About This Item
Description
SIS (Screw-In Solderless) plugs let you build and rebuild Monorail patch cables without a soldering iron. This listing is the Angled, 10-pack version.
Choose the right version
This is a 10-pack of Angled (Right-Angle) SIS plugs. Angled plugs keep a low profile for tight pedal spacing; Straight plugs suit inline and end connections. All SIS plugs are designed for Evidence Audio Monorail patch cable. The angled SIS plug is made in Graphite Black and Classic Nickel finishes.
Why players choose the SIS Plug
Pedalboard builders choose SIS plugs to build and rebuild without solder and avoid signal failures in the middle of a song. The inside of the tip is machined with threads that cut and re-shape the soft copper of the Monorail cable, forming an airtight connection that is in many ways better than a soldered joint.
Assembly is straightforward and satisfying to do at home. One essential step — remove the thin black conductive skin from around the white insulation during assembly (leaving it on can short the cable and cause tone or volume loss), then do a quick continuity check before you play.
Assembly tips
- Attach the first plug to the full length of cable, then measure, cut and attach the second plug — don't cut the cable into pieces first.
- Wear rubber gloves for grip and to protect your fingers when tightening.
- Right-angle plug: the cable screws into the plug tip, and a cap then screws onto the plug body.
- A screwed connection can be taken apart and rebuilt, so cables can be shortened or re-routed as the board changes.
How it compares
SIS plugs are the solderless (screw-in) option for Monorail cable; the ESP plug is the soldered pancake alternative.
Key features
- Patented screw-in solderless 1/4" TS (mono) phone plug designed for Evidence Audio Monorail cable
- Machined threaded tip; a harder brass core cuts into the copper for an airtight connection that also seals the jacket
- No soldering iron needed; plugs can be removed and reconnected
- Sold in a pack of 10
- Available in Straight and Angled (Right-Angle) orientations
Compatibility
- Evidence Audio Monorail patch cable: 20 AWG solid-core IGL copper center conductor, parallel-run shield with 98% coverage, low-capacitance coaxial geometry, carbon-loaded jacket against handling noise
- Mono (TS) connections between pedals, tuners and pedalboard patch points

FAQ
Is it hard to assemble? No — assembly is straightforward and satisfying at home. The plug screws onto the cable and its threaded tip forms the connection, with no soldering required.
What is the one step I must not skip? Remove the thin black conductive skin around the white insulation — leaving it on can short the cable and cause tone or volume loss — then do a quick continuity check before you play.
Straight or Angled? Angled (Right-Angle) plugs keep a low profile for tight pedal spacing; Straight plugs suit inline runs and end connections.
Can I reuse the plugs? Yes. The connection is screwed, not soldered, so a plug can be removed and fitted again when you rebuild a cable.
Mono or stereo? Mono: the SIS is a 1/4" TS plug for single-conductor patch cable such as Monorail.
Is cable included? No, this pack contains plugs only; Monorail cable is sold separately.
