Motorola connecter or a Motorola antenna plug is a connector used on a car radio antenna. It is a common coaxial cable RF connector used mainly in the locomotive trade for linking coaxial feed line from the antenna to the radio receiver. The pin of the connector is fused to the middle of the conductor of the coaxial cable starting the antenna. Its adjacent ground forms a 1.5inch long sleeve all over the coax. By rubbing the male plug alongside the female socket, the sleeve contains one or more longitudinal spring that offer sufficient electrical contact.
