They look like RCA But they are in fact imports used on Antenna
Connections to Signal Amplifiers.


It's the TV antennae cable plug being used in Hong Kong, which was ruled
by UK before 1997. It's not RCA, the pin is shorter.

I wanna know the TECHNICAL name of that plug design.


Isn't it just a push-on non threaded F Connector?


No, the center conductor is too fat. It's an ordinary RCA plug, but
with the solid shell to impress the audiophools.

The push-on F connectors I have here have the slotted shell, but the center
conductor is about 22 or 24 AWG and there's a springy loop around the
shell leaves.

Hope This Helps!
