390715 2005-09-25 09:18:00 I've been hunting around for ages for either:

1x 2.5mm Stereo Jack Inline Socket
or
1x 2.5mm Stereo Jack Socket to 3.5mm Stereo Jack Plug adaptor

I thought I found one at DSe the other day, but after buying it and soldering everything else up for my particular device, I discovered that it was only mono socket, rather than stereo (adaptor).

Anyone know where I can get one of these? I've had a look at Surplustronics and Jaycar as well.

Do these actually exist (in NZ)?

390716 2005-09-25 09:35:00 Does it have to be "in line" ? DSE have a 2.5mm stereo panel socket Cat#P1222.

Possibly you could modify this for your purpose.

I suppose with a bit of heatshrink, it won't look too bad when used inline.

390720 2005-09-26 03:59:00 dse (dse.co.nz/) have a 3.5 mm line socket listed as Cat No P1238 for $1.54, but I see when I look again, that you want a 2.5 mm socket. :(
The adapters are available at DSE and Jaycar..

390721 2005-09-26 06:07:00 I would have said try looking at those $2 nick nack shops, but the plugs I got are MONO bob_doe_nz (92)

Unfortunately they only have Mono 2.5 to Stereo 3.5, rather than Stereo 2.5 to Stereo 3.5.

DSE do have a Stereo to Stereo, but it goes the wrong way - ie. 3.5 Socket to a 2.5 Plug.

390723 2005-09-26 07:19:00 Jaycar PA3536 is 3.5 stereo plug to 2.5 stereo socket. Have I got it right, at last? :D Graham L (2)

Brilliant. Thanks Graham - just what I was looking for.
