OYAIDE AC-029 IEC Connector

14 years since the P/C series. The "ARMORED Series" is a further upgraded product.

The AC-029 is made of brass with unplated barrel polishing.

[AC-029]
The electrode material is brass and unplated. The electrodes are precisely designed and dimensionally controlled so that they can fit into any outlet or inlet. The electrodes are punched out one by one with advanced engineering and carefully barrel polished.

In 2003, Oyaide Electric released the P/C series as Japan's first audio-only power plug and IEC connector. Since then, the high usability, design, specifications, safety, and sound quality have been praised around the world, and the P/C series continues to lead the power plug/IEC connector scene to this day. The P/C series has won numerous awards not only in Japan but also overseas, and has established a solid presence by supporting the demand for high-end audio cables, such as supplying OEM products to many power cable manufacturers both domestically and internationally. The ARMORED series is a product that has been further upgraded with unshakable trust and proven performance around the world.

[Features]

-Plugs and connectors covered in ARMOR -Ion plating IP shield blocks out external noise.

-Design that breathes refined technology -ARMORED cover with a shape that evokes the piston of an F1 machine.

-Excellent assembly allows smooth insertion of thick conductors equivalent to 5.5sq, and a large opening cable outlet that can accommodate extremely thick cables up to 16.5mm.

●Design that breathes refined technology -A shape that evokes the piston of an F1 machine.

"F1" is a motorsport that brings together the best human technology and competes for the world's fastest speed. The piston of an "F1" machine, a symbol of world-leading technology, is the design concept of the "ARMORED series". Oyaide Electric has added novelty, originality, and functionality to this design concept. The housing fits comfortably in the hand, is easy to insert and remove, and is full of functional beauty, ensuring the joy of creation and the pleasure of use. Like the pistons of an “F1” machine, the pinnacle of solid technology packed into a limited size is alive in the “ARMORED series” as a design that embodies Oyaide Electric's concept of “from materials to technology”, including the “102 SSC”.

●Refined engineering and unique design are both achieved.
・“Dual housing structure”
The housing that protects and secures the main body is a “dual housing structure” consisting of <Housing A (body) and Housing B (head)>. Housing A (body) has a built-in cable clamp, and by covering the cable clamp with Housing B (head), it maintains the beautiful design of the “ARMOREDE series” while firmly fixing the cable inside the housing.
・“Flex cable clamp method”
The cable clamp is movable and uses a “flex cable clamp method” that clamps the cable. The fixed cable is always located on the central axis of the plug, so the cable is not biased to one side of the outlet, and is fixed in the center regardless of the thickness of the cable, allowing the cable to be pulled out in a balanced manner and reducing the strain on the cable.

●The main body and the housing are firmly integrated - "ARMORED Mechanical Earth System".
The housing of the "ARMORED Series" consists of two parts. The housing is made of polycarbonate, an engineering plastic with excellent impact resistance and high mechanical strength. The high-rigidity stainless steel "screw a" inserted from the main body side and the "screw b" inserted from the housing B side are both fastened to the high-rigidity stainless steel long nut built into the housing A. This mechanism allows the "ARMORED Mechanical Earth System" to be realized by tightening the high-rigidity stainless steel screw that penetrates the main body and housing A/B with screws from two directions, the main body side and the housing B side. The main body and housing are firmly integrated, completely eliminating any rattling between the parts.

●"IP shield" by ion plating processing.
The biggest feature of the "ARMOREDE series" is the introduction of ion plating (IP) processing to the housing (except for 029), which deposits a metal film made of titanium/chromium carbonitride in a vacuum. IP processing, which was thought to be impossible for polycarbonate, has been made possible by the latest processing technology, and the "IP shield" applied to the housing by IP processing blocks the intrusion of external noise. In addition, the "IP shield" gives off an elegant metallic texture and highlights the beautiful form of the "ARMORED series", which can be said to be a new functional beauty of power plugs/connectors.

● Parts that are "Made in Japan" down to the smallest detail - Specially designed high-rigidity non-magnetic stainless steel screws/nuts.
All screws/nuts are made of high-rigidity non-magnetic stainless steel designed exclusively for the "ARMORED series". The nuts built into the cover are made of non-magnetic and highly durable SUS 303, and are cut with high precision one by one for the "ARMORED series". In addition, the length of the threaded part is over 10mm, and the large tightening torque makes the "ARMORED Mechanical Earth System" even stronger.

The material of the screws used in the "ARMORED Series" is non-magnetic SUS XM7, which has the same corrosion resistance and strength as SUS 304, the most representative stainless steel, also known as 18-8 stainless steel, and uses rolled screws made by a manufacturing method called rolling, which is said to be about 20% stronger than cutting. In addition, the head shape of the screw uses a plus-minus bind screw, and the head circumference of the bind screw is cut to ensure excellent design and strength of the screw head. In this way, the design that does not allow compromise even in the smallest parts and the high precision technology of "Made in Japan" elevate the "ARMORED Series" to a highly unique product.

●The body is made of PBT resin with glass filler, which has excellent mechanical strength and vibration damping.
Like the P/C series, the main body is made of high-density engineering plastic "polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) + GF30% (glass filler)", which has excellent mechanical properties and electrical insulation, minimizing the generation of unnecessary vibration. The PC clear cover that secures the main body electrode is firmly attached with a dedicated high-rigidity stainless steel screw.

● Excellent assembly that allows smooth insertion of thick conductors equivalent to 5.5sq. The conductor insertion port of the main body has been greatly widened, allowing smooth insertion of thick conductors equivalent to 5.5sq. It has become easier to work with thick power cables, which were previously difficult, and has achieved excellent assembly that can be used by a wide range of users from beginners to heavy users. In addition, the conductor insertion port of the PC clear cover has been tapered, making it possible to insert the conductor more smoothly.

● Large opening cable outlet that can accommodate extremely thick cables up to 16.5mm. The cable outlet of housing B (head) is designed to be as large as possible. The cable diameter is 8mm to 16.5mm. It can be used with a wide range of cables, from thin to very thick. The hole diameter of the rubber gasket at the cable outlet has been expanded from 6mm to 9mm. It is now easier to pass thick cables through.

The screw insertion hole near the cable outlet has a recess to prevent the screw head from protruding, maintaining an elegant design and preventing problems such as catching the screw head. A thorough commitment to industrial design is poured into each and every part that makes up the plug and IEC connector without compromise.
