Each socket mounts through a standard 8–9mm panel hole and is secured by a nut from the rear. The gold-plated center contact and outer shell provide low contact resistance and long-term corrosion resistance. Available in multiple colors (red, white, yellow, black) for standard AV color-coding: red = right audio, white = left audio, yellow = composite video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e RCA (phono) panel mount socket (jack)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc alloy, nickel or chrome-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass, gold-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanel Hole:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–9mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rear nut (panel thickness up to 6mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75Ω (matched to standard AV signal impedance)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red, White, Yellow, Black (select above)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10, 20, or 40 pieces (select above)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRCA Color Code Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right audio channel (analog stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhite (or Black):\u003c\/strong\u003e Left audio channel (analog stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYellow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Composite video\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlue\/Green\/Red (component video):\u003c\/strong\u003e Y (luminance), Pb (blue difference), Pr (red difference)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrange:\u003c\/strong\u003e S\/PDIF digital audio (coaxial)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eColor coding is a convention, not a technical requirement — all RCA sockets are electrically identical regardless of color.

Connect the signal wire to the center terminal and the shield\/ground wire to the outer shell terminal. For panel-mount applications, the outer shell is often connected to the chassis ground through the mounting nut — verify whether chassis grounding is appropriate for your application (it can cause ground loops in some audio systems).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eShould I ground the RCA socket body to the chassis?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis depends on the application. For single-ended (unbalanced) audio systems: grounding the socket body to the chassis is standard practice and provides shielding. However, if multiple pieces of equipment are connected and each has its chassis grounded to mains earth, ground loops can occur — causing a 50\/60Hz hum. To prevent ground loops: ground the socket body at one end of the signal chain only, or use isolated RCA sockets (with plastic insulating washers between the socket body and the chassis).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat panel thickness can these sockets accommodate?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear nut accommodates panel thicknesses up to approximately 6mm. For thicker panels, use a countersunk mounting hole or a socket with a longer threaded body. For thin panels (1–2mm), use a lock washer under the nut to prevent the socket from rotating when plugs are inserted and removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use these sockets for S\/PDIF digital audio?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. S\/PDIF coaxial digital audio uses standard RCA connectors at 75Ω impedance. These sockets are suitable for S\/PDIF connections. Use orange-colored sockets for S\/PDIF to follow the standard color convention and prevent confusion with analog audio connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifiers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Input and output RCA sockets on integrated amplifiers and power amplifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreamplifiers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Source input sockets on tube and solid-state preamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAV equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Composite video and analog audio input\/output sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDIY audio:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom amplifier and DAC chassis builds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatch panels:\u003c\/strong\u003e AV signal distribution panels in studios and AV installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10, 20, or 40 pieces (select above) — gold-plated RCA panel mount sockets (color as selected).
