so I got these hoping to find an alternative to those giant plastic ones. These are metal with the long shaft and plastic washers. Usually when I have to use the metal one I teflon the threads so it doesn't ground. Anywho. These... Semi work (for me) for somereason the 2.1mm boss style plugs are slightly off the size of the metal jacks. And if you move the pedal or bump it you have to adjust the plug. It's such a pain in the ass. Before, the teflon solved the prob but it didn't w these. Can anyone shed some light on what might be goin on?
Can you post pics of what you mean Grant? Maybe seeing it will give me an idea of what you're saying.

some jacks require long barrels on the cords plug. that's the casew with the new ones from sb. they are deeper than the plastic lobs we usually use.
I recently bought some Lumberg 1614-09's from Banzai. Really small, plastic body (mounts with a metal nut, but that don't matter!), looks to be ideal: http://www.banzaimusic.com/Lumberg-PSU-1614-09.html (http://www.banzaimusic.com/Lumberg-PSU-1614-09.html)
Don't know if you can get them outside of europe, but I think Banzai ships international...

sorry jacob, I haven't figured out how to do the whole pic thing from a phone.. Yet. Once I do I will always put pics. But the other dude had it right. It's a new jack from small bear w/ long shaft and rubber washer. I didn't think about the long plugs..

I use and recommend these where a battery isnt required.
dude, is there anywhere I can order those in the states? Those look perfect. I don't wanna buy overseas if I don't have to.. For a dc jack atleast
Sorry to dig up an old-ish thread, but I got some of these DC jacks and I want to make sure that I connect them properly as not to fry my freshly minted Collasallus. There is a longer terminal and a shorter terminal—I believe the longer term is + and shorter is ground. Can anyone confirm!
Thanks!

After a bit of searching I was able to find those in the States! They are definitely the smallest ones I have found and my personal favorite (you cannot use a battery though). They are a bit expensive though. I was thinking this would be a group buy item, but even at 250 they are still almost $1 a piece. Maybe we could talk them down... Here is a link:

I'd be in for at least 30 if you do a group buy ;)

Yes, the short terminal is ground and the longer one is 9V+.
I had some of those lumbergs, or maybe just the same style. But the pin in the centre was very slightly thinner than normal. So they didn't connect too well, had to replace about 10 of them :( Let me know if those ones are good, and i'll get myself some!

Jameco also has their own version of the Lumbergs.
On the Lumberg data sheet, the center pin is listed as only 2.0 mm, which is odd since 2.1mm is the standard.
I've been thinking of putting in an order for a few of these:

There we go, except i got all angry and smashed one to measure the pin, and it was less, pain in the ass!
I'm buying mine from Banzai, as mentioned in my earlier post, and have had no problems with them. They are one of the reasons I place an order with them now and then (that, and their ridiculously large selection of IC's!)
Paul
just looked on that site and the diameter is listed as 2.0mm, when i used those, they were fine, unless you rgilled them, the circuit wouldn't go off, but crackle..

Really? That's no bueno! I'll have to mess with some of my builds and see if I will be having any issues. I have about 8 more of those in my stock. Ugh! :( The ones from Bitcheslovemyswitches claim to be 2.1 and are way cheaper than the lumbergs so maybe I'll have to try some of those...
Bonzai lists those jacks as 2.1 mm center pin so maybe we should let them know that they are actually 2mm...
Mine were (accidentally) the 2.5mm version. Fortunately I got a new power supply unit that has a variety of plugs so I can use them now. They seem to fit snugly...

Well, I double checked the data sheet and it does seem to say 2.0mm.
For what it's worth, I've used them with no issues at all. I need to actually measure the pin to see where it is at. My calipers won't fit and I don't feel like cross-sectioning one, so I will have to measure it some other way.

I'm wondering if the European 9VDC plugs are more sensitive to the .1mm difference than the ones I buy here in the U.S. because I've never had an issue either. Just a thought...

If you're in Canada Electrosonic stock them, (also great prices on Hammond enclosures), they do ship to the states. Have a local, literally, dad and daughter electronics shop that also stock them, not cheap there but in a pinch...
