* 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).
