I have a couple wall warts here that have 5.5/2.5/12mm plugs. The common jacks around here are 5.5/2.5/9mm. My wallwarts work with these, but the 3mm of plug hanging out always bothers me. Does anyone know of any decent jacks that will fit properly? Isolated would be nice, but isn't a requirement. Thanks.

I couldn't find them either so I just heatshrinked the excess. Good luck on finding some and if you do post here!

The exposed part of the plug should be ground anyway. Unless there's a considerable threat with shorting to the case which could be at different potential I don't think it's worth worrying about. Anyway aren't they normally on the back of equipment anyway
