TV aerial plug

Domestic antenna plugs and sockets are devices that connect the TV set to the TV antenna (aerial).
Antenna plugs are male antenna connectors that fit into female antenna sockets.
Antenna sockets are female antenna connectors that have slots or holes which accept the pins or blades of antenna plugs inserted into them and deliver or receive TV signal to or from the plugs. Sockets are generally mounted on the TV set or in the wall. Sockets are usually designed to reject any plug which is not built to the same standard. Some sockets have one or more pins that connect to holes in the plug

Belling-Lee

Unlike the coaxial F adapter acclimated today for the aforementioned purpose in North America, the IEC 60169-2 adapter is not akin to the 75-ohm appropriate impedance of the antenna cable used, its impedance is about 50-ohm. The abridgement of impedance analogous causes arresting reflections in the cable, arch to apparent arresting baloney on VHF and UHF frequencies (but not MW or Shortwave).

The IEC-169-2 adapter is recognised as a antecedent of arresting baloney and has become a accurate affair with agenda arresting reception, accurately UHF HDTV.

DAB (digital radio) and added accession modes are not as acutely afflicted by the impedance analogous issue, so alone HDTV and digital accession systems are encouraged to use the F connector.

In animosity of getting somewhat clashing for avant-garde alternation VHF and UHF TV frequencies, due to automated inertia, the Belling Lee adapter is still acclimated today as a TV arresting accession connector.

In Europe and the Americas this adapter is not acclimated to affix digital TV antennas. The added electrically acceptable 75-ohm F adapter is standard. However, the anachronistic BSB receiver acclimated a Belling Lee adapter for the LNB feed

Miniature Belling Lee

There is also a miniature Belling Lee connectorcitation needed which was used for internal connections inside some equipment (including BBC RC5/3 Band II receiver and the STC AF101 Radio Telephone). The standard Belling Lee plug is about 33 mm long and 9.5 mm diameter (mating surface); the miniature version looks similar but is only about 17 mm long and 4.4 mm diameter. Amalgamated Wireless Australasia (AWA) used miniature Belling & Lee connectors, internally, in their 25M series Land Mobile two-way radios in the early 1970s. The socket is a Belling & Lee L1465/CS whilst the plug is a Belling & Lee 1465/PF.2
