The connectors are also sometimes casually referred to as <b>A/V jacks</b>. The name "RCA" derives from the <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA" title="RCA">Radio Corporation of America</a>, which introduced the design by the early 1940s for internal connection of the pickup to the chassis in home radio-phonograph consoles. It was originally a low-cost, simple design, intended only for mating and disconnection when servicing the console. Refinement came with later designs, although they remained compatible.</p> <p>RCA connectors began to replace the older quarter-inch <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)" title="Phone connector (audio)">phone connectors</a> for many other applications in the consumer audio world when component <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fidelity" title="High-fidelity" class="mw-redirect">high-fidelity</a> systems started becoming popular in the 1950s. However, quarter-inch phone connectors are still common in professional audio, while miniature phone connectors (3.5 mm) have become predominant in <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_stereo" title="Personal stereo">personal stereo</a> systems.</p> <p>The connection's plug is called an RCA <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_(connector)" title="Plug (connector)" class="mw-redirect">plug</a> or phono plug, for "phonograph."

The ring is often segmented for flexibility. Devices mount the socket (<a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_of_connectors_and_fasteners" title="Gender of connectors and fasteners">female jack</a>), consisting of a central hole with a ring of metal around it. The ring is slightly smaller in diameter and longer than the ring on the plug, allowing the plug's ring to fit tightly over it. The jack has a small area between the outer and inner rings which is filled with an insulator, typically plastic (very early versions, or those made for use as <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_connector" title="RF connector">RF connectors</a> used ceramic).</p> <p>As with many other connectors, the RCA has been adopted for other uses than originally intended, including as a <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets" title="AC power plugs and sockets">power connector</a>, an <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_connector" title="RF connector">RF connector</a>, and occasionally as a connector for <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudspeaker" title="Loudspeaker">loudspeaker</a> cables. Its use as a connector for composite video signals is extremely common, but provides poor <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching" title="Impedance matching">impedance matching</a>. RCA connectors and cable are also commonly used to carry <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S/PDIF" title="S/PDIF">S/PDIF</a>-formatted <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_audio" title="Digital audio">digital audio</a>, with plugs colored orange to differentiate them from other typical connections.</p> <p>Connections are made by pushing the cable's plug into the <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_of_connectors_and_fasteners" title="Gender of connectors and fasteners">female jack</a> on the device. The signal-carrying pin protrudes from the plug, and often comes into contact with the socket before the grounded rings meet, resulting in loud hum or buzz if the audio components are powered while making connections. Continuous noise can occur if the plug partially falls out of the jack, breaking ground connection but not the signal. Some variants of the plug, especially cheaper versions, also give very poor grip and contact between the ground sheaths due to their lack of flexibility.</p> <p>They are often color-coded, yellow for <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_video" title="Composite video">composite video</a>, red for the right audio channel, and white or black for the left channel of <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereophonic_sound" title="Stereophonic sound">stereo audio</a>. This trio (or pair) of jacks can be found on the back of almost all audio and video equipment. One or more sets are often found on the front panel of modern TV sets to facilitate connection of <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camcorder" title="Camcorder">camcorders</a>, other portable video sources and video game consoles. Although nearly all connectors, including analog and <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S/PDIF" title="S/PDIF">S/PDIF</a> audio as well as composite and <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_video" title="Component video">component video</a>, can use identical 75 Ω cables, sales of special-purpose cables for each use have proliferated. Varying cable quality means that a cheap line-level audio cable might not successfully transfer component video or digital audio signals due to <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance" title="Electrical impedance">impedance</a> mismatch and poor shielding quality (causing <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio" title="Signal-to-noise ratio">signal-to-noise ratio</a> to be too low).

Another problem with the RCA connectors is that each signal requires its own plug. Even the simple case of attaching a cassette deck may need four of them, two for stereo input and two for stereo output. In any common setup this quickly leads to a mess of cables and confusion in how to connect them, which is made worse if one considers more complex signals like <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_video" title="Component video">component video</a> (a total of three for video and two for analog audio or one for digital coaxial audio).</p> <p>There have been attempts to introduce combined audio/video connectors for direct signals, but in the analog realm none of these has ever become universal, with the exception of <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a> where the <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCART" title="SCART">SCART</a> connector is very successful.<sup id="cite_ref-scarpers_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-scarpers-1"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a></sup> For a time the 5-pin <a href="/web/20150320064603/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_connector" title="DIN connector">DIN connector</a> was popular for bi-directional stereo connection between A/V equipment, but it has been entirely displaced on modern consumer devices.

This reduces background noise, including clicks or pops, and also conserves the amount of physical space needed for each groove, by reducing the size of the larger low-frequency undulations.
