dc power jack for wah shell?

space-cake · 2nd October 2006, 02:48 PM

i want to retrofit a dc power jack to an old vox wah pedal and was looking for a quality metal dc jack that would fit into the shell. anyone knows about some part like that from mouser? it got to be isolated or it would short out with negative tip and metal input\ouput jacks.

Problem is finding a metal jack that is insulated. I use plastic connectors all the time and frankly don't find them particularly less reliable. Also, the walls of the wah pedal are thick, so the jack has to have a long enough body to clear the wall thivkness and leave therads for the nut.

These seem like good candidates to me, same part with two sizes of center pin. Mouser web sote ought to have a data sheet on them. I didn't look.

Mouser 163-4302-EX or 163-4303-EX
