What's the name of the plugs in USA?

It seems that USA televisions only use F Type connectors.


The UK version is mentioned here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_aerial_plug

"Belling-Lee connector or IEC 169-2 connector,
more often simply known as TV aerial plug"

A lot of my wiring here (Canada), is done with F series.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_connector

The RCA / Cinch connector is also a common
connector type on home electronics, being used
for audio and video. Compared to the Belling-Lee,
the central prong is longer.

The antenna connector in my car, is like none
of those, so there is at least one other flavor,

The car radio antenna plug is often called "Motorola"
no doubt it has a technical name too, but Wikipedia
doesn't seem to know it.

** Kiwi sheep shagger alert !

When not called "tv coaxial antenna plug" (or some variation thereof)
I've heard it called called "Belling-Lee" or "PAL" (neither of which
are technically accurate).

** The correct name for any thing, animal or person is that name by which it
is most commonly known.

Any other names are less correct.

Being technically accurate has nothing to do with names.

Or else, your correct name would be:

" tedious, PITA, sheep fucker and massive troll "

Get it ??

Betts you don't.

In England some people joke that it stands for "Brand New Connector" and

It wasn't until the second world war that the concept of standarization
across manufacturers was pushed. Companies made their own parts,
connectors,
etc, and tried to prevent competion.

It seems that the manufacturers of anything battery-powered haven't gotten

Why can't Motorola be it's proper name? It was "invented" by Motorola.
It's a longer version of the the RCA connector, "invented" by RCA.

Probably at one time RCA had a patent on its connector and Motorola
had a patent on theirs.

The connectors in the photo are "press-on F" connectors.
Cheap to make, they simply slide on the chassis threaded F.
They are horrible and cause a lot of issues as they do not
allow proper and tight sheilding.

I don't think that's correct. An F connector normally uses the center
conductor of the cable -- a wire -- as the center connection -- not an
RCA-like plug.

The press-on F connectors I've seen use a slotted jacket that usually fits
snugly and rarely causes problems.

While I personally think the world would be a better place if everyone
standardized on 1.2 volt AA batteries (preferably NiMH at the moment) it's
a loosing battle.

You would figure that after the battery disaster with the original iPod
Apple would have done something better but it seems that their customers
prefer internal batteries that need to be replace by a technician or the
entire device recycled.

Come to think of it, every pocket music or video player I have ever seen
except for the first, a 256meg USB stick, had a "permanent" battery.

Or the "GR" plug on General Radio equipment. People my age fairly

The "GR" connector is *not* a "double banana". The GR connector is a
hermaphroditic connector about an inch in diameter.

Some GR to BNC in the first pic and a GR 'T's in the second and third:

I can't find a BNC female to Belling Lee adaptor in Amazon US...

In fact Amazon US doesn't have any electronics item with "Belling Lee"
in its specification.

In the US they are called PAL connectors.

Officially, on both sides of the pond, they are referred to as IEC
Click to expand...
169-2, or IEC 60169-2 connectors, and they are CRAP for TV usage as
they are not a proper match to 75 ohm cable - actually closer to 50
ohm, and cause reflections and ghosting of the signal

The IEC 169-24, or "F" connector is superior for TV use.

Not the ones I saw in the picture. The center pin is WAY too fat
for an F. They're simply audiophool-style RCA connectors with a solid
shell that looks "kewl".

And are good for about ten or twenty insertions before they get loose.

I'll never ever waste my money on NiMH batteries again. They're the
crappiest excuse for batteries I've ever encountered. After about six
months of use, and charge/use cycles, their useful life (per charge)
deteriorates to a matter of seconds.

Anyone who spends money on NiMHs, even with a "smart" charger, is an
idiot.

And you misspelled "losing."
