1590a Jacks

[chromesphere]

Hey guys,

Just wondering what sort of jacks you use when mounting a pcb ABOVE in/out jacks in a 1590a?  What am i talking about?  Probably easier if i just point to an example.  Jons a Bearhug of very little brain:

Just wondering what type of jack you would need to to clear that board ontop? Will any switchcraft open style jack fit? 
Cheers

Check out these: http://www.banzaimusic.com/Marshall-1-4-jack-PC-mount-mono.html
Most people use the stereo version found at small bear but they were out of stock last time I checked. There are other options but these are the most compact. If you look on the madbean project page Brian gas a 1590A baby board doc that has links to another option from snall bear, but like I said, these are better. Hope this helps!

Cheers stomptown for the info.
hmmm. ok so it is a specific jack thats needed for this.  Those marshall 1/4 look really compact!  $7 each though is very pricey...I'll dig around some more, thanks again for the info.

You can get 50 of them for $12 on ebay. They're from China, but the quality is really good. I've been using them with no issues.

Aha!  It seems the magic keyword search in ebay is "1/4 headphone pcb".  Thanks for the other links guys, but alas, im geographically handicapped and can not order from mouser, small bear, or most other international retailers.  It blows...

Standard Switchcraft/Neutrik enclosed jacks still leave enough room for the PCB (unless there are huge components such as big 1 uF film caps); Juansolo and pickdropper have been using them in a number if 1590A builds. But yes, the smaller enclosed jacks are your best bet if you need to fit bigger components.

There is also the Neutrik NRJ6 series: http://fr.mouser.com/_/?Keyword=NRJ6&FS=True Only 12.7 mm high, 15.7 mm wide, fully threaded nose (not necessarily better, but I don't like jacks that protrude too much), and they're cheap.

I think the listing where I got em ended. I'll try to find the seller and search their store for another listing.

After looking at my purchase history this is the same seller. Just priced a few dollars more.

Those noses are a bit fuggly :-| Oh well, should be good enough for a few (25) builds.

I think Pickdropper uses standard enclosed jacks for his 1590A builds...
