This gold-plated quarter inch jack mono plug has a red color band around it to help you visibly differentiate between your plugs. It's supplied with a gold-flashed cable strain relief and will accept cables up to 8mm in diameter. The cable strain relief is 50mm long, the mono tip is 30mm long, and shell (body) is 42mm long, and once fully assembled, the whole unit is roughly 75mm long. This plug is both ultra-functional and stylish--the perfect addition to your tattoo gear!
Why Use a Gold-Plated 1/4" Jack Mono Plug?
~ The concentration of free electrons in gold metal is 5.90 x 1022 cm-3. Gold is highly conductive to electricity, and it's been used for electrical wiring in some high-energy applications.
~ Though gold is attacked by free chlorine, its good conductivity and general resistance to oxidation and corrosion in other environments (including resistance to non-chlorinated acids) has led to its widespread industrial use in the electronic era as a thin layer coating over electrical connectors of all kinds, thereby ensuring good connection. For example, gold is used in the connectors of more expensive electronics cables, such as audio, video and USB cables. The use of gold in other applications in electronic sliding contacts in highly humid or corrosive atmospheres, and in use for contacts with a very high failure cost (certain computers, communications equipment, spacecraft, jet aircraft engines) remains very common, and is unlikely to be replaced in the near future by any other metal.
~ Besides sliding electrical contacts, gold is also used in electrical contacts because of its resistance to corrosion, electrical conductivity, ductility and lack of toxicity. Switch contacts are generally subjected to more intense corrosion stress than are sliding contacts.
~ Fine gold wires are used to connect semiconductor devices to their packages through a process known as wire bonding.
