So the 3.5mm jack connector in my Phillips Fidelio X1s broke. I managed to dissect the thing, only to realise that I don't know exactly what I'm doing. I am specifically having problems figuring out how to find a jack connector that can replace the broken one.
 
You can see what it looks like below. A simple audio connector with Left, right and ground, mounted on a circuit board:

1. Is there any way to find that exact jack connector, so it matches the circuit board? (From a site inside EU, maybe http://www.mouser.dk/?)
2. Or is buying a new jack connector and circuit board a possibility? Taking into consideration that screw holes and such have to match?

 
If any other specifications are needed, I have a camera and a digital caliper at my disposal.
 
And thanks.

bump?

I can only see two possibilities...one is to contact the manufacturer and hope they will sell you one/offer to repair, or try to DIY a more readily available 3.5 that will need to be installed by you in a "best fit" scenario.

yikes... that looks pretty proprietary... hmm  I think you should contact phillips support and see if they can provide you with a replacement part..
 
 
otherwise.. might be time for modding??
 
 
I AM NOT AT ALL SURE THESE WOULD WORK... but maybe ???

I'm gonna contact Phillips in hopes that they have the part. They most likely won't have, so I am considering modding it too.
 
Would there be any issues in soldering the wires directly onto a jack socket? As in not using the circuit board at all.
 
What glue could I use to hold the thing in place, so that it can withstand being plugged/unplugged?

No.
Is a panel mount jack going to fit in there?
For example Mouser # 490-SJ5-43502PM

Hmm, a screw is a good idea, but I don't think it would fit. The hole is only 5.3 mm in diameter.
 
The currenct Jack socket housing is around 6 x 6 x 14 mm.
 
EDIT: I've decided to just drill the hole bigger and maybe use one of these:

1. 161-7400-EX
2. 4832.2300
3. 161-3402-E (has the shortest lenght)

 
Does impedance matter?

 

[Masterofcakes]

After several days searching for the OEM product, I finally found it: PJ3549.
Too bad you are required to make a min. order of 10.000 pieces.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around ordering 9.999 pieces too many?

Any luck on finding a replacement, or at the very least, replacing with a non-standard part? Curious to see what route you took.
