About This Item
Description
The ESP plug (Large, 5 mm) is a solderable, low-profile pancake-style 1/4" connector for mono cables with an outer diameter of about 5 mm. This listing is the ESP-RA-L Large 5 mm, right-angle mono version in a 10-pack.
Choose the right version
This is a 10-pack of the Large 5 mm right-angle mono plug. It fits mono cables with an outer diameter of about 5 mm, such as Mogami 2319 (W2319) and Van Damme Pro Patch. It is not sized for Evidence Audio Monorail (4 mm): for Monorail, Mogami 2314 or Canare GS-4 choose the ESP Small (ESP-RA-S).
Why builders choose the ESP plug
Builders choose the ESP plug when they prefer a soldered connection in a compact, low-profile package. The small right-angle housing keeps patch cables tight to the pedals, so more effects fit on a board and jacks spaced close together stay usable. Choose the size that matches your cable's outer diameter.
Key features
- Right-angle, low-profile pancake housing measuring just 15 x 23 x 8 mm (W x H x D), one of the smallest 1/4" plugs for pedalboard patch cables.
- Patent-pending closure that uses a single screw instead of two, for a smaller form factor and faster assembly.
- Contacts machined from high-copper-content brass for hardness, strength and good conductivity.
- All-metal construction with a black finish; solder tabs make termination quick, and the plug can be opened and serviced later.
- Sold in a pack of 10.

FAQ
What cable does the ESP Large fit? Mono cables with an outer diameter of about 5 mm, such as Mogami 2319 and Van Damme Pro Patch.
Does the ESP Large fit Evidence Audio Monorail? No. Monorail is a 4 mm cable; use the ESP Small (ESP-RA-S), which also fits Mogami 2314 and Canare GS-4.
Do I need to solder? Yes. The ESP is a solder-type plug; it is serviceable, so a joint can be reopened and redone.
Will it fit pedals with closely spaced jacks? Yes. The right-angle pancake housing measures just 15 x 23 x 8 mm and keeps patch cables tight to the pedals, so jacks spaced close together stay usable.
Is it a mono or stereo plug? Mono. It is a 1/4" TS plug for mono cables such as pedalboard patch cables, not a TRS (stereo) plug.
