ShiverPeaks BS57016 Wire Connector 3.5 mm Black Male/Female

The ShiverPeaks BS57016 Wire Connector 3.5 mm Black Male/Female is a compact audio connector designed for joining or extending 3.5 mm audio cables. Finished in black, it provides a male-to-female connection interface that is compatible with standard 3.5 mm plugs used in headphones, portable audio players, speakers and many consumer audio devices. The connector is intended to deliver a straightforward mechanical and electrical link between two cable ends where a short extension or coupling is required.

Advantages

This 3.5 mm wire connector offers a simple and space-efficient solution for connecting audio cables without tools. Its male/female configuration enables quick coupling and decoupling of devices and cables. The black finish reduces visual distraction in installations and helps match common audio cable colours. The connector’s form factor supports reliable mechanical contact for typical consumer audio signals.

Suitable for

• Extending headphone cables and in-line audio leads
• Joining audio cables in temporary or semi-permanent setups
• Connecting portable audio players, speakers, car audio adapters, and similar devices
• DIY audio projects and field patching where a compact 3.5 mm joiner is required

Key specifications

• Connector size: 3.5 mm standard audio
• Configuration: male to female coupling
• Colour: black
• Application: analog stereo audio connections
• Form factor: compact inline coupler

How to use

To use the connector, insert the male 3.5 mm plug of one cable into the female end of the coupler and then insert the female plug of the other cable’s male end into the male side of the coupler. Ensure both plugs are fully seated to achieve a solid electrical and mechanical connection. For best results, connect and disconnect by holding the connector body rather than pulling on cable insulation to avoid strain on the cable terminations.

Recommendations

Use the connector in dry, indoor environments and avoid exposure to moisture, excessive heat or mechanical stress. For critical audio applications, verify compatibility with cable shielding and grounding requirements and inspect connections periodically for wear or intermittent contact.
