PROEL PRCA25BK - Professional Female Aerial RCA Connector with Gold-Plated Contacts and Strain Relief
The PROEL PRCA25BK is a professional-grade female RCA aerial connector, meticulously designed for sound engineers, AV technicians, and audiophiles who demand maximum reliability in their custom connections. This component stands out for its robust construction and ability to maintain audio signal integrity in demanding environments, from recording studios to live sound installations.
Unlike standard plastic connectors, the PRCA25BK features a robust body and a black aluminum manicotto (housing) , giving it not only a sleek and understated look but also excellent shielding and mechanical durability. Its design incorporates gold-plated contacts, an essential feature for preventing long-term oxidation and ensuring pure signal transfer, free from parasitic noise or frequency loss.
One of the strengths of this connector is its cable protection system. It includes a high-quality flexible spring on the back, designed to provide effective strain relief. This spring prevents excessive bending or breakage of the cable at the solder point, supporting cables up to 8 mm in diameter. This allows the use of high-performance, thicker audio cables without compromising the assembly's structure.
Main features
-
Gold-plated contacts: Ensure superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, keeping audio quality unchanged over time.
-
Aluminum casing: Offers robust mechanical protection and a professional black finish.
-
Spring strain relief: Protects the cable against sudden pulls and bends, extending the life of your prefabricated cables.
-
Cable compatibility: The clamping spring supports audio cables up to 8mm thick, ideal for high-end balanced or coaxial lines.
-
Visual identification: Incorporates a black marker ring that facilitates quick channel identification (typically used for the left or mono channel) in complex stereo configurations.
Benefits of its use
Using the PROEL PRCA25BK connector in your cabling projects guarantees a solid and durable connection. Its inline design allows you to extend existing RCA cables without the need for signal-degrading couplers, or create custom adapters (e.g., from jack to female RCA) with the exact length you need. The easy soldering of its internal terminals allows for quick and secure assembly, saving time on repairs or on-site installations.
Use cases
-
Cable extensions: Creating RCA extension cables to reach distant equipment without losing quality.
-
Custom adapters: Manufacturing of "Y" cables or gender converters for mixing consoles and patch panels.
-
Equipment repair: Replacement of damaged connectors on multi-pair audio hoses or instrument cables.
-
Hi-Fi and Home Cinema Installations: Connection of subwoofers or audio components where thicker and higher quality cables than standard are required.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this connector require soldering?
Yes, the PROEL PRCA25BK is a connector for assembly by soldering the internal conductors.
-
What is the maximum cable diameter it supports?
Thanks to its flexible clamping spring, it is designed to house and protect cables up to 8 mm in outer diameter.
-
Is it a chassis or aerial connector?
It is an aerial connector (also known as an inline or flywheel connector), designed to be mounted on the end of a cable, not to be fixed to panels.
-
Does it come in other colors?
This specific model (BK) has a black ring. Proel generally offers a version with a red ring (RD) to differentiate the left and right stereo channels.
