Name of plug in US

you!

The name of the plug is, how an RCA phonograph plug should have been made.

Not the ones I saw in the picture. The center pin is WAY too fat for an F. They're simply audiophool-style RCA connectors with a solid shell that looks "kewl".

And are good for about ten or twenty insertions before they get loose.

A car antenna connector (AM band) has an "inside-out" shell:

I'll never ever waste my money on NiMH batteries again. They're the crappiest excuse for batteries I've ever encountered. After about six months of use, and charge/use cycles, their useful life (per charge) deteriorates to a matter of seconds.

Anyone who spends money on NiMHs, even with a "smart" charger, is an idiot.

And you misspelled "losing."

Hope This Helps! Rich

THERE IS NO APOSTROPHE IN THE POSSESSIVE ITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please clue up.

Please stop shouting. There should be a key just to the left of your "A" key, labeled "Caps Lock." Press that once, and watch for the little green CAPS LOCK LED on your keyboard to extinguish.

Thanks, Rich

The trick is to not keep them on a charger at all times. And also, it's good to cycle them..

I've a 2 old laptops that I bring out from time to time for specific things and their batteries still charge well and hold.

Does that help your battery issue?

The 'G' connector was mostly used on modules in CATV line amps and MATV headend modules to plug in band splitters, single channel strip amplifiers or other items. They had to make a very good connection, and there was no room to use something like a BNC connector. Not only did the connectors have to pass power to amplifier modules, they provided all the mechanical mounting for the modules. The final requirement was no RF leakage, even though there were no threads.

Do a search for "Small Computer Serial Interface" for another laugh. It gives over 70K hits but a few years ago it was over a half million, including the website of a college in their computer course. I emailed them to point out the bad information and was told that "That is an old page, and we don't update those."

It describes the shell size and number of possible contacts. The S or P tells which half. It would be rare to find someone who only carries one half, wouldn't it? :)

RCA used them in their TV transmitters. I had a couple new, Amphenol still in the bags I picked up surplus when I worked in Broadcasting.

No, It was developed by Galvin manufacturing, who called their first car radio the 'Motorola'. Then they changed the company's name to Motorola.

How so? The Motorola plug has an exposed center conductor, and spring contacts on the body to hold it in the jack.

The RCA jack was developed for radios to add a Phono input to sell turntables instead of the existing acoustic phonos. The connector has a shorter center pin, and the outer contact was split ever 90 degrees to allow it to be forced over the jack. Most early phono connectors I saw wouldn't fit inside a Motorola jack, and the center contact was too short to reach the center of a Motorola jack. Also, the braid of the shielded cable was soldered to the shell of the Phono connector, but the Motorola plugs were crimped to the shield of the RG-62, 93 ohm coax. Some OEMs didn't even solder the center pin. Instead, they shoved a piece of rubber into it, to hold the wire to the side.

Of course they did. At one time a 'Factory radio' for a Ford vehicle could be a Bendix, a Motorola, or a Philco. General Motors radios were built by Delco, who built home radios at one time. The smaller car companies bought customized radios from various manufacturers with the required nosepiece, shaft spacings and lengths to fit that car.

Not true. A lot of early US radios used the same connectors for batteries. Tube families all used the same sockets. Binding Posts, Phone Tip Jacks, and Banana Jacks were very common to connect headphone or speakers. The common terminal strips were used as well.

Most of the military connectors developed for W.W.II were obsolete soon after the war ended, and the next generation of Military electronics was developed. They are the hardest thing to find when you collect surplus military electronics.

A friend's mother has an RCA radio with a Television jack. Apparently it was "television ready" in that you could plug your speakerless, audio-amplifier-free RCA television into it.

The problem with both the RCA plug and the Motorola plug, compared to other coaxial plugs, is that the hot lead makes contact before the ground does.

You obviously mishandled them. There is nothing inherently wrong with NiMH batteries. Less, in fact, than NiCd.

Anyone who can't figure out how to use a "smart" charger, obviously isn't. ;-)
