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.

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 if often called "Motorola"
no doubt it has a technical name too, but Wikipedia
doesn't seem to know it.
