Different combinations of RCA thread lengths and mounting nut thicknesses will accommodate most mounting plates

Short threads/thick nut = 0.0" to .082"
Short threads/thin nut = .079" to .142"
Long threads/thick nut = .142" to .350"
Long threads/thin nut = .350" to .400"
An additional .037" can be gained by removing the internal washer, grounding the connector.

Eichmann Connectors

 

Eichmann Copper Bullets

The Bullet Plug® connector solves the problems of standard and audiophile grade RCA plugs by providing a faster, cleaner signal of high purity and detail.

To achieve this Eichmann ha designed the Bullet Plug® as a miniature cable - with high-conductive, gold-plated tellurium copper (CuTe) pins providing a rapid transfer of electrons to/from RCA sockets.

In Their patent-pending design, the return pin of the Bullet Plug® makes single point contact with the side wall of an RCA socket - concentrating electrons to one point thereby reducing distortion. This is a similar approach to “star earthing” used in amplifiers.

$69.00 $62 Box Set

Eichmann Silver Bullets

The contact pins are machined from hard drawn 4-nines pure silver rod, and then treated with Caig Preservit 5PL - which leaves a microscopic protective coating to prevent oxidation and enhance conductivity.

Sound quality is in the highest league, with subtle but significant improvements over the standard tellurium copper plug.

Ideal for silver interconnects and any high performance cable. 2 year warranty

$155.00  $139.50 Box Set

The ETI BulletPlug® represents a radical departure from conventional RCA designs. The ETI BulletPlug® is a minimalist design for maximum performance. Thickness, mass, materials, and contact surface area have been optimized to maintain signal integrity better than any RCA connector on the market.

Most audio/video cables are made from highly conductive annealed Copper or Silver wires — terminated with low-conductive, nickel and gold-plated brass RCA plugs. Annealed copper has a conductivity rating of at least 100% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard). Brass has a conductivity rating of 28% IACS.

Specifically the traditional return/ground collar impairs electron flow through:
Eddy current distortion — as electrons proceed to and from the RCA socket into the collar through multiple contact points the equivalent of electron turbulence occurs.

Signal degradation results
Capacitive distortion — where gaps exist between the socket and collar.
Micro-arcing distortion — an electrical short that can occur where gaps exist between the socket and collar.
RCA plugs are coaxial designs (metal return/ground surrounding signal pin) where an impedance effect is naturally occurring. Impedance has a varied and adverse impact on performance.
The ETI BulletPlug® solves this with a return pin that makes single point contact with the side wall of an RCA socket — concentrating electrons to one point thereby reducing distortion. In our patented design, This is a similar approach to “star earthing (grounding)” used in amplifiers.

For ultra conductivity ETI also offers the BulletPlug® in pure silver. Utilizing the same patented RCA blueprint, the Silver ETI BulletPlug® provides enhanced conductivity for what is arguably the absolute best level of performance available.
The quality of the RCA plug can have a disproportionate effect on the final performance of the system. This is easy to understand when two points are taken into consideration.
1. The delicate nature of the tiny millivolt-level signals flowing through a system’s interconnect, digital, and video cables
2. The number of times these signals cumulatively travel through RCA connectors (usually low-conductive ones) en-route to their destination

SPECIFICATIONS:
Conductors: Tellurium Copper or Pure 4N Silver
Construction: High strength, temperature resistant, electrically inert polymer over-moulds and injection molded parts
Impedance: determined by the cable
Housings: ABS polymer (ID 9.25mm, total length 37.5mm) or Aluminum (ID 9.25mm, 44mm, colors: black, gold or silver)

 

WBT Connectors

 

 

Nextgen - 0102Ag

Contacts utilize passivated pure fine silver. The body is constructed with brass and then platinum plated to give a nice asthetic appeal. The central contact assembly is made of Ultramid® and the negative contact uses Dyneon™. The barrel is comprised of brass with a shiny black piano lacquer finish. A characteristic impedance of 75 ohms makes this a perfect match for digital audio and video. The maximum size conductor that can be used is 1.5mm² / 16-17 AWG. Maximum diameter of cable with dielectric is 9mm² / 0.354 inches². The barrel is offered in black only.

$170.00 per pair

WBT - 0110Cu

Passivated pure Oxygen Free Copper and plated with a thin layer of 24k Gold to provide protection from oxidation. The body is constructed of Ultramid®, while the negative contact uses Dyneon™. The Barrel is comprised of Al/Mg alloy for improved rejection of EMI. With a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms, the WBT-0110 makes the perfect match for digital audio and video. The maximum size conductor that can be used is 1.5mm² / 16-17 AWG. Maximum diameter of cable with dielectric is 9mm² / 0.354 inches². Connector body available in nine different colors for multichannel identification. The barrel is offered in cobalt blue only.

$70.00 per pair

WBT Midline 0144

Unique plating process with final plating of 24k Gold. Patented WBT™ barrel provides both adjustment and locking function. The barrel finished in matte black, lower yet efficient machining tolerances and lesser percentage oxygen free copper alloy stock than the Topline WBT connectors. The largest diameter cable that can be accepted by this RCA type connector is 9mm² / 0.354 inches.

$65.00 per pair

 WBT Midline 0147

While being a compact version of the WBT-0144, shorter and thinner, this connector works well with smaller diameter cables. With a maximum cable diameter of 7.8mm² / 0.307 inches², this is the smallest RCA type plug manufactured by WBT

$65.00 per pair

Neutrik Connectors

 

ProFi  NF2C-B/2

Spring loaded ground contact: retractable element with separate wedge contacts which keeps the shell in the front position when engaged thus also providing a direct and strictly coaxial electrical connection from the socket via the shell to the cable shield.
