FAQs

What does 'right-angle' mean for this jack?

A right-angle jack bends at a 90-degree angle from the cable, making it suitable for tight spaces or when you want cables to run neatly along walls or equipment.

Do I need special tools to install this jack?

Yes, you will need a soldering iron, solder, wire strippers, and potentially a multimeter for testing connections.

Can I use this for mono audio?

This is a stereo jack (Tip, Ring, Sleeve). While you could technically wire it for mono (Tip, Sleeve), it is designed and optimized for stereo signals.

What kind of cable should I use with this connector?

Use a shielded, two-conductor audio cable designed for stereo applications. Ensure the cable's diameter is compatible with the jack's strain relief.

How durable are Rean connectors?

Rean connectors are known for their robust construction and reliability, making them a popular choice in professional audio applications.

What is the main advantage of solder terminals?

Solder terminals provide a strong, permanent, and highly conductive connection compared to crimp or screw terminals, ensuring optimal signal transfer and longevity.

Troubleshooting

No audio output after soldering

Double-check your solder connections for continuity and ensure the correct wires (tip, ring, sleeve) are connected to the corresponding terminals. Verify that the cable itself is not damaged.

Intermittent audio or crackling sound

Re-inspect solder joints for cold joints or bridges between terminals. Ensure the cable's internal wires are securely attached and not frayed.

Jack housing does not fit cable securely

Ensure the cable's outer diameter is within the specified range for the jack's strain relief. Some thicker cables may require a different connector type.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High-quality audio signal integrity due to Rean connectors.
Space-saving right-angle design is excellent for tight installations.
Secure and reliable connections achieved through solder terminals.
Allows for the creation of custom-length audio cables.
Durable construction suitable for professional audio environments.

Cons

Requires soldering skills for installation.
Not suitable for users who prefer plug-and-play solutions.
Can be more time-consuming to install than pre-made cables.
Only suitable for stereo audio applications requiring a 6.35mm connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Prepare Cable: Strip the outer jacket of your audio cable and separate the internal wires (typically signal, ground, and possibly a shield).
Tin Wires: Tin the ends of the individual wires with a small amount of solder.
Tin Terminals: Apply a small amount of solder to each of the solder terminals on the jack.
Solder Connections: Carefully solder the prepared wires to their corresponding terminals on the jack (refer to standard stereo jack wiring diagrams for signal and ground). Ensure clean solder joints.
Assemble Plug: Secure the plug housing over the soldered connections.

Compatibility:

This jack is designed for 6.35mm (1/4 inch) stereo audio signals.
It is compatible with cables featuring appropriate internal wiring for stereo audio (e.g., Tip, Ring, Sleeve).
Ensure the cable's outer diameter fits within the strain relief mechanism of the jack housing.

Care:

Avoid exposing the connector to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.
Periodically inspect solder joints for integrity, especially if the cable is frequently moved.
Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
