ShiverPeaks S/CONN Cinch connector metal 6 mm, yellow (model 52001-Y)

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN Cinch connector metal 6 mm, yellow is a metal-housed RCA (Cinch) termination intended for audio and video cabling where a durable connector body and clear color coding are required. It accepts a 6 mm cable end and provides a standard RCA interface for connection to RCA jacks on consumer and professional equipment. The metal construction increases mechanical robustness and shielding compared with plastic-bodied terminals while the yellow color offers immediate visual identification for signal routing and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The metal housing provides enhanced durability and mechanical stability for repeated insertion and cable movement. Standard RCA termination ensures compatibility with a wide range of audio and video devices. The yellow color coding improves workflow by making signal paths easy to trace during installation and troubleshooting. The connector is suitable for both assembly of new RCA leads and replacement of worn or damaged terminations.

Suitable for

• Repairing or replacing RCA terminations on AV cables
• Assembling custom RCA leads with a 6 mm cable outer diameter
• Color-coded signal routing in multi-connector systems
• Installations requiring more robust metal-bodied connectors

Key specifications

• Connector type: RCA (Cinch) male termination
• Body material: metal housing for improved durability
• Cable outer diameter compatibility: 6 mm
• Color: yellow for visual identification
• Contact finish: standard RCA contact suitable for audio/video signals

How to use

Strip the cable to the recommended lengths for core and shield, ensuring the outer jacket at approximately 6 mm diameter fits the connector body. Solder or crimp the center conductor to the RCA pin and attach the shield to the outer contact according to the connector’s assembly instructions. Slide the metal housing over the termination and secure any fastening mechanism provided to ensure mechanical strain relief and good electrical contact. Verify the assembled lead on compatible RCA equipment to confirm correct signal continuity and polarity.

Recommendations

Use this metal Cinch connector in installations where mechanical robustness and clear color coding are important. When soldering, use appropriate ventilation and a correctly sized soldering iron; verify strain relief is correctly fitted to prevent cable fatigue. For optimal signal integrity, ensure correct shield termination and avoid excessive bending near the connector.
