Does anyone know where to buy an audio jack specifically designed to be used with breadboards? As in they have that standard pin spacing? I've searched digikey and stuff and I could only find jacks with tabs, not pins. I don't want to have to destroy an audio cable just to prototype. Thanks.

I reckon you mean a RCA phono plug ? or do you mean small 3.5mm jack plug ? |

Or a dead CD or Cassette player.
If you are talking RCA jacks, find jacks on a small piece of pc board, and add some solid wires to it. PLug the wires into your breadboard, rather than looking for jack to plug directly into it. A couple wires plugged into the thing get in the way a whole lot less than a jack assembly. |

I want the 3.5mm plug. I don't want surface-mount components, only through hole parts that can be plugged directly into a breadboard or a perfboard. And I don't want to take anything apart.

I don't know if solder pins or lugs can be plugged into a breadboard. I just want a 3.5mm jack that just plugs into a breadboard, without any modifications, like a DIP package.

but you can just solder small solid core wire bits onto it, that fits into your breadboad holes or mount on a small print with pins that fit |

he, or even better(simple), use a female jack adapter, and mount the wires that fit the breadboard
wouldnt it be better for breadboard work anyway ? |
