PROEL PP310 - 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Panel Female Connector - Professional 3-Pole Solution
The PROEL PP310 is a high-quality chassis connector designed to meet the demands of installers, sound engineers, and musicians who require reliable audio connections. This female panel connector, with a standard 6.3 mm (1/4 inch) jack format, is distinguished by its robust construction and its ability to handle stereo or balanced signals thanks to its 3-pole (TRS) configuration.
Built for durability, this component is ideal for constructing stage boxes, custom patch bays, amplifier repairs, or modifications to effects pedalboards. Its metal design not only provides superior mechanical resistance against continuous use and cable strain, but also helps maintain signal integrity by minimizing unwanted noise.
The PROEL PP310 is installed securely and permanently using solder contacts, ensuring uninterrupted and corrosion-free electrical signal transmission over the long term. As a 3-pole connector, it offers the versatility needed to work with both stereo (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) and balanced mono audio signals, adapting to a wide range of professional applications in recording studios and live sound.

- Installation of audio output ports on pedalboards to facilitate live setup.
- DIY (Do It Yourself) audio electronics projects and modular synthesizers.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this connector work for mono cables?
Yes, it's fully compatible. If you insert a 2-pole mono (TS) jack, the ring contact simply grounds (sleeve) depending on how you've wired it, or it remains unused, functioning perfectly as a standard mono connector.
-
What diameter hole do I need to install it?
These connectors typically require a standard audio chassis hole, commonly around 23-24 mm for D-type connectors or the specific thread diameter for center-nut connectors, depending on the exact chassis variant. Measuring the component before drilling is recommended.
-
Is it necessary to solder the wires?
Yes, the PROEL PP310 has rear terminals specifically designed to be soldered with tin, which is the most professional and safe method to avoid future contact failures.
-
Can it transmit a balanced signal?
Absolutely. Having 3 poles (Tip, Ring, Sleeve), it is perfectly capable of carrying balanced audio signals (Positive, Negative and Ground).
