Connector suggestions wanted

[stevehertz]

I have a long wire external AM aerial. Inside the house I want to connect it to various rooms and sets by way of connection and simultaneous isolation. I will use a simple plug and inline socket system to do this. I'm looking for suggestions for a suitable small inline plug and socket to use? Obviously it's a single conductor requirement.

These are inline 4 mm sockets, plugs should be easy to find.

Just a thought:

Given that it's only a receiving aerial, why not put a 'Lorlin' multiway single pole rotary switch in an ABS box with one 4mm socket for the aerial, then the desired number of outlets - four for example - with 4mm sockets & plugs to the various rooms, switched in or out as desired?

Saves plugging and unplugging wires.

Like in the rough sketch below.

Dave, good idea in theory, and I had considered something like that. However, firstly, the aerial splits into just two lines, then one of those again gets split into a choice of two, so a simple 'plug n play' system seemed apt as it's not a 'one into however many', one off choice. Plus I want it to be as unobtrusive as possible where it/they are at almost ceiling height. I don't want to get into mounting boxes etc.

Thanks for rooting that one out, perfect. I just spoke to the guy and the dimensions are OD, so my c2mm diameter core aerial wire will be best suited to the 3.5mm version, which I have ordered. Connections are solder joints which again I prefer. Also, being gold plated they should not give any connection problems. Thanks!

And thanks to everyone who responded, appreciated.
