WBT-0201 RCA Sockets, Set of 2

WBT has continued to produce connectors specifically for the high-end audio industry over the last 20+ years. The product line has expanded from the first RCA type plug to include male and female RCA type connectors, binding posts, banana plugs and spade lugs with functionally unique features that truly elevate them to the top. WBT products are very popular with audio cable and equipment manufacturers worldwide and can be found as standard equipment on many well respected brands.

The WBT range of audio connectors are well proven to offer superb sound quality when connected to even the most basic cables; step up the cable quality and the results can be astounding.

In stock at Mains Cables R Us, this Topline RCA socket from WBT is primarily designed for chassis mounting. The outer contact is made of a special copper alloy and is 24 carat nickel-free gold-plated; not only ensuring excellent conductivity but also preventing oxidation, which could impair the contact quality.

The inner contact is made of pure, highly conductive electrolyte copper and is also gold-plated. This contact is designed in the form of an active spring contact, so that the double prism contact surfaces are pressed onto the central pin of the RCA plug by a surrounding bronze spring ring. Not only does this ensure reliable contact with non-standardised RCA plugs but contact also remains reliable even after the plug has been connected and disconnected many times over.

When WBT RCA plugs are used, the contacts are positioned in such a way that the outer conductor is in contact before the inner conductor, thereby preventing undesirable or even harmful voltage peaks.

The insulation inside the socket is made of heat-resistant Teflon* – an advantage when the connecting cables are soldered, even with the higher soldering temperature of lead-free solder (see also solder connection).

Mounting insulators are supplied and ensure not only insulated, but also twist-proof mounting and polarity identification. Counter nuts and double-step washers with lug are also supplied.
