Furutech's FI-11 series male AC connectors are arguably the best bang for the buck connectors on the market, and will accept larger O.D. cabling (up to 16mm). They are very easy to work with, require no soldering, and will accept up to two 12 AWG wires per terminal. The male blades are made from pure copper and the connector includes Furutech's special "ground jumper" system that connects the screws to the safety ground, thus eliminating magnetic interactions. Their clamping mechanism allows superior clamping pressure on the wires, and their cable body clamp is extremely well designed. Mate these with a good AC Wall Receptacle for ultimate performance. Available in solid copper: Furutech FI-11MCu or the gold plated FI-11MG.
Furutech's premium FI-25 series male AC connectors are incredible sounding connectors, and are very easy to work with. They require no soldering, and will accept up to two 12 AWG wires per terminal, except the Schuko version which accepts one 12 AWG wire per terminal. The metallic parts are made with OCC, OFC copper or highly conductive phosphor bronze, and include Furutech's special "ground jumper" that connects the screws to the safety ground, thus eliminating magnetic interactions. Their clamping mechanism allows superior clamping pressure on the wires. All versions also undergo Furutech's proprietary demagnetization process and cryogenic treatment. A deep, thick silver layer is plated over the base metal before the final plating is applied tothe Rhodium version. Mate these with a good AC Wall Receptacle for ultimate performance.
*** Please note the Furutech FI-UK connectors must be purchased as part of an overall order for other parts (wire, heatshrink, sleeving, etc...).

ITEM! Furutech has just released (September of 2006) a new FI-E35 Schuko connector that has the same clamping mechanism as the FI-25 series, allowing for up to TWO 12AWG conductors per terminal. This is the first and only Schuko connector on the market that uses PURE COPPER for the conductor pins, and is sure to raise the bar yet again for Schuko connectors. Available in gold or rhodium plating.

ITEM! Oyaide (pronounced "Oh-yah-ee-day") is the new kid on the block, with their AC power connectors and receptacles. One look at these confirms the Japanese obsession with quality materials and workmanship. This company is a contender for one of the best AC connectors on the market today, with special attention paid to the polishing and plating processes used. Will accomodate cable sizes from 6.5 mm to 17 mm and wires up to 10AWG. The new Oyaide P-004 and M1 M-1 connectors are the cream of this crop, with beryllium copper base metal with platinum and palladium platings. The M1 M-1 and Oyaide P-004 are now available in Schuko versions M1e and Oyaide P-004e
WattGate male AC connectors are the standard by which all other connectors are judged, and represent exceptional value. All the WattGate connectors have been recently updated to use non-magnetic stainless steel screws. They require no soldering, and will accept up to a single 10 AWG wire per terminal (without modification). The brass contacts are available unplated 5266i series, or plated with gold 330i series. WattGate's proprietary plating process uses a layer of OFC copper, followed by electroless nickel, and finally a layer of 24K gold. WattGate connectors are now cryogenically treated by WattGate.
NEW
ITEM! WattGate's new SILVER plated 330iAg connectors are now available! They utilize the same plating process as the 330i gold series, but finish with a layer of pure silver, in lieu of 24K gold.

Furutech's FI-11 series connectors are arguably the best bang for the buck IEC connectors on the market, and will accept larger O.D. cabling (up to 16mm). They are very easy to work with, require no soldering, and will accept up to two 12 AWG wires per terminal. The electrical contacts' base metal is phosphor bronze, and platings available are copper, gold and silver.THis connector also includes Furutech's special "ground jumper" system that connects the screws to the safety ground, thus eliminating magnetic interactions. Their clamping mechanism allows superior clamping pressure on the wires, and their cable body clamp is extremely well designed. Mate these with Furutech's 15A IEC inlets for ultimate performance. Available in three plating schemes: FI-11Cu (copper), FI-11G (gold), and FI-11Ag (silver).

FI-10(R) & FI-10(G) - The Furutech Rhodium-plated FI-10(R) IEC inlet can be described in one word: CLEAN. The Gold-plated FI-10(G) sounds a bit warmer and is especially suited for digital or solid state equipment. This is a premium IEC inlet that utilizes a nylon/fiberglass housing and high conductivity Phosphor bronze. The Furutech FI-10 IEC inlet is a significant upgrade to most audiophile components, since most stock inlets are made of nickel-plated brass and PVC body. When used in conjunction with the Furutech FI-25 series IEC plugs on your power cord- you'll have a connection that has the "grip of death", in addition to unbelievably good sound. This IEC inlet is very easy to install, and does NOT require any soldering. The wires are simply screwed into the inlet.
* Please note these inlets were originally made with a Teflon body (2004), but have since been manufactured with a nylon/fiberglass body to meet regulatory requirements. Many vendors on the web are not aware of this, and are inadvertently advertising these as having a Teflon body.

ITEM! FI-09(R) & FI-09(G) - Furutech has just introduced the FI-09 15 AMP PREMIUM Gold or Rhodium plated IEC inlets! This newly designed 15A IEC inlet utilizes the same clamping technology as found in Furutechs 20 amp inlets and connectors. Will accept up to 4mm wire diameter and the clamping plates are made of pure copper, NOT brass.
NEW
ITEM! FI-33(R) & FI-33(G) - Furutech has recently introduced the FI-33 20 AMP Gold or Rhodium plated IEC inlets! To my knowledge, these are the very first serious attempt at an audiophile grade 20 amp IEC inlet. The clamping mechanism is similar to that of the FI-25 series connectors, but is futher refined with a patent pending pressure plate that increases the surface area and grip of the clamps. You can easily get two 12 AWG conductors into each termination point (H, N, G).
