I'm building a little module to go along with the Doepfer ones in my rack here, and I'm desperately trying to find PCB straight mount 3.5mm jack sockets with a thread. They seem common enough on modules, but utterly impossible to find. I want to mount the PCB parallel with the front panel, but 99% of the 3.5mm sockets on the market seem to demand a PCB perpendicular to the thing. Anyone any ideas? thanks, J.

Just add a jack PCB to your board design. Use right angle 0.1" headers to attach to main PCB.

I've been searching for this as well. The practical advantage of doing a single board with all knobs, jacks and switches on the same surface is massive just in terms of reduced wiring, imo. The best I've come across is this [1] style - which is switched (nice) but has the ground connector off the side (ouch). It may be the same as, or similar to, toby electonics UJ-3506. See also Lumberg 1502 03 [2], and Kycon ST-3002-3NM. I'd be interested to hear of other solutions. In particular, I'd quite like to know what jack doepfer uses e.g. in A-111-5, and where (or if) they may be sourced in small quantities by mere mortals. /m [2] http://uk.farnell.com/lumberg/1502-03/socket-3-5mm-jack-chassis/dp/1270966

Hi Jim, Try these http://erthenvar.com/store/eurodiy/JACK35MMV - they sell hex and round nuts separately. First batch I used had a 10% failure rate but they have changed suppliers since and I've been assured they are 100% ok. Also very cheap at $30 inc nuts for 100 qty.

Os, thanks, awesome. No thread though? I'm going slowly crazy trying to track them down! If I don't go with a thread I'm going to have to do some other re-enforcing of the panel to the PCB which is a shame. Thank you though! J.

All, thanks enormously! I have some options now. Gur at tiptop also suggested this source. http://ec.lihsheng.com.tw/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=38&products_id=88&osCsid=e0b00cd4936cedb4aa4292d1b59da566 On 14 Feb 2012, at 20:57, andy butler wrote: > http://cpc.farnell.com/ > > I bought some with thread from there > > (for Dark Energy hack) > > andy > > Jim Credland wrote: > > > > > > Os, thanks, awesome.
