35RAPC4BHN2

Barrel - Audio Connectors is a type of connector used for distinct purposes in the sound industry. Commonly known as a 35RAPC4BHN2 connector, it consists of a plastic piece joined to two metal heads that mate together when plugged in. This type of connection is used to facilitate audio-based applications for equipment such as headphones, speakers, and microphones.

Most 35RAPC4BHN2 connectors pair a 3.5mm audio plug with a 4-conductor braided shield. This enables a connection to be created between two audio devices, allowing for the transfer of audio signals and power. The four-conductor shield prevents common electrical interference and electro-magnetic radiation from degrading the signal.

Most 3.5 mm audio connectors are divided into several basic categories, depending on the number of contact points and functionality. TRS connectors have two contact points and are suitable for stereo audio transmission, while TRRS models typically have three contact points, allowing them to be used for both mono and stereo signals. A fourth contact point is often found on more advanced models, which is used for the processing of several channels of audio.

Although consumer-grade 35RAPC4BHN2 connectors are often used in audio-based applications, some models are designed for professional-grade applications. Especially designed for professional audio equipment such as mixers and amplifiers, these connectors provide better reliability and improved sound quality. They are also more expensive due to their higher performance and better connectivity.

With the development of digital audio technology, many companies have opted for digital audio transmission instead of analog. A digital audio connection is formed using fibre optic cables, as opposed to the traditional copper cables used for analog setups. This allows more data to be transmitted over smaller cables, as well as providing improved audio fidelity and signal stability.

35RAPC4BHN2 connectors are used in a wide variety of applications in sound production, recording, and playback. They are especially prevalent in consumer-grade audio devices, such as headphones, speakers, and microphones. Their use in professional-grade equipment enables audio engineers to achieve superior sound quality, reliability, and improved signal fidelity. Fibre optic cables, on the other hand, are most commonly used in digital audio applications.
