ok, so who wants one? I will enquire about it, doesn't seem to be individual prices. It looks like they usually supply connectors in bulk to other large manufacturers.

@X-Ray

Is it suitable for you?

@alexh

Thanks!

This does not look good from the FAQ:

What is your MOQ?

There is no min. quantity limited. But ask the min. order amount should be US$4,000./per shipment. Otherwise, we have to charge you extra money of US$150.- to cover our handling charge.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM :'(

Alexh, does your friend know if a very small order, say 1-5, can be placed, as he recommend the site?

alexh · 09 May 2007, 13:36

I'll ask if I can get a couple of samples

Great find, guys...but be sure to measure the RCA plug side of the connector. Nowhere do I see measurements of that side, and it is the most important one!

The measurements of the RCA plugsize are on all of these schematics.

@alexh

Actually, XRay is right.

The connect-tech website does offer the dimensions. The standard RCA centre pin diameter is 3.175+/-0.05, mini RCA is *either* 2.35+/-0.05 or 1.7+/-0.05.

The website your friend recommended does not indicate the diameter of the centre pin, although it looks like the 2.35 one, but not sure.

Can anyone measure what the Paloma requires for the centre pin size? Looks like the 2.35 one but we should probably confirm it.

Okay I measured the little RCA jack on the Paloma.

The diameter of the jack is 6.35mm. That's definitely accurate.
I can't get proper access to the hole, but the diameter of the hole is between 2.2 and 2.9mm
This means we need a plug with an inside diameter of about 6.4mm and a central pin of about 2.5mm.

The internal diameter according to the linked pdf is 6.1mm. The external diameter according to xray's pics is 7.75mm.

On the connect-tech website (*not alexh friend's mind you*) looks like the internal diameter of 6.1mm+/-0.1 is not big enough according to you saying it requires 6.35mm. And your approx centre pin measurement is slightly bigger by the same amount. Off by 0.15-0.25mm. Maybe you have overestimated the measurements? VERY small differences.

wtf, is there many types and sizes of min RCA....

X-ray · 11 May 2007, 08:38

No, my friend, that outside measurement of the jack is exact, because I can get a digital caliper around it. There is no doubt about it, it is 6.35mm. I can't get an exact measurement of the hole though.
