RCA probably developed several connectors. If one says "RCA"
then I imagine that is just a short form of "RCA phono".
Then show us another connector from RCA that became common as dirt.
I don't know who made it. One connector that was dirt common, was
that screw on connector with center push against contactor. Seems like
most old amateur radio microphones used to use it, as well as test
equipment.

What was that called ??
That looks like an F connector.
It is rather larger than an F connector. The outside threads
are 5/8 inch x 27 TPI (same as the US microphone stands)
And IIRC, that connector was originated by Amphenol.
Here is info about the Switchcraft versions...

Yes, I remember I have seen those, but can't think of the name.
Switchcraft 2501 doesn't trip off the tongue lightly.
S.
Back in the day, we used to order them as Amphenol MC
connectors. You can still get 'em today.
