Oyaide C-046 IEC at VH Audio

The basic material for the Oyaide C-046 is deoxidized Phosphorus Bronze, which provides strength and a secure contact.

The surface of the C-046 is thoroughly polished TWICE. Then, a super thick (1.5 micron) 24K Gold layer is plated directly onto this polished surface, and the polishing process is again applied twice. Next, the Oyaide C-046 receives the final Palladium plating (0.3 micron), and is again polished twice. The combination of these polishing processes, platings, and thicknesses of platings ultimately leads to the final sound character.

For the body of the Oyaide C-046, Oyaide has chosen high density PBT, mixed with 30% glass filler. This combination was used to maximize rigidity, thermal stability and provide high resonance absorption. The outer shell is Polycarbonate.

In our experience, and based on the feedback of our customers, the Oyaide C-046 male AC connector is a great match for tubed systems or neutral sounding SS systems.
