Finding good quality and affordable RCA plugs are not easy. My experienced search for high quality from a reputable brand will cost much, while non-branded RCA will cost for the quality.
This is Amphenol ACPR-SBK for red color and ACPR-SRD for black color. Amphenol itself is an Australia brand with wide-range of connector product. This one is RCA plug, looking good and promising.
Let's check it out.
This RCA plug is affordable. I bought it for US$2 each. This RCA plug is gold plated only at the connector side with the body shell is made by alumunium.
The finished material is very good although I think the design and shape is subjective which I think it is too long and hard to grip on my hand.
The connector material is not too thick, looks cheap. But at this price range, I should accept it anyway.
The unique of this Amphenol connector is using rubber at the cable insert. This rubber can expand and fit based on the size of the cables put in. I check various of cable diameter which the rubber can hold up to 6 mm of cable diameter.
One of the plus point of this Amphenol connector: they are easy to solder.
I have bad experience when using no-brand cheap RCA plugs. The plugs are hard to plug-in into the female RCA. Then when I remove it, the grounding on the female RCA socket pull out and stay on the male grounding RCA connector. This cause the unit that connect to the male RCA broken.
Scary isn't it!
But thankfully this is not the case with this Amphenol plugs.
So, in my opinion, this is a good RCA plugs. Especially when talking to the price, it is the best value for RCA plugs.
