Full details
The REAN NYS373-0 phono plug is designed for audio professionals and enthusiasts seeking a reliable and durable connector for their audio cables. Its key benefit lies in its robust construction with gold-plated contacts for optimal signal integrity and a secure connection. A potential consideration is that the rated current and contact resistance are dependent on the mated connector, requiring careful pairing for specific applications.

FAQs
What type of connector is the REAN NYS373-0?
The REAN NYS373-0 is an RCA (M) phono plug.
What cable outer diameters does the strain relief support?
The chuck type strain relief is suitable for cable outer diameters ranging from 3.5mm to 6.1mm.
What are the contacts made of?
The connector features gold-plated brass contacts.
Does this plug require soldering?
Yes, this is a solder-type connector and requires soldering to attach to a cable.
What is the color of the connector shell and coding ring?
The connector has a black plated metal shell and a black color coding ring.
What is the operating temperature range?
The plug operates within a temperature range of -25°C to 70°C.
How many mating cycles is the connector rated for?
The plug is designed for 1000 mating cycles.
Troubleshooting
No audio signal after connection
Verify that the center pin and ground shield are correctly soldered to the corresponding contacts on the plug and cable. Check that the cable is within the specified diameter range for the strain relief and that the strain relief is properly secured. Ensure the RCA female connector on the receiving device is clean and functional.
Intermittent audio or crackling sound
Inspect the solder joints for cold joints or bridges. Ensure the gold-plated contacts are clean and free from debris. Check the integrity of the cable itself for any internal breaks.
Cable pulling out of the connector
Ensure the chuck type strain relief is tightened securely around the cable's outer jacket. If the cable diameter is too small, the strain relief may not grip effectively. Consider using a thicker cable or an adapter if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable construction with a metal shell and robust strain relief.
- Gold-plated contacts ensure high-quality signal transmission.
- Designed for a wide range of cable sizes.
- Professional aesthetic with black finish and color coding.
- High mating cycle rating for extended product life.
Cons
- Rated current and contact resistance are dependent on the mated connector.
- Requires soldering for connection, which may not be suitable for all users.
- Specific cable outer diameter range for strain relief needs to be considered.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is an RCA (M) connector designed for soldering. Prepare your cable by stripping the outer jacket and individual conductor insulation. Solder the center conductor to the corresponding pin and the shield to the ground terminal. Ensure a clean solder joint. Secure the strain relief mechanism onto the cable jacket after soldering.
Compatibility: The plug is compatible with RCA female sockets. The strain relief is designed for cables with outer diameters between 3.5mm and 6.1mm. Always ensure your cable falls within this range for optimal strain relief.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the connector contacts clean. Avoid exposing the plug to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals. Periodically check the strain relief and solder joints for integrity, especially if the cable is subjected to frequent movement.
