Robust 1/8" (3.5 mm) stereo jacks?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Let me start by saying I have grown to really hate 1/8" jacks (i.e. minijacks, like you would see on an ipod).

Nevertheless, I have a couple of repairs to do... in each case, the jack is still mounted to the board just fine, but from repeated stress the jack itself has become intermittent.

Does anybody have know of a good-quality panel-mount or board-mount jack that stands up reasonably well?

I need stereo (TRS)

Thanks

Yesterday I had to replace the EBS35 (Reichelt Link) which I installed in the mb6582 just a few months ago (with not many plug-in cycles) - i would avoid these from now on, if possible.

The EB K4-35 (Reichelt Link) might be a little bit sturdier (at least they look so in my eyes) but they cost six times as much ;-)
