What is the colored label/part of the RCA jack called?

What is the colored label/part of the RCA jack called? ...Going crazy trying to find replacement red and white RCA jack labels for my receiver. Sometimes the RCA cables are too tight and pull out the copper RCA jack and lost a few red and white RCA labels. So ive been looking to purchase new ones but cant find them.

Get some red and white heat shrink, slip a piece over the IC and use a hair dryer on "high" to shrink it on (red-on-right, white-on-left). Also, Home Depot sells colored electrician's tape that works well.

Heat shrink, right. You want that anyway. Comes in real handy.

nobody sells those colored pieces of plastic... i guess you can buy complete replacement jack and disassemble for needed pieces

kgbspy, agreed, if the insulators are popping out on my RCA jacks, I would replace the complete jack assemblies if possible.
