I am trying to find a good quality connector to use with my RIAA preamp.
It has to be a side-by-side design and preferably can be panel secured.
A UK/EU supplier would be best for me.
I bought one through ebay but it turned out to be a bit cheap and nasty!
Thanks
Peter

I had checked out RS but I couldn't find any stereo pairs that had a panel fix!
Same for Farnell and Mouser

Pcb mounting and panel fixing? some have a small self tapping screw hole in the middle to secure to panel
Yes that is the type. In the past I have tapped the hole, usually plastic, and use a machine screw for a positive fix.
The problem I haven't found a stereo pair of quality.

I have checked Ebay but after my last purchase I am now wary.
It is for a kit home build, a Muffsy phono preamp. I have integrated it into my PreAmp box and because of available space and its screening box I needed a more compact solution than the standard.

To be honest I've yet to come across a quality, robust pcb mounting rca socket, I use proper panel mounting ones, I don't know what to suggest other than try and find space, or maybe use a different kind of connector...think outside the box as it were
Thanks....... I think!
I am beginning to think I will have to compromise, change to two singles, try a different connector design, or something. I just don't like the idea of very low level signals entering a box and then running through cables between two different connectors.
Just my hang up I guess.

If the case is screened and you use screen cable inside that's not a problem. If they are short runs of wire, tightly twisting them might be simpler
Maybe not what you're looking for, but have you seen these on eBay?

I bought a pair to check them out and the seem to be well built. You would have to design them into you're pcb.

Thanks everyone.
I like those Ebay items George, not made as a pair but they do have a mechanical panel fix.
Worth a punt, as we say here!

Yes, those look pretty decent, let us know what they're like if you go for them. It looks like they are insulated from the chassis in a neat way due to their construction
