Description
SDIN / SME-Style 5-Pin Tonearm Connector — 90° Right-Angle
Purpose-built for SME-pattern tonearm sockets found on Roksan, Jelco, Linn and many similar arms,
this right-angle SDIN plug gives a clean, low-profile cable exit where vertical space is tight —
ideal under suspended sub-chassis and close-fitting plinths. The connector uses the standard
5-pin 240° SDIN arrangement with clearly spaced solder cups and a
locking collar for a secure, low-resistance connection.
Highlights
90° right-angle body for neat, strain-reduced routing
SME-pattern / SDIN 5-pin, 240° geometry
Easy soldering — separate cups for L/R hot & return
Dedicated arm/chassis ground pin
Knurled locking collar ensures a firm mechanical mate
Cable clamp for strain relief inside the shell
