Product Description
A wire to RCA female screw terminal adapter turns bare, stripped wire into a standard RCA female socket — no soldering needed. It's a small but useful fix when your camera or microphone cable has been cut short, extended, or never had an RCA plug fitted in the first place.
How it works
Two stripped wire ends go into a 2-pin screw terminal block; you tighten each with a screwdriver, and the other side presents a standard RCA female connector. That female end then takes any RCA male plug — the kind found on DVRs, amplifiers, and camera audio leads.
Where it's used
- Connecting a CCTV microphone to a DVR audio input
- Repairing or extending audio/video runs without buying a new pre-terminated cable
- General AV wiring where a bare-wire-to-RCA link is needed
What to check before buying
Confirm the equipment at the other end genuinely needs an RCA female connection — this adapter won't help if your DVR or camera expects RCA male or a different connector type. Because it's a screw-terminal clamp rather than a soldered joint, it suits accessible installs where you might need to re-terminate later, such as during system maintenance or testing.
Compact and straightforward, it's the kind of part worth keeping a couple of spares of in a CCTV toolkit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to solder anything?
No — the 2-pin screw terminal clamps the stripped wire ends, so no soldering is required.
What does the RCA end connect to?
It's a standard RCA female connector, so it plugs directly into RCA male leads from DVRs, amplifiers, or cameras.
What is this typically used for?
It's commonly used in CCTV installs to connect a microphone or other bare-wire audio source to a DVR's RCA input.
Can I reuse it if I need to rewire later?
Yes — since it's a screw terminal rather than a soldered joint, you can loosen and re-terminate the wires as needed.
