RCA Phono Connectors

RCA Phono Connectors are designed with high precision to ensure that the signal transmitted between devices remains stable and unaffected by external interference. The connectors feature a tight mechanical fit and are manufactured with high-quality shielding that reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), maintaining the clarity of both audio and video signals. The gold-plated contacts in many connectors further minimize resistance, which results in better conductivity and less potential for signal loss over time. 

Contact Pressure

10-30 g (depending on connector design)

Insertion Force

15-50 N (varies with connector size and design)

Withdrawal Force

10-40 N (depends on connector type and coupling mechanism)

Dielectric Strength

1.5-2 kV (depends on the insulation material used)

Arc Resistance

Product Description

RCA connectors are built using materials that offer enhanced durability and resistance to corrosion. The pins are often gold-plated, providing a high-quality contact surface that reduces oxidation and ensures a long-lasting, low-resistance connection. The body of the connectors is typically made from high-grade metals such as brass or zinc alloys, which are selected for their strength and resistance to wear. These materials are critical in maintaining a reliable connection, even under frequent use or exposure to environmental factors. 

Contact Plating Thickness

Gold: 3-5 µm, Nickel: 5-10 µm (depending on plating requirements)

Contact Pitch

2.5-5 mm (typically depends on connector type and application)

Soldering Process

Standard soldering with temperature resistance up to 260°C

Electromagnetic Compatibility

< -50 dB at 1 GHz (depending on shielding material and design)

Shock Resistance

50 g for 11 ms (typical for industrial and commercial-grade connectors)

Coupling Mechanism

Locking ring or threaded coupling mechanism (depends on connector type)

Leakage Current

< 1 µA (at rated voltage)

Cable Compatibility

Compatible with cables ranging from 18 AWG to 28 AWG (for most applications)

Insulator Material

Polypropylene (PP), Polycarbonate (PC), or PVC (depending on application)

Crimping Mechanism

Use of specialized crimping tool for secure connection (if applicable)

Plating Material

Gold (typically), Nickel (used for corrosion resistance)

Pressure Resistance

Up to 200 N (depends on specific connector model)

Humidity Resistance

Rated for operation in up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing)

Sealing Material

Silicone or rubber gaskets (in weatherproof designs)

Flammability Rating

UL 94 V-0 (self-extinguishing rating)

Connector Strength

200-500 N (depends on connector type and materials used)

Mounting Torque

0.5-1.5 Nm (varies by design and application)

Technical Advantages

RCA Phono connectors are designed to work at a specific impedance, typically 75 ohms for video and 50 ohms for audio applications. Impedance mismatches can lead to signal reflections, degradation, and loss of clarity. The construction of RCA Phono Connectors is carefully calibrated to ensure that the impedance is matched between devices, thus minimizing the potential for signal distortion. This is especially important in high-definition video systems or professional audio setups, where even minor signal degradation can negatively impact performance. 

The mechanical design of RCA Phono connectors plays a significant role in their performance and ease of use. The pin-and-sleeve design allows for secure and stable connections without the risk of loosening over time. The male plug typically has a cylindrical pin with a spring-loaded mechanism that ensures a reliable connection to the female socket, equipped with a corresponding internal contact spring. This precise geometry ensures a tight, vibration-resistant connection and reduces the risk of physical wear that could compromise signal integrity.
