JLM DI Input Jack (with switch) Source

Post by Greg »

hey Joe and JLM:

I'm on the hunt for some DI jacks similar to the ones in your DI. I haven't had any success finding these anywhere in the states.

Would you mind telling who makes those jacks and where you get them?

Thanks !

If you can live with panel rather than PCB mounting, Jaycar has DPDT switching 6.5mm sockets: Part PS0182

Thanks, but this part is needed to fit an existing PCB. I've found several parts that fit the spec, but not the footprint.

You will be much better off fitting the DI with a jack like Chrisp suggested where you have a DPDT on the switch but not PCB board mounted. The jack with the DI is not very deep and can be easily stripped when placed on a panel. I have done it before. I'd suggest an external jack that you wire up to the PCB board and affix the PCB board in a different manner.

agreed... i've always used a separate jack myself. i really like the quality of the cliff brand ones. you can get them insulated with the chrome nut and they look quite spiffy.

i think i just drilled a 3mm hole in the pcb and mounted it to the case. wired the jack with a little bit of shielded cable...

if you really want the EXACT jack socket joe uses i guess you'll have to wait to hear from him. i don't think i've seen it in any catalogs i have. i've seen similar ones in various bits of gear - i guess it's a common part in asia but not here?

good luck!
