A Strong Seal for Surety and Permanence in an Industry Classic
RCA Connectors |
RCA Compression Connectors are by far the most common small audio or video connector used on consumer audio/video equipment. |
- These connectors are weatherproof so you can use them in areas that may not always be safe from water and weather damage
- The RCA Compression Connector utilizes captive, self-energizing center contact which has a gold plated center contact and the body of the connector has a bright nickel finish over solid brass
- These connectors terminate easily with the GEM-GET-CS Compression Tool
- For quick wire prep, use the GEM-CST-1 wire stripper
- One year manufacturer warranty
These connectors from Gem Electronics consist of a pin (male) plug and female jack. They use 2 coaxial cables and are nickel-plated which provides a durable connection for harsh environments. Compression seal adds moisture protection to the connector for a professional type connection every time.

RCA CONNECTOR COMPRESSION SEAL PROCEDURE FOR RG59 AND RG6 TYPE CABLES -
| 1. Trim cable as shown using strip tool P/N GST-1. Trim center conductor end at 45-degree angle. |
|
| 2. Fold braid back. *Note: For quad shield cable cut off first foil and fold back second braid. 3. Mark cable as shown. |
|
| 4. Push connector onto cable twisting connector clockwise and counter clockwise until connector end meets or passes mark on cable. |
|
| 5. Make sure “RCA” die head is in crimp tool P/N GST-CS. 6. Nest cable and connector into crimp tool. *Note: For right angle and female connectors use no die head. |
|
| 7. Squeeze handle. Crimp tool is ratcheted and will release when compression is completed. |
|
| 8. Remove connector and cable from tool and give a pull (30 lbs) to assure proper termination. |
