Oyaide P-046e Palladium/Gold-plated Schuko plug

The basic material is 1.4mm-thick deoxidised phosphor bronze for strength and secure contact. When connected, they can take over a 7kg load. The surface is thoroughly polished twice.

The manufacturing process is started from foundation coating. The material, which was punched out as a part, is polished by hand piece by piece after machined barrel-polishing.

The plating of the P-046e is a combination of 24k gold and palladium, which were selected as a result of repeated listening tests. The inner gold layer is 1.5 microns thick, and the outer palladium layer is 0.3 microns thick.

Body Features

Inner Body
30% glass filled PBT has excellent machine-ability and provides superior electrical isolation. The highly rigid body of the P-046e effectively attenuates high-speed vibrations. All screws, which were originally designed for P/C series, are made of highly rigid stainless steel which is non-magnetic substance. Moreover, the cable cannot be separated from the plug by a force less than 30kg, a significant safety feature.

Stainless Screws
The screws of P/C series are all made of highly rigid stainless so its screw head doesn't collapse even if you give them too much strength. In addition, because it is non-magnetic material, it helps to achieve high S/N ratio without being magnetized at its connection part.

Outer Housing
The outer cover of P/C series is made of PC ( Polycarbonate ) for its rigidity and hardness. It helps to attenuate tiny vibrations in quick response and reduce distortions by its superior mechanical strength.
