  Project X, a multi-megawatt proton source under development at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. [1]. The key element of the project is a superconducting (SC) 3GV continuous wave (CW) proton linac. The linac includes 5 types of SC accelerating cavities of two frequencies.(325 and 650MHz) The cavities consume up to 30 kW average RF power and need proper main couplers. Requirements and approach to the coupler design are discussed in the report. Results of electrodynamics and thermal simulations are presented. New cost effective schemes are described.
