I am trying to locate a 1/4" TRS input socket replacement for a Hohner
Panther Tega-10 guitar amp. I have removed the damaged one by melting
the 4 solder points where the narrow pins at the end of each leg fix
into the circuit board. These are spaced 16mm apart (measuring side to
side across the amp) and 13mm apart (measuring from front to back, i.e.
in line with the jack). The height of the centre of the jack to the
surface of the circuit board is 11mm.
Can anyone please suggest where I might find one?

Try CPC Preston, Maplin Electronics, Rapid Electronics, Google sesrch

As you've no doubt guessed, I'm a novice. Many thanks for the helpful
advice you guys. I'd already tried googling but could only find the sort
that fits inside guitars rather than sits on PCBs. Now CPC Preston and
Maplins come up with this

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...ets& doy=13m1

Maplins used to do a "PCB mounting pin" version, no photo and now
discontinued, which I suspect is what I need, as the old one that I
removed has the 5mm wide feet stepping down about halfway along their
length to a 1mm pin, which fits into the holes in the PCB, the "shoulder"
sitting flat on the PCB.

I'll get the sort that's illustrated and see what can be done.

There is a pcb mounting version available also, search a bit harder.

Thanks for all the further information everyone. I found this too
http://www.cybermarket.co.uk/ishop/923/shopscr1826.html
but those pins don't look long enough to me. It looks like it's designed to
sit right on the PCB?
What is the difference between the switched and non-switched models please?
