PROEL FRCA20WH - Professional RCA Panel Female Connector with Square Base and Gold-Plated Contacts (White Identifier)
The PROEL FRCA20WH is a high-end audio connector designed for system integrators, sound engineers, and manufacturers who demand the highest quality signal. This RCA-type female panel connector features a robust construction on a square base , making it ideal for permanent installations in racks, stage boxes, patch bays, and custom audio equipment.
The engineering behind this component focuses on the purity of the transmission. It features fully gold-plated contacts and body , a crucial characteristic that not only provides a premium aesthetic but also guarantees superior electrical conductivity and exceptional resistance to corrosion and oxidation over time. Unlike standard nickel connectors, the gold finish ensures that the audio signal remains clean and free of unwanted noise, even in humid or demanding environments.
One of its most valued technical features is the complete electrical isolation between the female connector and the panel housing. This design prevents the dreaded ground loops that often generate unwanted hum in complex audio chains. The white isolation ring facilitates quick visual identification, following the industry standard color code (typically used for the left channel in stereo or mono audio), which speeds up wiring in low-light environments.
Main Features
-
Premium Construction: Gold-plated body and contacts for optimal signal transfer and extended durability.
-
Ground Isolation: The design isolates the ground contact from the panel chassis, eliminating noise due to potential differences.
-
Secure Mounting: Square base with holes for screw fixing, offering superior mechanical stability compared to simple nut connectors.
-
Reliable Internal Connection: Rear terminals prepared for soldering, allowing a solid and permanent connection with the internal wiring.
-
Clear Identification: White insulating ring for fast and error-free channel management.
User Benefits
Using the PROEL FRCA20WH raises the bar for any audio project. For the installer, the square base simplifies alignment and mounting on metal or wood panels, preventing the connector from rotating with continuous use—a common problem with round connectors. For the end user or audiophile, the peace of mind of a gold-plated connection means that sound integrity will remain unchanged for years, with no frequency loss or contact noise.
Use Cases
-
Patch Bays: Ideal for recording studios that require multiple organized RCA inputs and outputs.
-
Hi-Fi Equipment Modification: Replacement of old or damaged connectors in high fidelity amplifiers and preamplifiers.
-
Audiovisual Installations: Custom wall plates in conference rooms or home theaters for stereo audio connections.
-
Stage Boxes: Auxiliary inputs for external players in live PA systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this connector require soldering?
Yes, the internal wiring connection must be made by soldering to ensure maximum electrical reliability.
-
Does the connector ground itself to the metal chassis where it is installed?
No, thanks to its electrically isolated design, the audio signal ground is kept separate from the panel chassis, which is essential to avoid ground noise.
-
What does the white color of the ring mean?
In the audio standard, white usually indicates the left channel in stereo signals, although it can be used for any signal depending on the project's needs.
-
Is it compatible with any standard RCA cable?
Absolutely, it accepts any standard RCA male connector on the market.
