RJ11 Jack, Panel-mount, ROUND HOLE

Does such a thing exist?

I'm not much good at cutting square holes in panels ;-)

I haven't read through the thread but, if no one has else
suggested it, why not nibble out the opening for a snap-in
jack in a square/rectangular piece of 0.062" aluminum, FR-4,
etc., then drill 4
mounting holes at its corners, a clearance hole in the ABS
box for the rear of the jack, mounting holes for the panel,
and put the thing together with machine screws?

I think he found a solution with this little fellah

Yup. Already ordered.

Now if I could only find some 7mm x 12mm proto board :-(

.28 inch by .47 inch ?


I found an ancient piezo "ringer" schematic, converted it to
74HCxxx
and added gating. Simulates per the typical tone frequencies,
so that looks good....

And I'm close on the processing logic to answer/hang-up on
800-number callers.

Aaaargh!

John Fields, make that 7cm x 12cm :-(

For when you run low on freebies

Been there already. It's phenolic :-(

Yes. What's wrong with phenolic in this application?


In the future I may just layout a smaller version of my IC
breadboard scheme and get it made on one of the PCB websites.

...Jim Thompson

In my Dad's TV shop I saw so many phenolic failures I'm just
resistant


I had one phenolic board with a 1/2" hole burnt through it, in the
early '70s. The OEM couldn't supply a replacement board, so I filled
the hole with Bondo, and replaced the missing traces with scraps of
copper foil that I peeled off junk mainframe computer boards.

Sno-o-o-ort! That's so funny (and real) I'm laughing so hard I crying
;-)

...Jim Thompson

You laugh all you want ! I've done similar where the scan coil
connector has burnt holes in the PCB because of bad solder joints.
Cut away the burnt area and used Araldite to fill the hole sandwiched
between strips of wax paper. Replace the connector and use copper wire
the re-establish the connections.
