Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a plug, in particular to an RCA audio plug. Background Art

[0002] The Lotus interface RCA head, commonly known as the Lotus cable, is a type of audio cable that is widely used in recording studios, stage audio, and video audio systems to achieve quick connection of various audio devices. Due to its structure, the RCA audio plug is connected to the female plug through the clamping structure at its front end. The clamping part is elastic and can clamp the outer wall of the female plug. In order to facilitate plugging and unplugging, the clamping amount of the clamping part is usually not too tight, which can easily cause the connection to become loose, especially after long-term use. It is very easy to fall off, affecting the connection. At the same time, it is easy to cause a false connection after loosening, which seriously affects the audio quality. In addition, the RCA connector in the prior art is usually connected by welding, which is inconvenient to connect and increases resistance. The resistance of the welding point will cause signal loss, which will not only weaken the signal, but also make the signal unstable, thereby generating noise and murmurs, affecting the performance of the sound quality.
