Does anyone know what this plug would have been used on or what type it is?
It has stamped on it the part number; 1054 0163

The body excluding the knurled retaining ring is about 7mm DIA.

It looks to me like a "Pattern 12 connector". According to my School of Signals Technology Group notes:

"This range of connectors was designed in co-operation with SRDE and manufactured by Magnetic Devices Ltd. They are used to terminate the inter-chassis connectors within a main equipment (as in the B70 and the R216) and as receiver aerial terminations (as in the Eddystone 730/4).

By using different sizes of inner and outer sleeves, it is possible to terminate coaxial cables having outside diameters between 0.175" and 0.230". The maximum working voltage is 500 volts RMS and the VSWR is better that 0.83:1 up to 1,200 MHz when terminating UR 43 (50 ohm) cable or up to 200 MHz when terminating UR 70 (75 ohm) cable".

Hi,

I've got one of those kicking around here somewhere. I've often wondered what it was for.

Cheers,
Pete

Also known as an F & E (Films & Equipment Ltd) connector.

Kind regards,

The box of connectors was from a clean out at a film equipment workshop.
F&E sounds right.
