Switchcraft 228 Mono Pancake Jack Plug Connector Angled

Switchcraft 228 Pancake ¼” Jack

Mono 6.35mm Jack Connector, 2 pole, Male, Nickel Contacts, Nickel plated steel housing.

These are "Chassis-hugging" plugs for situations where space is at a premium. They are made from solid steel, not flimsy metal like cheaper versions, and once inserted into the socket sit 12mm out, compared with 25mm of an angled Neutrik NP2RX. This allows pedals to be placed side by side or saves space at the back of racks.

A superior product from Switchcraft.The 2 conductor right-angle audio phone plugs are designed for OEMs and users of commercial phone plugs. The plugs offer large terminals for easy wiring with only two pieces to assemble. The insulator and finger/housing assembly offer rugged reliability for stable, long-term, trouble-free operation. Ideal for tight pedal boards.

The Nickel Contacts are made from a copper alloy and plated with nickel. They offer sound durability and conductivity

2 Pole relates to the amount of carrier signals inside the cable/connector assembly, in this case two. The first carrier signal is the information signal and the second is the ground. This can be used to create an unbalanced or mono cable, making it ideal for use with guitars and instruments. It can still be used in balanced sockets but the benefits of balanced audio will not be achieved
