Wire connector RCA Red ShiverPeaks BS51500-R

The ShiverPeaks BS51500-R is a female RCA wire connector in red designed for reliable audio and video connections. Sold individually, this compact connector enables straightforward termination of RCA cables for consumer and professional electronics. Its colour coding simplifies identification in multi-connector assemblies, while the construction supports stable signal transfer for line-level audio and composite video applications.

Advantages

The connector offers a durable metal barrel and an insulated housing that provides mechanical stability and reduces contact wear during repeated insertions. Red colour coding improves installation speed and reduces wiring errors in systems with multiple RCA connections. The female RCA format ensures compatibility with standard male RCA plugs and common cable types used in audio and video equipment.

Suitable for

• Repairing or replacing a worn RCA socket on audio/video devices
• Custom cable assemblies for stereo audio systems
• Connecting composite video in consumer electronics projects
• Prototyping and hobby electronics requiring colour-coded connectors

Key specifications

• Connector type: Female RCA (phono) connector
• Colour: Red for easy identification
• Application: Line-level audio and composite video
• Mounting style: Inline wire termination (sold individually)
• Compatibility: Standard male RCA plugs and typical coaxial or shielded audio/video cables

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket and separating the centre conductor from the shield. Insert and secure the conductors according to the connector's wire termination method, ensuring the centre contact and outer shield are properly seated to maintain signal integrity. After assembly, check mechanical stability and test the connection with the intended audio or video source and receiver to confirm correct operation.

Recommendations

For best results, use this connector with properly sized audio/video cable and avoid excessive bending or stress at the termination point. Colour-code and label multiple connections to prevent miswiring in complex systems. Periodic inspection and cleaning of contacts can help maintain reliable signal transmission.
