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
What’s in the box
- 1× 90° SDIN / SME-style 5-pin tonearm plug
- Shell with locking collar + internal strain relief
- Simple wiring guide (below)

Common SDIN 5-Pin Mapping
| Pin | Function | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Left + (L hot) | Signal |
| 2 | Left − (L return) | Cold/return |
| 3 | Right + (R hot) | Signal |
| 4 | Right − (R return) | Cold/return |
| 5 | Arm/Chassis Ground | Separate earth to preamp ground post |
Important: Some manufacturers swap returns or ground conventions. Always verify your tonearm’s
documentation and continuity before soldering.
Installation
- Slide the shell & collar onto the cable first.
- Strip and tin each conductor (keep leads short).
- Solder to the cups for L+, L−, R+, R− and connect the separate ground to Pin 5.
- Secure the cable with the internal clamp, reassemble the shell, tighten the locking collar.
- Continuity-test all pins to the cartridge tags or downstream connectors before use.
Care & Notes
- Teflon insert is very resilient when soldering.
- Route the cable to avoid sharp bends immediately at the exit.
- Clean contacts occasionally with a non-residue contact cleaner.
