Review on Nine 3 5Mm Stereo Panel Connector by Jay Aukuso

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for jacks and adapters so far

I'm very interested in electronics and at the moment I'm consuming these things like candy in an intensive development of a project or two. In the past I've always had 3, Used 5mm square plugs in a plastic case but lately I've found it difficult to find good quality plugs Then I found these and I still *love* them The two best parts of them are: 1) They have a metal body from the threads to the exit of the connectors, which makes them very strong, and 2) the surface where the threads end and the body begins is nice and flat, which eliminates problems with mounting instability.No problems with bad connectors, loose connectors, bad contact, torn threads, etc. all the issues I've had with the other type, note I haven't had them long enough to know how they hold up over the long term, but a lot of my projects are used outdoors so I should find out pretty quickly. If I have something new to report I'll come back and add, but for now I'm very happy with Rick NR417

Pros
  • 1/4" hole mounts
