PROEL S500 - Professional 6.3mm Jumbo Mono Male Jack Connector
The PROEL S500 is a 6.3 mm (1/4") mono male jack connector designed specifically for professional applications requiring maximum robustness and reliability in signal transmission. This model is distinguished by its "Jumbo" format, a feature that provides a larger body compared to standard connectors, greatly facilitating the soldering process and allowing for the management of large-gauge cables.
Made from high-quality materials, the S500 features a fully nickel-plated finish that ensures excellent electrical conductivity and superior resistance to corrosion and wear from continuous use. Its design includes a large-diameter, flexible strain relief spring capable of accommodating cables up to 12 mm thick. This makes it the ideal choice for creating charging cables (speaker cables) or high-end instrument cables where insulation and cable protection are critical to prevent internal damage.
Whether you're upgrading your existing connections or assembling custom studio and live cabling, the Proel S500 offers the mechanical security and sonic integrity demanded by professional sound engineers and musicians.
Main features
-
Ergonomic Jumbo Format: Its oversized casing not only makes it easier to grip, but also offers more interior space for clean and safe welding without the risk of short circuits.
-
Superior Cable Protection: Incorporates an extra-wide nickel-plated spring designed to protect the connection between the cable and the connector, supporting thick hoses up to 12 mm.
-
Metal Construction: Both the body and the contacts are made of durable metal with a nickel finish, guaranteeing durability against bumps and steps on stage.
-
Mono TS Connection: Standard two-pole configuration (Tip-Grid) for unbalanced instrument or speaker load signals.
Product benefits
-
Ease of assembly: Thanks to its wide internal cavity, it is much easier to work with thick cables (such as speaker wires) compared to standard jack connectors.
-
Longer cable lifespan: The 12mm spring prevents the cable from bending at sharp angles right at the connector exit, preventing breakage of the conductor core.
-
Clean and stable signal: The nickel coating provides an optimal contact surface that minimizes resistance and prevents parasitic noise from oxidation.
-
Professional durability: Designed to withstand rigorous use on tours, equipment rentals, and daily setups.
Use cases
- Making charging cables to connect amplifier heads to speaker screens (Speaker cables).
- Repair or creation of high gauge or thick shielded instrument cables (guitar, bass, keyboards).
- Fixed installations in recording studios where a solid and durable connection is required.
- Replacement of damaged connectors in multipair cables or professional sound equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this connector work for stereo signals?
No, the Proel S500 is a Mono (TS) connector, designed for unbalanced signals such as those from instruments or speakers. For stereo, you would need a TRS connector.
-
What is the maximum cable thickness it supports?
Thanks to its Jumbo design and special spring, it accommodates cables with an outer diameter of up to 12 mm, which is above the market average.
-
Is welding necessary for installation?
Yes, this is a manual assembly aerial connector, so it requires tin soldering to secure the conductors to the internal terminals.
-
Is the body made of plastic or metal?
The entire outer body and spring are made of metal with a nickel-plated finish, offering maximum mechanical resistance and shielding.
