[AMPS] RCA and Phone Plug Labels

[nospam4me@juno.com]

Hello again, 
-
I'm under the impression the RCA Connector might be a 
trade marked name, but it does describe the item in it's 
most popular form.  It might also be called a phono plug 
variant in it's generic family label. 
- 
Its a very nice RF and Audio connector at many 
frequencies and goes quite high (depending on quality 
of design and dielectric).  
- 
Phono and Phone Plug/Jacks also describe the classic 
.25 "quarter inch" and .125 "eight inch" plugs found in 
many audio applications. 
- 
A trip to the digikey , Newark (Farnell over on your side of 
the water) would reveal what "family of plugs" the classic 
RCA would be listed under. 
- 
Digikey, Radio Shaft (Shack) and others would also 
provide some help.  I have it listed in my OrCad Library 
as an RCA.   As a former Motorola Service Station 
Employee, I seem to remember Motorhead even listing 
it as an RCA connector in some service manuals.  A lot 
like the Posi-drive screw, they had to eat a little crow and 
admit they had no credit in its original design.

Is the 'RCA' connector the same thing we call a 'phono plug'? The type of
connector used on the Heathkit HW101 antenna connector, and I believe,
either
the KWM2 antenna connector or the 30L1 input connector - not sure which.
