I'd still sprint for RCA males that look like the first
picture than that in the second. More contact area!

I agree though on choice of materials mattering.


If you think about it, unless the inner diameter of the plug's outer is
exactly the same as the outside diameter of the jack's outer, there will
actually be only one or two point contacts on each of the four "flags".
And if one of those is displaced outwards *at all*, then it won't make
any contact.

Why do you think that lots of contact area is better?
