My Redco stuff ships from Connecticut.
Got a question re: the Switchcraft 35HDBAU vs. the 35HDBAUS. Even Switchcraft's own site links to the same data sheet (http://www.switchcraft.com/Drawings/35hd_series_cd.pdf), but the product page (http://www.switchcraft.com/ProductSummary.aspx?Parent=427) lists this difference:
- 3.5MM (1/8" mini) Stereo Plug, gold finger, black handle, 0.290" cable diameter
- 3.5MM (1/8" mini) Stereo Plug, gold finger, black handle, 0.175" cable diameter
I'm going to make a cable for the Philips X2s, and while I doubt I'll find a plug as small as the one they use, I'd like to get close. The Switchcraft looks nice, isn't too expensive, and has a flat barrel top (where the plug comes out), as opposed to Rean and Amphenol, which are slightly tapered. I have an Amphenol KS3PB-AU, so I've a good idea of the size. The Switchcraft is about one millimeter wider, but I can live with that.
My question is about the overall diameter of the 35HDBAU vs. the 35HDBAUS. I'd guess they use the same barrel, except the 35HDBAUS has a narrower opening.
But if its diameter is smaller, I'd be willing to give it a whirl. I'll be using three wires from a Mogami W2799, sleeved in black and braided. Heat shrink will have to hold it all in place, as I'm fairly certain the paracord will be left outside the housing.
Any thoughts? Any other 3.5 mm plugs you'd recommend that are $10 or less?
TIA.
