About Switchcraft, Inc.
Switchcraft, Inc. was established in 1946 to
manufacture jacks, plugs, and switches. We
have since become the industry leader in
producing a wide variety of connectors, adapters,
jacks and plugs, patchbays, jackfields, and
switches. While our products cover a diverse
number of markets, this catalog focuses on our
line of audio and video products, typically found
in broadcast, recording, sound reinforcement,
and other pro audio applications.
Some of the new products you’ll find in this
catalog include our EZ Norm Series of audio
patchbays, where normal configurations can be
changed from the front of the patchbay, using a
standard screwdriver. Also found in this edition
are new combination audio/video patchbays
in both standard/long-frame and midsize/bantam
styles. In the connector section, we’re offering
a new line of connectors called our EH Series,
incorporating a wide range of connectors (Firewire,
USB, Category 6, BNC, RCA, and more) in a
standard XLR housing.
Please keep in mind that this is just a small
sampling of our complete product lines. For
more detailed information, we offer our “full
line” catalog, our Engineering Design Guide.
Our Engineering Design Guide includes over
5,000 part numbers covering all five major
product lines. If you don't see it here, chances
are you'll find it in the EDG. And again, keep in
mind that the EDG is also just a "snapshot" of
our capabilities. We manufacture over 30,000
part numbers, so if it's not in the EDG, please
contact us with your requirements. To keep up

PATCHBAYS
4
Our Patchbays Now Feature the New
Professional Punchdown Terminal (PPT)
Our Patchbays Have Just
Rounded A New Corner
Actually, the corners we rounded
belong to our patchbays’ revolutionary,
new Professional Punchdown Terminal
(PPT), making it perfectly compatible
with the industry standard. We realized
that achieving a new industry standard
meant we couldn’t cut any corners to
get there.
The PPT design incorporates a
split-barrel design and a more rugged,
thicker housing to minimize the
impact of repeated punchdowns.
The split-barrel design eliminates
the problems associated with the
old “V-shaped” terminal designs.
The PPT design distributes pressure
evenly across both sides of the
terminated wire, causing improved
wire retention plus more reliable
connections. The serrated teeth in
the plastic housing firmly grip the
wires, which also greatly improves
wire retention. With the PPT, multiple
wires can be terminated to a single
contact, and a wide range of wire
gauges can be used.
Look for Switchcraft’s PPT in our MTP and TTP Series of audio patchbays, and in our new Backpanel Series.
All Switchcraft audio patchbays incorporate heavy gauge materials and our high quality nickel-plated, steel framed
jacks. Gold-plated, crossbar contacts come standard!
Materials
Housing: Thermoplastic (UL 94V-0)
Contacts: High strength copper alloy, tin plated
Wire size: Accommodates #22, 24, or 26 AWG, stranded or solid
