Didn;t you also used to use a flat 2 pin balanced connector for radio
aerials? IIRC there were 2 fo them for AM and FM band aerials -- one had
a locating pin in the middle the other didn't. I've not used one of those
for _years_, though.
And a third with a locating pin offset from the centre so as to be out of the
plane
of the connectors. If it wasn't for a different impedance then I don't have a
clue why such a connector even existed, unless it was a foolhardy attempt to lock
you
in to a particular manufacturer - breaking the pin made no difference to the
connection...
Most (all?) balanced aerials I see these days have screw connectors, or an
ordinary 75 Ohm connector.
