The screw clamp mechanism grips the center conductor and shield\/braid separately, providing a secure connection without heat. Metal body construction provides better shielding and mechanical durability than plastic-body RCA plugs. Suitable for DIY audio cable assembly, amplifier connections, speaker wiring, and AV equipment interconnects where soldering equipment is not available or practical.\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) male plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solderless screw clamp (no soldering required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal (zinc alloy or brass), gold-plated contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass, gold-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Entry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accepts cable OD 4–7mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4, 10, or 20 pieces (select above)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSolderless vs Solder-Type RCA Plugs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolder-type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wire soldered to the center pin and outer shell.

Slide the outer shell and strain relief over the cable. 2. Strip the cable jacket 20–25mm. 3. Fold the braid\/shield back over the jacket. 4. Strip the center conductor insulation 8–10mm. 5. Insert the center conductor into the center pin clamp screw and tighten. 6. Fold the braid into the outer shell clamp and tighten. 7. Slide the outer shell forward and tighten onto the body. 8. Test with a multimeter: verify continuity from center conductor to center pin, and no short between center pin and outer shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat cable is compatible with these plugs?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard coaxial audio cable with OD 4–7mm: RG174 (thin, flexible), RG59 (standard), or dedicated audio coaxial cable (Mogami, Canare, Belden). Verify the cable OD fits within the plug’s cable entry range before cutting. The cable must have a center conductor and a braid\/foil shield — two-conductor non-coaxial cable is not suitable for RCA plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAre solderless RCA plugs suitable for high-end audio?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor critical listening applications, solder-type RCA plugs provide lower and more consistent contact resistance than screw clamp types. Solderless plugs are suitable for home theater, AV equipment, and general audio use where the slight increase in contact resistance is not audible. For audiophile applications where every connection is optimized, use solder-type plugs with silver solder and high-quality cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHome theater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Subwoofer cables, source-to-amplifier interconnects\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAV installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Composite video and analog audio cable assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDJ equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turntable and mixer interconnect cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDIY audio:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom-length RCA cables without soldering equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCCTV:\u003c\/strong\u003e Composite video cable assembly for analog camera systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4, 10, or 20 pieces (select above) — solderless gold-plated RCA male plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cable Parts Online","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 4 PCS","offer_id":47850608296181,"sku":"14:200004890#Black;200001249:202408830#4 PCS","price":14.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 10 PCS","offer_id":47850608263413,"sku":"14:200004890#Black;200001249:202408832#10 PCS","price":21.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 20 PCS","offer_id":47850608165109,"sku":"14:200004890#Black;200001249:202408829#20 PCS","price":32.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ 4 PCS","offer_id":47850608328949,"sku":"14:200004889#Red;200001249:202408830#4 PCS","price":14.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ 10 PCS","offer_id":47850608230645,"sku":"14:200004889#Red;200001249:202408832#10 PCS","price":21.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ 20 PCS","offer_id":47850608197877,"sku":"14:200004889#Red;200001249:202408829#20 PCS","price":32.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/3494\/0149\/files\/Sdb2339cee80b4f5993ca84cdc698209b8.webp?v=1773899379","url":"https:\/\/www.csldmcml.com\/products\/solderless-gold-plated-rca-plugs-metal-av-audio-video-amplifier-speaker-diy","provider":"Cable Parts Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
