Furutech IEC Mains Socket FI-50 R (10Amp) - Rhodium Plated
A High end High performance IEC connector, the Furutech FI-50R is part of the
newly released Pure transmission range. Using Piezo Ceramic series connector
bodies and housing assemblies - with Pure copper Rhodium Plated Conductors
Piezo Ceramic Series Connectors • A Furutech First!
Furutech’s Pure Transmission FI-50 Piezo Ceramic series connector bodies and
housings feature several breakthrough construction techniques. A multilayer
nonmagnetic stainless steel and carbon fibre shell incorporates a special
damping and insulating acetal copolymer. Furutech settled on stainless and
carbon fibre for the outer housing after extensive listening sessions with Japanese
industry figures and audiophiles.
The body of the connectors combines two “active” materials: Nano-sized ceramic
particles and powdered carbon. (Only nano-sized ceramic particles effectively
couples with carbon powder.) Nylon and fiberglass are incorporated as well
forming an extremely effective, well damped, mechanically and electrically
nonresonant connector body. That’s correct, they’re electrically damped as
well.
Piezoelectric effects are the key. Furutech’s breakthrough in design and
materials is based on employing nano-sized polycrystalline ferroelectric
ceramic particles exhibiting electro-generative properties; mechanical pressure
creates an electrical charge forming a bridge between electrical and mechanical
oscillation.
Carbon powder exhibits thermal-conductive characteristics that interact with
the charged ferro-ceramic particles converting their energy into heat that’s
conducted away and released from the surface of the connector body.
These carefully chosen and tested “active” materials mechanically and
electrically damp the connector and receptacle as they “interconvert” thermal,
mechanical, and electrical energy for the finest Furutech Pure Transmission
signal imaginable.
