Repair or design your very own audio cables with these nice and durable phono-jack connectors. This is a great jack to make your own 1/4″ stereo cable with. it’s made out of durable metal with a flexible, sturdy spring for strain-relief. Just solder the connector to some wires and you have a DIY audio cable that can rival the best!
This item is a 1/4″ Stereo Jack. These are larger than the common 3.5″ (1/8″) plugs/jacks, and are more often found in pro-audio. It pairs well with our 1/4″ (6.35mm) DIY Stereo Plug if you want to make two cables that plug into each other.
