It uses twin modular screw terminals, so you just strip the cable ends, feed them in and tighten. That makes it a handy choice for quick wiring jobs, repairs and DIY audio setups where you want a solid connection in a hurry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RCA phono connector (sometimes called a cinch connector in some regions) is one of the most common formats for line-level audio, so this socket works with the leads and gear you probably already own. It handles a maximum current of 5A and up to 24V DC, which suits standard consumer audio signal and low-voltage speaker use. At 13 x 14 x 34mm and just 6g, it stays compact enough to fit neatly behind panels or inside enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the terminals are solder free, you can wire it up on the bench or in the field with nothing more than a small screwdriver and a wire stripper. That saves time and keeps things tidy, and it also means you can undo and re-terminate the connection later if you change your cable run. For anyone after a cheap, reliable socket to join speaker cable to their kit, this Mercury unit does the job without any fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax. current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24Vdc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13mm x 14mm x 34mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.01KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to solder this socket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It uses twin modular screw-in terminals, so you strip the cable, insert it and tighten the screws.
