Any chance you could post some detail pics of the Paillics insides?

And.. how would that be useful? You'd just see a ground, left and right signal lead

Different 3.5mm have different ways of connecting to the wires. It may not be the most useful of information, but it certainly has it's place in this thread (read the last couple pages), so I'm not sure what the problem is.

I traded a pair of Ultimate Ears Cables with a guy in Singapore. Apparently, they can just go down to Jaben or other electronics dealers in the area and buy them off the shelf. I have an email into Jaben asking about being a source but Uncle has not responded. ( He does take a while, usually)


Let us know. If nothing else, I'd be interesting in buying a dozen or two in a group buy.

Here's a couple of pics of the Paliccs inside and the end of the Paliccs as well The other 3.5 in the foreground with the Palics is the threaded one from Qables that is for the Ultrasones cable. As you can see, they are very similar in solder pattern. I've already melted three of the threaded 3.5's trying to do a custom Ultrasone cable and they have no casing or stress relief. I think that they were manufactured strictly to be encased in injection molded plastic or rubber

Edit: Thepalics is about the largest opening of the 3.5's which is good for bigger guage cables

Still no response form Uncle Wislon at Jaben. Maybe if some of you others email him with interest, he may think about stocking up maybe doing a group order.


PM me his email and I'll give it a shot.

Pailiccs makes only a 3.5 stereo and a 6.3 mono plug. I checked when I was trading the UE cable for a dozen of them.

So I was lucky enough to receive a Pailicc from a benefactor who will remain nameless (unless he would like otherwise) to avoid people begging him for plugs. The opening diameter is sufficient for W2893 plus some techflex or nylon sleeve. It is one sharp looking plug. I've constructed an LOD with it and I'll get some pics of the internals up shortly.

Thanks Juaquin, but I don't have extras left anyway so until we can bulk order some we're out of luck.(not trying to hijack the thread but I thought this would be a good question to ask) I was wondering if you had any pointers on soldering the dock connector terminals? I've tried removing the pins first, then soldering and heat shrink, but then I just can't seem to get the pins to stay back in place once I put the connector back together. Is there some sort of push on device similar to a telephone terminal block tool, that pushes the wire onto the pin instead of soldering.

and yes, the neutrik plug is truly built like a tank, and could easily be used to beat wild animals into submission.



Sounds like a cold solder joint. When you solder, be sure both the connector and wire are hot enough that the solder flows on both. If the solder "leaks" onto the connector side it's hot enough (like when the wire gets hot enough the solder gets sucked into it). It's easy to tell afterwards if you can yank the wire off; a good solder joint is mechanically sound and will stay stuck.
