FAQs
What is the benefit of gold plating?
Gold plating provides superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring a better signal transfer and longer lifespan.
What tools are required to use these plugs?
You will need a wire stripper and either a crimping tool or soldering equipment.
What is the maximum cable size these plugs can accommodate?
The maximum outer diameter (OD) for the cable entry is 5mm.
Are these plugs suitable for high-power applications?
Yes, these plugs are suitable for most common audio and low-voltage applications. Always ensure the wire gauge is appropriate for the power requirements.
