Mini Screened Aerial connection

(1/3) > >>

BarryM:
Maplins used to market a miniature in-line screened aerial plug and socket. (A tiny thing not much bigger than a 20p piece.) Then with a logic known only to them, they stopped selling the socket and continued to sell the plug. I have tried the webites of all those who might be expected to stock such bits without success. Can anybody help with a supplier?

Thanks to all who answer.

Can you provide a link to the plug they still sel?l Then we'll all know exactly what you mean.

BarryM:
MITS,

Wish I could but having checked I now get a "This item is now discontinued" message for the plug on Maplins website. The item was part of their 'Mini UHF Series' of connectors. Just an ordinary screened plug and socket for RF connections of coaxial cable. The beauty of it was that it was only about 7mm dia., tops and 20mm long when assembled. I first saw them featured in Marine Modelling back in August 1998. Does that help?

My description of it as in-line is misleading as it was actually a plug and socket with the latter being flanged or fitted with a nut for panel mounting.

Googling 'mini uhf series' or 'mini uhf' returns many hits - are none of those the same thing?

maninthestreet:
How about this? :
