  Hey guys, 
 
I need a 3.5mm plug that would fit into a lifeproof Iphone case anyone got any suggestions? thanks.
 



 
I like using these from PlusSound for devices with cases, they're nice and slim at the tip. (the first connector on the page)

Here's a small version of the Viablue 3.5mm connectors. They're a little more pricey but they look nice and the build quality is great in all the Viablue connectors I've used.

Skip the cheap ones. The end is really small. Fitting 3 cables into the end is a tight fit. Ended up scraping the cable and causing shorts. I bought 4, used 1 and threw away the rest. Amphenol makes some too that I like. A lot easier to work with and nicer looking.

  OH man that looks great. Is the new jack much shinier than the older ones? And also, how was working with the Pistons? Did you crack them open and solder directly onto the driver or did you just cut the cable and solder wire to wire?

thanks its like a greyish shiny finish
compares to the old black style amphenol
i cracked them open. they come apart pretty easy

I'm attempting to solder a new plug onto my SteelSeries Flux In-Ears, but I'm not sure which wires to solder where.

The IEMs have a microphone, and I have four wires: copper, red/green striped, red, green (in that order - the cable is flat).

My plug is the Neutrik NTP3RC-B, though - a TRS connector. I know that I won't get the in-line mic/button working, but which cable is likely to be which? If I had to guess I'd say red = right, green = left, red/green = mic, so I can cut away the red/green.

Those are made for larger cables mostly, they have quite a few options including a couple that fit smaller cables. It's best to check the measurements before ordering.

Sorry my apology!I mean a RCA Y adapters..........
