Stereo Plug ShiverPeaks 6.3 mm 3‑pole with Plastic Housing, model 22220503

ShiverPeaks 6.3 mm 3‑pole stereo plug model 22220503 is a compact audio connector designed for terminating and repairing instrument and audio leads. The connector uses a standard 6.3 mm (1/4") tip‑ring‑sleeve configuration, enabling stereo signal transmission or balanced connection wiring in a single plug form factor. Its plastic housing keeps the assembly lightweight while protecting soldered joints and cable strain relief for reliable performance in patching, instrument cables, and amplifier connections.

Advantages

The plastic housing offers impact resistance and reduces overall weight compared with all‑metal housings, making the connector easier to handle during cable routing and installation. The 3‑pole tip‑ring‑sleeve wiring supports stereo or balanced signals, providing versatility for guitars, keyboards, mixers and line‑level equipment. The compact footprint is suitable for confined spaces and helps maintain tidy cable runs while offering standard mechanical compatibility with 6.3 mm jacks.

Suitable for

• Instrument cables for guitars, keyboards and electronic instruments
• Patch leads and studio signal routing
• Connection to amplifiers, mixers and audio interfaces
• Repair and termination of existing 6.3 mm stereo cables

Key specifications

• Connector type: 6.3 mm (1/4") stereo plug, 3‑pole (tip‑ring‑sleeve)
• Housing material: durable plastic
• Intended wiring: tip‑ring‑sleeve for stereo or balanced wiring
• Use case: cable termination and repair for audio equipment
• Physical features: compact, lightweight design with strain relief

How to use

Strip the cable jacket and separate conductors according to the tip‑ring‑sleeve wiring required for your application. Solder the tip, ring and sleeve conductors to the corresponding terminals inside the plug following polarity and shielding practices. Refit the housing and ensure the strain relief clamps the cable to prevent movement of solder joints. Verify continuity and correct channel wiring with a multimeter or audio test before putting the cable into regular use.

Recommendations

For reliable long‑term performance, use correct wire gauge and maintain solid solder joints; avoid excessive bending at the connector and secure cables with clamps or cable ties where possible. Choose this 6.3 mm stereo plug for standard audio terminations where a lightweight, plastic‑housed connector is acceptable and mechanical loads are moderate.
