Re: a bunch of right angle connectors

I did a bunch of looking around and these seemed to be the best I could
find with a good price and reasonable shipping. I am sure if you order
in bulk from them they would adjust the price accordingly.

Caveat Emptor:
you need to be careful of quality. I recall a writeup (maybe in QST)
about using poor choice of wire inside the angle connector having effect
on signal or lost of signal.
The gist of it was, you get what you paid ....

Re: a bunch of right angle connectors

In reply to this post by roncasa

Yes, junk cables and junk connectors are everywhere, including almost
all of the vendors who sell to hams and advertise in QST. Note also
that the two links here are for ADAPTERS between 2.5mm and 3.5mm
connectors. The connector used in the K3 and on nearly all mics and
headphones is a 3.5 mm (1/8-in, approximately) jack/plug. The smaller
2.5mm connector is typically used for remote controls, and on some
VHF/UHF talkies for either mic or headphones.

The good connector manufacturers are Switchcraft, Neutrik, and
Amphenol. Switchcraft and Neutrik audio connectors can be purchased
online from very good vendors like Full Compass, which is where I buy
them. Part numbers are in my RFI tutorial and also in the Ham
Interfacing pdf, both at http://audiosystemsgroup.com/publish.htm You
will have to use a soldering iron.
