Belling-Lee connector or IEC 169-2 connector

What's the name of the plugs in USA?
It seems that USA televisions only use F Type connectors.


Belling-Lee connetors are not used in the USA. We use F connectors
and RCA connectors for TV RF:

However, not all the F connector plugs are threaded as in "quick
connect" or "push on" connectors that simply slide over the threads.

Adapters are available:

Thanks. I've got a dual tuner card from a thrift shop that has those connectors,
so you've just helped me out too.


At least someone got helped!
