ANTENNA CONNECTOR ID

I am trying to ID an antenna connector to put an external antenna on an Anchor 4500 wireless PA system. This unit uses home grown UHF receivers with a built in PC board antenna (which sucks) The receiver have a small antenna plug type connector that looks just like the old motorola type auto radio antenna connector. But, its about 1/3 the size. It has a center pins that sticks out and a metal smooth sleeve for the shield. Anybody got a clue what they call this type of connector?



I looked in digikey, mouser, newark and could not seem to find it. Its Not like a SMA or usually UHF type connectors. Looks just like a miniature motorola type car antenna. Any clues on this would be appreciated.

Bob-

I don't know what they call it, but your description sounds like connectors used internally in some Ham transceivers. The mate is often mounted on a circuit board, with a cable connecting between it and a similar connector on another board, or between it and a more common connector on the rear panel.

It might be possible to obtain an adapter cable by getting a replacement part from Icom or Kenwood. It would help if you can get more precise dimensions of the pin diameter and length, and the sleeve diameter and length.

Google UHF, mini-UHF and SMA

See if any of those look like what you want..
