Just curious what people are using for cable mounted 3.5mm and 1/4" Stereo jacks? I need to make a couple little short adaptor cables... basically a 90* 3.5mm over to either a 3.5mm jack, or 1/4" jack that i can plug a set of headphones into.

I scoured the usual sources and couldent track anything down... mouser, newark, digikey... even checked the switchcraft, and neutrik product guides and couldent find any....

Also it needs to fit on 1/4" cable (0.25")

Thanks.

Thanks for the links!

Also can anyone suggest any other high grade connectors that might fit the bill? Since it doesent look like the neutrik 1/4" TRS comes in black/gold contacts. Nor the switchcrafts.

The Neutrik 3.5mm jack does have black/gold.

The 1/4" jack has black housing but only silver contact. Not a big deal though cos you can't see whether it's gold and silver from the outside.

Yeah i saw the Neutrik 3.5mm right after i made the post, though that 1/4" locking jack looks HUGE for what i need. Not sure if i want to add that much bulk to the cable as it will be connected to a phone/mp3 player.

Yeah, the Neutrik 1/4" jack is pretty big and the locking mechanism is PITA to work with. So far I haven't seen a better choice than the Switchcraft 1/4" jack.
