Key Features

1. Non-Plated Brass Contacts:

  • Solid Brass Construction: The contacts of the C-029 and P-029e are made from high-quality solid brass, which offers good conductivity and durability. Brass is a reliable conductor that provides a noticeable improvement in power transfer over standard connectors, making it an ideal starting point for upgrading your audio system’s power delivery.
  • No Plating: Unlike other connectors in the P/C series, the C-029 and P-029e do not have any additional plating on the brass contacts. This allows for a more direct and unaltered power transmission, offering a natural and uncolored sound profile that maintains the integrity of the original audio signal.

2. Precision Engineering and Solid Construction:

  • Sturdy One-Piece Body Design: The connectors are crafted with a solid, one-piece body structure, ensuring a robust and stable connection with minimal risk of signal degradation. This sturdy design enhances the reliability of the power connection, providing consistent performance over time.
  • Secure and Reliable Fit: The C-029 and P-029e connectors are designed to ensure a snug and secure connection with power cables and IEC inlets, preventing any power loss or fluctuations that could negatively impact your audio experience.

3. Effective Vibration Dampening:

  • Nylon + Polycarbonate Housing: The outer housing is made from a combination of nylon and polycarbonate materials, which offer good vibration-dampening properties. This reduces the impact of mechanical vibrations that can interfere with power transmission, ensuring a cleaner and more stable power supply to your audio equipment.

Features

Blade Features

■Contacts
The basic material is pure brass for P-029/C-029. Its rigidty makes the contact secure.

※The blade of P-029 would often be oxidized because of its material nature, pure brass.
When it happens, you need to polish it out frequently by soft cotton cloth.

■Plating
P-029/C-029 don’t have plating on its contacts.

Body Features

■Inner Body
30% glass filled PBT has excellent machine-ability and provides superior electrical isolation. The highly rigid body of the P-029/C-029 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 conection 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.
