RCA Female Socket 1-Port 2-Pin PCB Mount (Straight, Red)

Product Overview

This premium single-port vertical female RCA socket is engineered specifically for direct through-hole printed circuit board (PCB) mounting. Featuring a high-visibility, color-coded red PBT insulator ring, this connector provides standardized visual identification for right-channel analog audio signals, digital S/PDIF coaxial lines, or composite video streams. Built with a heavy-duty copper alloy outer casing and nickel-plated shielding, it delivers exceptional structural integrity, low signal attenuation, and superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-density audio and signal routing designs.

Technical Specifications

The connector utilizes a straight 2-pin vertical PCB solder footprint designed to optimize board space while delivering sturdy mechanical anchoring against insertion stress. It accepts standard male RCA plugs with an 8.32mm jack diameter, utilizing high-retention phosphor bronze spring contacts for low insertion loss. Electrically rated for up to 50V DC and 0.5A continuous current, the component maintains low initial contact resistance of under 30 milliohms and high insulation resistance exceeding 100 Megohms at 500V DC. Operating within ambient temperature ranges from -20C to +70C, it supports standard wave-soldering processes up to 260C for 5 seconds.

Applications and Use-Cases

Engineered for high-reliability consumer and commercial electronics, this board-mount phono receptacle is ideal for digital-to-analog converters (DACs), studio preamplifiers, multi-channel home theater receivers, modular synthesizers, and audio routing matrix switchers. Its rigid pin alignment and integrated mechanical grounding lugs make it equally suitable for automated volume production and precision DIY audio projects requiring dependable interconnect performance.
