Where to get 3.5 mm 4 pole jack with tip switch?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Hi, does anyone know where can I get 3.5 mm 4 pole jack with tip switch? It seems every iPod has one but I just can't find them on the market.

This is the only one I have found on my hunt. I haven't had any experience with it, and am still hoping that Neutrik, Canare or Switchcraft make a 4 conductor themself.

4 Conductor 3.5mm Plug - TRRS (from Markertek)

iPhone Pinouts

Thought this might be useful, the iPhone pinouts for the 4 poles.

In case anyone is hunting for an answer to this question, I just spent some time looking around and here is what i have found:
Showmecables.com has a sexy metal one for ~$4.15 but they are out of stock at the moment:
4 CONDUCTOR 3.5mm PLUG - Metal Housing | ShowMeCables

you can also get a plastic one from them for ~$3.45:
4 CONDUCTOR 3.5mm PLUG | ShowMeCables

Mouser also sells a plastic one for $2.02
171-7435-EX

and Newark has another sexy metal one for $0.90 but if you aren't in the UK they send it through their sister company farnell and you get charged a $20 fee
PRO SIGNAL|PSG01500|PLUG, 3.5MM JACK, METAL, 4POLE | Newark.com

hopefully they bring some stock of that newark one to the US eventually

Farnell can supply these as well including a right angle jack and straight socket, they will send to New Zealand which same other companies won't. They also have branches in Australia and UK.
