Anyone know what Mini-plug this is?  I'm looking for something as close to this low profile and 90 degrees for a DIY mini-mini.  Any help is appreciated.  
 
Plus a link to some smaller ferrites might be nice also.
 
Thanks again.

Thanks, I was actually eyeballing those but I'm afraid they are about 40% taller than the one in the image.  The image height ends about where the casting line starts on the Switchcraft plug.

That is a molded right-angle plug.  You can't buy them, they're machine-molded to whatever spec the manufacturer requested.

Crikey.  Thanks.  I guess there is nothing DIY with a similar profile then.

A lot of people just modify the Neutrik or Switchcraft ones.  You can often forgo the body or trim it away, just solder everything up and then cover it with some glueshrink, although it may not look quite as round as this.  In the end, most cables to portable phones are machine made like this just because it makes them as compact as possible and still extremely durable.
