1590A jacks

[copachino]

i have builded a small booster a SHO with rullywow layout, but i see many people that build with larger pcbs, like a zero point micro, but in my experience. i cant fit switchcraft open frame jacks and leave enpug space up for the pcb, i tried that  on my SHO and was a real fail, because when i plug the cable it gets grounded and its really hard the un-plug, now i want to fit a cavedeweller, but again open frame jacks are too big, i see mad beans uses some low profile jacks, but link on small bear its dead, any sugestions??

Check out the MB Baby Board Guide at http://www.madbeanpedals.com/downloads/BabyBoardGuide.pdf.  I haven't tried one of the baby boards in a 1590A yet, but I'm considering it.

I see the document link to Small Bear's site for low-profile, stereo PC mount jacks is broken, but there are three options on their Neutrik page: http://www.smallbearelec.com/servlet/Categories?category=Plugs%2C+Jacks%2C+Fittings%3ANeutrik

The document link to Mouser's site still works: http://ca.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=NRJ4HFvirtualkey56810000virtualkey550-10284

Hope that helps.

I like standard sized enclosed jacks for 1590a builds.  I use three different manufacturers:

- Switchcraft
- Neutrik
- Amphenol

I just recently got the Amphenol for the first time.  The cool thing about those is that they have sharp flanges that dig into the enclosure as you tighten the nut.  This is helpful since there isn't room for a lock washer on a 1590a build.

Small Bear and the big guys if they work for you. Part #111 if you're searching  out the Switchcraft.

i got some cheap i bought at my country, and when i was locking the jack it breaks, so i think those cheapo are really bad, but the boss ones are the same but better quality

I use these in all my builds, and they are perfect for 1590A enclosures.
