How Do You Repair An RCA Plug?
RCA plugs are used to connect audio-video cable to speakers, TVs, amplifiers and other forms of audio-video equipment. They are a simple devise made up of a protective cover with a central metal plug to which two wires connect. Depending on the damage, it’s advisable to replace the RCA plug, rather than repair it. However, if it’s simply that the wires have become detached then repair the RCA plug. Remove the cap from the top of the RCA plug to determine what needs to be done to repair it. Some caps unscrew, others need to be pried away from the main metal central unit. As the RCA plug has no moving parts, it’s likely that the wires are loose or touching each other. Remove any attached wires from the plug by cutting them. Move the cap farther up the audio wire so it doesn’t fall off. Cut the audio wire cleanly about an inch from the end. Strip a 1/2 inch of the plastic coating to reveal two wires covered in color-coded plastic. Remove a 1/4 inch of the plastic from each colored wire. C
