This catalog entry from Amphenol Australia Pty Ltd details 1/4" phone plugs, designed for entertainment interconnect applications. These connectors are available in 2-pole (mono) and 3-pole (stereo) configurations, featuring robust construction with various material options for shells, insulators, and backshells. They offer reliable electrical characteristics such as high insulation resistance and dielectric withstand voltage, along with good mechanical performance including cable retention force and insertion/withdrawal forces. Environmental compliance with EU RoHS 2 Directive and flammability rating of UL94V-0 are noted. Suitable for a range of cable diameters, these plugs are engineered for durability and performance in audio and related applications.
