Description

The REAN NYS231BG 3.5 mm stereo jack plug combines gold-plated contacts with a black metal shell and a sturdy crimp strain relief, exactly what you want for cables that get plugged in and out every day.

Features

The gold-plated contacts keep signal transfer reliable and corrosion-free, even after years of use. The crimp strain relief clamps the cable jacket, so your solder joints never take the pulling force. Thanks to the generous solder terminals, you work smoothly even if soldering isn't your everyday routine. REAN is also a brand of the Neutrik group, so you know the quality stays consistent from connector to connector.

Key features

  • Gold-plated contacts: reliable contact without corrosion or crackling signals
  • Crimp strain relief that clamps the cable and protects your soldering
  • Oversized solder terminals for fast, clean soldering
  • Knurled black metal shell: good grip and a discreet look
  • More than 5,000 mating cycles, built for intensive use
  • Metal housing that shields the signal from interference

FAQ

What cable thickness fits this connector?

The standard cable outlet accepts cables up to 4.5 mm outer diameter according to the manufacturer. For thicker cables, the NYS231 series offers variants with a larger cable outlet.

Do I need to solder this, or is it a screw connector?

Solder. The generous solder terminals make that easy work, and the crimp strain relief ensures no pulling force reaches your solder points afterward.

What's the difference with the regular NYS231?

The NYS231BG has gold-plated contacts and a black-finished metal shell. Technically and in size, it's otherwise identical to the standard version.

Can I also use this plug for balanced mono?

Yes. It's a 3-pole TRS connector, so wiring it as stereo unbalanced or mono balanced both work perfectly.
