What's the name of the plugs in USA?

It seems that USA televisions only use F Type connectors.

This looks to me like an RF plug I have seen used for antenna input on
some imported FM tuners (my Onkyo has one). I don't recall the name
but Radio Shack used to have adapters to fit both the male and female
varieties of this to U,S,-standard threaded
F connectors.

You have gotten one good reply from The Ghost in the Machine,
although it took him 2 tries. It is an RCA plug, used for

We may both be wrong..
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.

That connector is extremely common in Italy. Its name is "9.5mm TV plug", see
http://www.xy-cabling.com/products/9...ck-602551.html

Adapters to F connectors are also very common, see
http://phaetonelectronic.en.made-in-...Connector.html

PAL refers to the type of analogueTV standard rather than he type of
connector

There are at least three analogue TV broadcast systems, PAL, (Phase
Alternate Line), NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) and SECAM (a
variant of PAL where the audio and colour is carried in a different way)

Belling Lee is a connector standard, nothing to do with PAL so its a mistake
on the website.

RG6 and RG59 are CABLE designations, not a plug designation.

What's the name of the plugs in USA?

It seems that USA televisions only use F Type connectors.

Hello,

The F - connector is for Cable TV to plug into. There are usually other
jacks as well. Composite video and left & right audio jacks that are RCA.
Some TVs have an S-video jack which is a 4 pin connector that gives better
picture quality over composite video. Newer TVs will have Component video
jacks which are 3 video jacks all RCA, this is better that composite or
S-Video and even newer TVs with have an HDMI or DVI connector on them.
Using Component video cables for your picture will be better but less
convienent that HDMI.

Hope this help.

Shaun

So you want this to go on the antenna connector of a USA television?

Yes, F-connectors, but the name for oe without threads that goes on
quickly and holds on by spring tension, I don't know if I ever knew.

They sell adapters to go from threads to smooth at Ace Hardware for a
really good price, plus I guess they would have to name them on the
bubble pack. Hey I still have some bubble packs.

Video adapter Push-on. Converts screw-on "F" type plug to push-on.

Adaptador para video
A presion

Only 99 cents a piece. Much cheaper than other brick stores, and
almost as cheap as mail order. Plus Ace Hardware has more hardware
than HD and Lowes.


So it's a push-on F-conector!

That is, if the answer to this question is Yes.

The url you give does have a center pin that is thicker than a US tv
will accept. But you brought up TVs so I'm figuring you provided the
wrong picture.

We may both be wrong..
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?

Chris


No its not as it won't physically fit.


Sure it will. Hold the back of the TV up to the screen. Oh, you're
right. The OP provided the wrong picture.

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.


There is more to this world than Amazon.

Try Nile.com or Mississippi.com.

Belling Lee is a connector standard, nothing to do with PAL so its a mistake
on the website.


And for that matter, BNC twist on, so why are they in this discussion
at all (in other posts)? I just learned that B stands for bayonet.

Belling-Lee connetors are not used in the USA. We use F connectors
and RCA connectors for TV RF:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_connector
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!

Hello,

The F - connector is for Cable TV to plug into.


You must live in a Cable world. F is the only thing that will connect
to the antenna jack (or signal input jack) on most or all American tvs
these days, and to DVD recorders, and to VCRs in the past, and this
works well because F-connectors are used on the end of co-ax that goes
to antennas too, in the attic, on the roof, and probably from rabbit
ears, which btw are still sold.

So it hardly just for cable TV.

There are usually other
jacks as well. Composite video and left & right audio jacks that are RCA.
Some TVs have an S-video jack which is a 4 pin connector that gives better
picture quality over composite video. Newer TVs will have Component video
jacks which are 3 video jacks all RCA, this is better that composite or
S-Video and even newer TVs with have an HDMI or DVI connector on them.
Using Component video cables for your picture will be better but less
convienent that HDMI.


Yes, you're right.

Hope this help.

Shaun

I've also heard them called "British Naval Connectors".
