Default Connector identification

Can anybody tell me what type of UHF socket this is, please?

It's approximately 7mm in diameter x 7mm in length.

Looks like a BNC to me.

(and yes in the past I fitted them to Pocketfones so I could attach a proper antenna rather than using the horrible insensitive internal metal-plate thing).

Sounds too small to be standard BNC. A mini-BNC connector of about the right size does exist, see: https://www.amphenolrf.com/connectors/mini-bnc.html, but I'm not quite convinced that this is what we're looking at.

7mm diameter is too small for a normal BNC connector. There is a minature BNC connector which is about that size, look at RS under BNC connectors and select 'miniature' on the size filter. There's also a micro BNC which is even smaller (about 5mm diameter?)

Thank you for the replies, guys.

I checked a couple of the aforementioned links & the dimensions suggest this is probably a mini' BNC socket, so I've ordered one in the hope it's right.
