HEAVY DUTY 1/4" COMMERCIAL PHONE PLUGS

SERIES 188 AND 299 PLUGS

* Switchcraft's 188 is more heavy-duty than our competitor's biggest 1/4" commercial phone plugs.

* Large curved tip solder terminal makes it easier to solder to heavy gauge wires.

* Longer sleeve terminal allows more room to make sleeve solder connections.

* Extra-large cable clamp securely grips cable of up to .450" in diameter.

* Will easily accommodate some varieties of four conductor 14 gauge wire and parallel two conductor 12 gauge wire.

* Bendable tab on sleeve terminal makes termination easier by holding down cable while soldering. In addition, such mechanical retention makes for a superior solder connection.

* Will handle up to 15 A. rms (maximum).
