Plugs but no jacks
Everybody sells 3.5mm plugs but nobody sells 3.5mm jack that you can
mount and solder wires to. Is there a source? Most dealers don't even know the difference. -- All is as it is. |

Search on "stereo headphone jack pcb" on eBay. You will find plenty of people selling them "buy it now" (outright sale, not an auction). In my experience the vendors from Hong Kong that include the postage in the price sell decent quality and ship via registered mail. Still it pays to look carefully at what is being sold, there are all kinds of quality, mounting options, etc. If you are in the US or UK, you might want to try Farnell. Farnell sells almost everywhere in the world, but they have $35 mininum SHIPPING CHARGE in some places. They sell many grades of quality, none are the out of spec junk sold at DIY stores, flea markets, etc. Note that shipping from EU countries (including the UK) is relatively cheap and reliable. Shipping from the US to other countries is slow and unreliable. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S. Mendelson N3OWJ/4X1GM Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to misquote it. |

Plugs but no jacks
It's likely that the naming of the jack is different when listed by
different suppliers. You don't say where you're located, or where you've tried to find them. In the U.S. that Shack store sells them.. I've bought both the 1/8" mini (3.5mm) and the 3/32" submini (2.4?mm) sizes there in recent months. The two styles of 1/8" size stereo phone jacks are p/n 274-0246 and 274-0249 (they might also have mono jacks). The jacks can be described various ways.. Mini phone jack (not related to telephone) Phone jack Headphone/headset jack Earphone jack Audio jack, mini audio jack 1/8" mini jack Mini TRS jack (stereo) -- Cheers, WB ..............

I buy these by the 100 and use them frequently. Not really esoteric. Even have a customer-designed product that I had to source a jack with a small-pattern mounting nut to fit a machined pocket. It was about .010" smaller across the flats than the ones I'd been buying. Your use of "everybody" and "nobody" seem a tad hyperbolic. |

Salvage some from old modems or PC sound cards ! Wow. I'm still getting them from radios and portable tvs. I'm 3 ahead now of the number I've used. |

I see Schurter also makes inline jacks, which I haven't seen IRL for years and years. |

I've tins full of salvaged parts... The sad thing is that most if not all of them will end up being thrown away as rubbish ! Probably by my children after I pass on. :-( -- Best Regards: Baron. |
