Description

The Mercury 2-pin multi-pin socket is a female panel-mount connector with solder terminals, a cable strain relief collar and a threaded locking ring. It accepts a matching 2-pin male multi-pin plug and provides a secure, lockable connection for low-voltage signal or power runs in AV, lighting control and portable equipment rigs.

Designed for custom cable assembly rather than plug-and-play use, the socket requires soldering the cable cores to the two internal terminals before fitting the strain relief collar and outer housing. The locking ring threads onto the mating plug to prevent accidental disconnection during setup, transport or operation. The socket is typically panel-mounted in equipment cases, speaker cabinets, lighting control desks or distribution boxes where a fixed socket is needed for repeated plug-in cable connections.

The metal body and threaded locking mechanism give the connector durability in portable rigs where connectors are plugged and unplugged frequently. The 2-pin configuration suits speaker runs, DC power feeds, or simple control signals where only two conductors are needed. The socket pairs with Mercury 2-pin plugs sold separately, allowing technicians to build matched cable sets for specific rig requirements.

Frequently Asked

What cable gauge does it accept?

The strain relief collar typically accommodates cable outer diameters between 4mm and 8mm, but the exact range depends on the cable jacket material. Check the fit before final assembly.

Is soldering required?

Yes. The socket has two internal solder terminals. Cable cores must be soldered to these terminals before the housing is closed. This is not a screw-terminal or crimp connector.

Does it carry a current rating?

Mercury multi-pin sockets are typically rated for low-voltage signal or control use rather than high-current power. For specific current and voltage ratings, refer to the manufacturer datasheet or contact us before specifying for a high-current application.

What's the locking ring for?

The threaded locking ring screws onto the mating plug to prevent the plug from being pulled out accidentally during transport or operation. This is common in portable AV and lighting rigs where cables are under tension or subject to movement.

Shipping & Returns

Free worldwide delivery

Free worldwide delivery on all orders over £99. International orders for third-party brand products may be subject to an additional courier surcharge based on volumetric weight, particularly on larger lighting fixtures — if a surcharge applies, our team will email you with the amount before dispatch and you can proceed or cancel for a full refund. See full delivery terms.

Returns

30-day returns window from delivery. As all our products are electrical or lighting goods, returned items must be inspected and recertified by a qualified electrician before resale — the cost of this inspection (25–40% of the item value) is deducted from your refund.
