WF Series Connectors: High-Fidelity Connectivity for Audio & Video Applications
Reliable Signal Transmission for Studio, Stage, Home Theater, and Broadcast
The WF series connectors are engineered to deliver low-loss, high-fidelity signal transmission for professional and consumer audio-video (AV) systems. Featuring gold-plated contacts, rugged IP-rated protection, and flexible configurations, these connectors ensure pristine audio clarity and video integrity in environments ranging from home theaters to live stage rigs and outdoor broadcast setups. With a full range of core sizes and multi-pin options, the WF series meets the demands of both everyday AV installations and mission-critical professional applications.
Full Core Size Specifications
The WF series covers 5 core shell sizes, optimized for different AV signal density and power requirements:
WF12: 12mm panel cutout, ideal for compact stereo audio links, headphone amplifiers, and portable recording devices.
WF16: 16mm panel cutout, a versatile size for mid-range AV systems, supporting 2–12 pins for multi-channel surround sound and entry-level video transmission.
WF20: 20mm panel cutout, the most popular size for professional AV, balancing space efficiency with 2–16 pin capacity for 4K video and 7.1-channel audio.
WF24: 24mm panel cutout, designed for high-density applications like AV matrix switchers and broadcast routers, offering 2–24 pins for complex multi-signal setups.
WF28: 28mm panel cutout, the largest size, supporting up to 24 pins and higher current for power+signal hybrid AV systems, such as LED video walls and stage lighting control.
Flexible Multi-Pin Configurations
Each WF size offers 2 to 24 pin options, tailored to AV signal needs:
2-4 pins: Basic stereo audio connections for home theater speakers, microphones, and consumer-grade AV receivers.
6-12 pins: Multi-channel surround sound (5.1/7.1) and SDI video transmission for professional studios and live events.
16-24 pins: High-density AV matrix systems, broadcast routers, and LED video wall controllers requiring simultaneous audio, video, and control signals.
Core Performance Advantages
Gold-Plated Contacts for AV Fidelity
Gold-plated brass contacts ensure contact resistance ≤3 mΩ, minimizing signal attenuation and preserving the clarity of high-fidelity audio and 4K/8K video. This eliminates signal distortion and maintains dynamic range in professional recording and playback.
IP-Rated Protection for All Environments
IP40 (indoor) to IP65 (outdoor) ratings shield against dust, moisture, and accidental splashing, ensuring reliable performance in both climate-controlled studios and harsh outdoor broadcast sites.
Wide Temperature Stability
Operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C (industrial grade) ensures consistent signal integrity in extreme environments, from winter outdoor events to summer festival stages.
Secure Locking Mechanisms
Push-pull locking provides tool-free, one-click mating with audible confirmation, ideal for frequent setup changes in live events. Bayonet twist locks are available for industrial models, offering enhanced vibration resistance for mobile broadcast trucks and stage rigs.
Versatile Termination Options
Supports solder, crimp, and screw termination, enabling seamless integration with fine-gauge audio cables, thick power cables, and PCB-mounted AV equipment.
Application Scenarios
The WF series adapts to diverse AV environments with size and performance matched to specific use cases:
Home Theater & HiFi Systems: WF12 and WF16 sizes deliver low-loss stereo and multi-channel audio, preserving the detail of music and film soundtracks.
Live Stage & Events: WF20 and WF24 with IP54-IP65 protection resist dust, moisture, and vibration, ensuring reliable performance for stage monitors, line arrays, and LED screens.
Broadcast & Production: WF24 and WF28 sizes support high-density SDI video and AES/EBU audio links, critical for live sports broadcasts and studio production workflows.
Outdoor Installations: IP65-rated WF20 and WF24 models withstand rain and dust, making them ideal for permanent outdoor speaker systems and digital signage.
