The title say it all. I'd look and look and I can't find any good quality 3.5mm jack. What do you guy use? only 1/4" ones?

Thanks

The first kind of look like those from Radio Shack. I guess I am hoping for some that's more solid and similar to the build quality of 1/4" jack from Neutrik.

I've used CP-3505 and CP-3523SJ from Digikey and they seem to withstand a great deal of abuse (e.g. having a dual RCA to 3.5mm adapter and heavy Silver Lace cable hanging off them one day, headphones another, and hundreds of plugs and unplugs without problems, even though they don't look so tough. If you look at specs for Neutrik's PCB mount jacks, they don't specify any more insertions than those cheaper plugs and further they don't look quite as tough as the now legendary big chassis mount ones.
