Didn't someone find a source of the mini RCA connectors a while back?

It was me Scott, they dont have the right angle ones unless you order in 1000 or more quantities. if you order some I'll take 20 or so. Very Happy

http://www.Connect-Tech-Products.com/index1.php?subtype=Mini%20Phono/RCA%20Plugs&id=16

I ordered the straight ones with the longer necks and just bent them.

CTP-175-7A



These are the right angle ones, they have a hole in the side to put the leads into, you need to order 1000
last time i asked.

CTP-175-10A


I paid 25 bucks for 15 of the ones listed above.

I have some here still, I never made a complete set of cables but plan to.

they also have the Sockets, I came across another maker in my recent research but never booked marked it Sad those were SMD mount style though sockets not through hole so not as robust.

Hey Scott. I was reading this thread and just realized what your user name stands for. I always though it was some technical abbreviation. Smile

I'll leave that to Scott if he so chooses. It would be bad form for me to post.

I am not sure if these will work for what you are doing, but here are some:

These are F-Conn which are very good connectors:
http://www.icmcorp.net/F-ConnGoldSeries.htm
http://mccartenco.net/home.php?cat=111

I forgot my info about this companies connectors, so I am not sure how good they are:
http://www.techtoolsupply.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=313

Here is ADC's connectors. I am not sure if they have any minis in the lineup:
https://www-wsp.adc.com/ecom/catalog/hierDisplay.do?NODE=OND63699

Here is Liberty over at Ram. I think they are related to F-Conn, but again I can't remember:
http://www.ramelectronics.net/liberty-wire-and-cable/compression-connectors-and-tools/c90022-c90322-p1.html?sorter=productname-en-asc

If you can't find what you need from these links or need more info, then call McCarten (second link). I talked to the owner a couple of years ago and he is a very nice guy. Someone here also used to deal with them and liked them a lot.

I did get some of the CTP-175-10A connectors, bought all they had left. I made up some sets of cables for guys who wanted them. Don't have any left.

Really wanted the right angle ones as well, but, was not about to order 1000 of em as I was told also.

Also, you have to make sure you get the ones with the 1.7mm posts.

Personally, I've never liked those mini RCAs. I know there's a desire to mainain compatibility with the large installed base of Marquees, but I'd like to see a much better connector system in place. I've had video signals drop out due to bad connectors and cables.

I'm seriously tempted to retrofit a set of neck boards and a VIM with SMA or SMB connectors and matching cables. Maybe SMB snap-ons.

Heck, as far as I'm concerned, Electrohome should have used BNCs right from the very start.
