Deluxe Right Angle Gold Plated Quarter Inch Jack Mono Plug
This gold-plated right angle 1/4" jack mono plug is supplied with a gold flashed cable strain relief and will accept cables up to 8mm in diameter. The gold plate makes it highly conductive and resistant to oxidation and corrosion. The cable strain relief measures 25mm long, the mono plug tip is 30mm long, the shell (body) measures 38mm long, and the right angle join is 11mm thick. Once fully assembled, the whole quarter inch jack mono plug is roughly 50mm from the right angle joint to the spring.
Why Use a Gold-Plated 1/4" Mono Plug?
- The concentration of free electrons in gold metal is 5.90 x 1022 cm-3. Gold is highly conductive to electricity, and it's been used for electrical wiring in some high-energy applications.
- Though gold is attacked by free chlorine, its good conductivity and general resistance to oxidation and corrosion in other environments (including resistance to non-chlorinated acids) has led to its widespread industrial use in the electronic era as a thin layer coating over electrical connectors of all kinds, thereby ensuring good connection. For example, gold is used in the connectors of more expensive electronics cables, such as audio, video and USB cables. The use of gold in other applications in electronic sliding contacts in highly humid or corrosive atmospheres, and in use for contacts with a very high failure cost (certain computers, communications equipment, spacecraft, jet aircraft engines) remains very common, and is unlikely to be replaced in the near future by any other metal.
- Besides sliding electrical contacts, gold is also used in electrical contacts because of its resistance to corrosion, electrical conductivity, ductility and lack of toxicity. Switch contacts are generally subjected to more intense corrosion stress than are sliding contacts.
- Fine gold wires are used to connect semiconductor devices to their packages through a process known as wire bonding.
