What's the name of the plugs in USA?

It seems that USA televisions only use F Type connectors.

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

Well, they looked like audiophool-grade RCAs to me; if not, then what

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.

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.

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!

No. It is a European TV antenna connector. They weren't used for
anything in the US, except on equipment brought in by foreigners. Some
referred to it as a PAL connector in the US,

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).

compared to F connectors it has the advantage of withstanding more
insertion cycles, but the disadvantage of poor impedance matching.

Wikipedia suggests it is standardised as "IEC 169-2"

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

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 ****er and massive troll "

Get it ??

Betts you don't.

Yes, but the solid shell is probably confusing.

They're also used for demodulated plain ol' NTSC video, but
I can't speak at what they use in Rightpondia. ;-)

All of you are all wrong.. The plugs that are on the white cable in the
Weblink is in fact known as Belling Lee. They are used all over Great
Britain for both FM and UHF TV The ones in the pic are the male version of
Belling Lee.

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.

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.

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.

In the US they are called PAL connectors.

Officially, on both sides of the pond, they are referred to as IEC
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.

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:
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.

Y'er welcome. I had never heard of Belling-Lee connectors until some
friends arrived from UK with "universal" AM/FM/TV/SW contrivance that
did PAL, NTSC, and SECAM all in one box. I wanted to see how well it
worked, but when I tried to plug in a test cable, I couldn't find a
connector that would fit. The manual was useless. The local shopping
mall travel store was helpful. They allowed me to dig through their
collection of connectors, where I found one as part of a very
expensive adapter kit. A few photos and a dumb question in one of the
travel forums generated the necessary info. However, I didn't want to
wait for an adapter, so I made my own from some brass tubing and an F
connector.
