Product Information
Full details
The REAN RP3RC-BAG is a professional-grade 6.35mm (1/4") stereo jack plug designed for musicians, audio engineers, and DIY cable technicians who prioritize reliability and a low-profile aesthetic. Its primary benefit is the 90-degree angular orientation, which is essential for saving space on pedalboards and keeping cables flush against equipment, though users should note that the assembly requires precise soldering skills to ensure a secure connection.

FAQs
Is this a mono or stereo plug?
This is a stereo (TRS) plug, featuring Tip, Ring, and Sleeve connections.
Can I use this for instrument cables?
Yes, it is compatible with instrument cables, though it is specifically a stereo jack, which is standard for balanced signals or stereo output devices.
Does it require special tools to assemble?
Yes, you will need a soldering iron, solder, and a wire stripper to complete the connection.
What is the maximum cable diameter this can accept?
The chuck strain relief is designed to accommodate standard professional audio cables typically ranging from 4mm to 7mm in diameter.
Is the housing metal or plastic?
The housing is made of durable material consistent with the REAN professional series, designed for rugged use.
Troubleshooting
Intermittent audio signal
Check the solder joints for cold joints or loose wires; ensure the cable is fully seated in the strain relief.
Cable pulls out of the connector
Verify that the chuck strain relief is properly tightened and correctly positioned inside the housing to grip the outer jacket of the cable.
Hum or buzzing in the signal
Inspect for accidental shorts where the hot signal wire might be touching the ground or sleeve terminal.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Right-angle design is ideal for space-constrained pedalboards
- Reliable chuck-type strain relief prevents cable pull-out
- Durable housing suitable for frequent stage use
- High-quality solder contacts ensure signal integrity
Cons
- Requires soldering experience for proper assembly
- Not suitable for high-frequency connection/disconnection cycles compared to molded cables
- Non-detachable housing once fully assembled
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard soldering iron, high-quality audio cable, and wire strippers. First, slide the housing and the chuck strain relief over your cable before stripping the insulation. Tin the wires and the contact points on the jack. Solder the Tip, Ring, and Sleeve wires to their respective terminals, ensuring no stray strands cause a short. Slide the chuck into the housing, then screw the cap on firmly. For care, keep the contacts clean by occasionally using an electronics-grade contact cleaner if the connection becomes intermittent after heavy use. Avoid subjecting the connector to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures, which could degrade the internal solder points over time.
