Compact Audio Video Adapter
The Unique-Bargains adapter connects a 3.5mm 3-pole male plug to three screw terminals for audio and video signals. It is intended for installers setting up CCTV cameras or microphones who need a quick, solder-free connection. The compact 42mm by 19mm by 13mm PVC housing fits into tight junction boxes. No special tools are required beyond a small screwdriver.
Passive Signal Connection
As a passive component the adapter draws no power and adds no active circuitry to the signal path. The 5 VA rated load and 20 MΩ insulation resistance define its electrical limits for short-distance monitoring runs. AWG 26 to 16 wire diameters are accepted by the screw terminals. Green and black colour coding helps identify connections during installation.
Sustained Monitoring Use
Under continuous CCTV operation the screw terminals maintain a secure mechanical grip without the loosening that can affect push-fit connectors. The PVC body withstands typical indoor and sheltered outdoor temperatures encountered in security installations. No heat is generated by the adapter itself so thermal throttling or noise are not factors. Long-term reliability depends on the quality of the terminated wires and the environment.

Questions about this item
How do I connect wires to the screw terminals without soldering?
Strip each wire to fit AWG 26-16, insert into the three terminals, and tighten the small screws with a small screwdriver — no tap, splicing or crimping required.
Will the screw terminals loosen over time in a permanent CCTV install?
The terminals accept solid or stranded wire from AWG 26 to 16; periodic re-tightening of the three screws maintains a secure connection.
What signal loss appears first on a long 3.5 mm cable run?
The adapter is rated for 5 VA and 20 MΩ insulation resistance; on extended runs the 3.5 mm male plug’s contact resistance becomes the limiting factor.
