Replacement for humble RCA
I have been using Hirose 3 pin connectors as a replacement for the ancient RCA in all of my new projects.They are cheap; $1.92 for the 3 pin receptacle; and $3.57 for the 3 pin plug.The Male pins are brass and silver plated;the female pins are phosphor bronze and also silver plated.The bodies are made of Polyamide and Polyacetal resin.They are blue in colour and I purchase them from Digikey.

Why not use these guys?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XLR_connector They're not that much more expensive than the Hiroses, and you can get XLR connectors & cables just about anywhere. |

Here is another Pic.Yes they are similar to Din plugs.The receptacles are about 12MM in diameter.They are also available with seven pins.
I consider them a poor man's Lemo or Redel connector suitable for home built equipment. |
