RCA Socket Female Jack Video Connector 1 Port 3 Pin for PCB (Straight) Red
The RCA socket female jack offers a compact, elegant means to connect video or composite signals via standard RCA plugs on a printed circuit board (PCB). Its red coloring designates one of the conventional connection channels (often right audio or a video signal line). This straight, through-hole mount connector protrudes minimally from the board, preserving a clean finish while enabling a solid mechanical interface for coaxial cable plugs.
Internally, the jack accepts the male RCA plug’s center pin and encases it with a metal shell that contacts the plug’s ground ring. When a plug is inserted, the contact surfaces mate securely with slight spring pressure, ensuring signal continuity and grounding. The housing is typically molded in plastic or insulating material, with the red ring or collar for visual identification of the channel it represents.
This connector is ideal for embedding on video interface boards, analog input/output modules, or AV equipment front/rear panels. Because of its straightforward mechanical design, it provides users with reliable plug/draw cycles while maintaining signal fidelity. On the board, the three pins (signal, ground, and mechanical support) anchor the connector firmly, resisting stress from frequent plugging and unplugging. The overall form combines durability with minimal footprint, making it a staple in audio/video electronics throughout consumer and industrial devices.
Features:
- Straight, through-hole PCB mounting style.
