Help needed making an RCA Y cable

ringo_the_hifi · 17th July 2009, 06:10 PM

Hello there.

I've got some Chord Cobra 3 cable that I would like to make in to 2 RCA Y cables.

Can anyone tell me the best way of doing this? I'm after some kind of wiring diagram firstly and then some advice on how to make the joint strong. Is there any kind casing you can buy for the joint?

I'm new to all this, so go easy on me guys n gals.

Many thanks!

As far as the strength of the joint is concerned I think most here would agree that heat shrink is a good answer. This is avaiable from amoung other places DigiKey follow the link.

Right! and you can use different sizes to build up the joints and even taper multiple layers on top.

Remember to put it all on before you solder
