[sdiy] 1/4" Switchcraft style jacks still available

[Bruce Duncan]

I still have loads of those jacks for sale.

I made a purchase of 1000 jacks from Taiwan company Lih Sheng recently.
The jacks look and feel are almost identical to the switchcraft 
112A  Hi-D JAX switching jack.

The part is here

LJ-0695-3TS version


The differences are:

1/These a metric so fit into a 9mm (0.355") hole. This is only .020" 
smaller than the standard 3/8" hole size so will work with the larger hole
Despite having metric threaded collar they are still 1/4" and work 
with all standard 1/4" phone plugs.
Matching nuts and washers are included

2/The nut and washer are not as nicely finished as the Switchcraft 
parts but unless you compare side by side it is hard to tell on the nut.
The washer is a bit different but does the job.

3/ These are PC mount but also have a hole in the leg for point to 
point wiring. They are good if you need both but don't want to 
purchase separate
PC mount and solder lug versions.

The price is $0.50 each +shipping by USPS and would prefer if people 
interested would purchase in quantities of 100 or more.
The Switchcraft parts are $1.50 from Digikey @ 100 peices.

These are good high quality jacks and will be of interest to people 
looking for cheaper parts for DIY or designs with lots of jacks like 
mixers or sequencers etc.
