Mono 2.5 mm Plug ShiverPeaks 22220519 with Plastic Housing

ShiverPeaks Mono 2.5 mm Plug 22220519 with Plastic Housing is a compact audio connector intended for mono signal transmission. It is designed for cable repair and assembly, suitable for instruments, headphones or single-channel devices where a slim, two-contact 2.5 mm plug and a lightweight plastic enclosure are required. The connector provides a simple, space-saving termination option for analog audio paths and small-format equipment.

Advantages

This 2.5 mm mono plug features a low-profile plastic housing that reduces weight and bulk while protecting the soldered joint from mechanical stress. The two-contact design delivers a reliable mono connection for signal integrity in repair and assembly tasks. Its compact size makes it practical for tight installations and portable devices, and the standardized 2.5 mm diameter ensures compatibility with equipment using mono phone jacks of the same size.

Suitable for

• Repairing or re-terminating audio cables for mono connections
• Connecting single-channel headphones or earphones
• Wiring instruments or stage equipment that use 2.5 mm mono plugs
• DIY audio projects and custom cable assemblies
• Small electronics and portable audio devices with a 2.5 mm mono jack

Key specifications

• Connector type: mono (two-contact) 2.5 mm phone plug
• Housing material: plastic (lightweight, insulating)
• Contact configuration: tip and sleeve for single-channel audio
• Form factor: compact, low-profile plug suitable for confined spaces
• Intended application: analog mono audio signal transmission and cable terminations

How to use

Strip the cable jacket and expose the conductor(s) to the length recommended for the plug's solder terminals. Tin the exposed conductor and the solder points on the plug to improve the solder joint quality. Insert the conductor into the appropriate contact (tip for signal, sleeve for ground) and solder securely while avoiding excess heat to protect the plastic housing. After the solder joints cool, fit the plastic housing over the assembly and secure any fastening mechanism provided by the housing to complete the termination.

Recommendations

Use a temperature-controlled soldering iron and appropriate solder for audio cables; avoid prolonged heating of the plastic housing. Choose cable sizes that match the plug's terminal capacity and test the connection with a tone generator or continuity tester before final installation.
