Audio Connectors

A comprehensive offering of audio jacks and sockets suitable for many audio applications.

RS PRO 4 Pole Composite Jack Plug

From RS PRO, this insulated 4 pole jack plug is suitable for audio and video purposes. 4 Pole jacks are used in audiovisual applications such as connecting peripherals to television monitors, such as when you are connecting a camcorder or DVD player. They are also capable of carrying a mic channel, and so are frequently used in headsets. As such, they have wide uses in both professional and domestic environments.

The connector features a moulded strain relief that prevents wear-and-tear on the connector caused by tugging and bending of the connecting wire. Its ergonomic hexagonal shape makes it easy to handle, which is an advantage when plugging and unplugging from difficult to reach places.

The nickel silver jack plug connector is suitable for high-quality applications.

Features and Benefits

Q: Are 1/8" mini jacks compatible with 1/4" standard jacks?
