• Material: Plastic Housing, Gold-Plated Metal Contacts

Before You Buy:

• Confirm Compatibility: Double-check the number of poles (2, 3, or 4) on your existing audio device and ensure it matches the pole configuration of the connector you choose. Mismatched pole counts won’t transmit all audio channels correctly.
• Mono vs. Stereo: Consider whether you need mono (2-pole) or stereo (3-pole) functionality based on your application.

General Use:

• Screw Tightness: Ensure the screw terminals are tightened securely to create a solid connection and prevent electrical shorts or audio dropouts.
• Wire Gauge: When using screw terminals, select wires with an appropriate gauge (thickness) for the amount of current they will carry. Refer to a wire gauge chart for guidance if needed.
• Strain Relief: For applications where the cable will experience movement or tension, consider adding strain relief to prevent damage to the connection point.

Note:

• Not Ideal for Video: While some 4-pole versions might carry a composite video signal, it’s not their primary function. For dedicated video connections, use HDMI, RCA, or BNC connectors.
• Overtightening: Avoid overtightening the screws on the screw terminals as this can damage the threads or the wires.
