C-246

Blade Contact

Contacts
The blade holder, which is in contact with the inlet, is made of 1.4mm-thick phosphor bronze. This provides a strong hold. The load weight is normally 3 to 5 kg, but the plug can be held with a force of 7 kg or more. This plug is hard to pull out and can be used with peace of mind, even with slight vibrations.


Plating

The process of making the "C-237/246/279" into the ultimate product begins with the surface preparation of the plating. Once punched as a part, the material is mechanically barrel polished and then buffed by hand, one by one. This two-stage polishing process is unique in its application to audio equipment. Mirror finish and direct plating. The simplicity of the product is the reason why it must be made to the highest standards. Oyaide's philosophy and craftsmanship are condensed here as well.

Oyaide's original combination plating, which has been established as the individuality of each product through repeated listening tests. In addition, the buffing and polishing process is used. These processes convey an emotion that has never been experienced before.

The plating of the C-19 series are:

C-237 - combination of silver (1.5micron) and rhodium (0.3 micron).
C-246 - combination of 24k gold (1.5micron) and palladium (0.3 micron).
C-279 - 24k gold （2.0μ)

Contact point capable of withstanding a pulling load of 30 kg

The tensile strength of the blade holder and cable is more than 30 kg, and even a slight pull will not cause the cable to come loose. This is also the result of careful consideration of safety.

Body

PBT + 30%GF Body
The body is made of high specific gravity engineering plastic material (PBT + 30% GF), which has both excellent mechanical properties and electrical insulation properties. The highly rigid body realizes high-speed vibration damping.

Stainless screws
Furthermore, all screws are made of stainless steel and are completely original screws made exclusively for P/C. Highly rigid stainless steel screws will not cause problems such as over-torquing, crushing of threads, or removal of heads. The maximum cable installation size is 10sq (5.5sq x 2 cables), boasting outstanding workability. The tensile strength of the blade holder and cable is more than 30 kg, so even a slight pull will not cause the cable to come loose. This is also the result of careful consideration of safety aspects..

High rigidity polycarbonate outer cover
The outer cover 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.

Product Management System with Serial Numbered Hologram Seals

All Oyaide Electric's P/C series AC plugs and IEC connector are all labeled with a "hologram sticker" with a serial number for management purposes. The product is shipped in its original can case, which protects it from shocks during transportation.

It has been confirmed that counterfeit products that look very similar to the "P/C series AC plug and IEC connector are currently circulating.

All products are shipped in an "original can case," with a "hologram sticker" with serial number attached to the side of the main body, and the name sticker attached to the side of the main body has been changed to an "aluminum plate sticker" to distinguish it from counterfeit products.

Before your purchasing, please contact your local authorized Oyaide distributor if you are unsure.
