PROEL S210BK - 6.3 mm (1/4") Mono Male Jack Connector with Flexible Protective Spring
The PROEL S210BK is a professional audio connector designed to deliver clean and robust signal transmission in all types of audio applications. This 6.3 mm (1/4") mono male jack connector stands out for its solid construction and engineering designed for extreme durability. It's the ideal solution for musicians who build their own custom cables, as well as for sound engineers who need to perform quick and reliable repairs on stage or in the studio.
Made with a durable metal housing, this connector features a nickel-plated finish that not only gives it a professional look but also protects the internal components from corrosion and everyday wear and tear. Its most distinctive feature is the flexible strain relief spring located on the back. This spring is crucial for protecting the cable at its most vulnerable point: the connector outlet. By absorbing mechanical stress and preventing extreme bending, the spring dramatically extends the life of your cables, preventing the common internal breaks that cause annoying noise or signal drops.
The internal design of the PROEL S210BK simplifies the soldering process, providing clear and secure contact points to ensure optimal electrical conductivity. It is compatible with cables up to 7 mm in diameter, making it versatile for a wide range of instrument wiring and unbalanced audio lines.

Benefits for the user
Using quality connectors like the PROEL S210BK makes all the difference in your audio chain. Its main benefit lies in its reliability ; thanks to its protective spring, you can move freely on stage knowing that the cable won't suffer structural damage at the connector. Furthermore, the nickel plating ensures that your instrument's signal reaches the amplifier without any tone loss or added interference from poor connections. It's a cost-effective investment that saves money in the long run by reducing the need to replace entire cables.
Use cases
-
Instrument cable manufacturing: Ideal for assembling custom cables for electric guitar, bass, or keyboards.
-
Equipment repair: Perfect for replacing damaged or noisy connectors on existing cables.
-
Patch connections: Creating short cables to interconnect effects pedals or rack processors.
-
Speaker cables: Suitable for making charging cables to connect heads to screens (respecting the appropriate cable section).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this connector stereo or mono?
The PROEL S210BK is a mono connector (TS - Tip/Sleeve), designed for unbalanced signals such as those from guitars or basses.
Do I need to solder to install this connector?
Yes, this is a solder-mount connector. It requires basic soldering tools to attach the wire conductors to the internal terminals.
Is it suitable for very thin cables?
Yes, although it accommodates cables up to 7 mm, it can be used with thinner cables. However, for optimal mechanical clamping, it is recommended to use standard instrument diameter cables (around 6 mm).
