RCA sockets for 10mm holes?

[maurycy]

I have an aluminum case (from China) for my preamp that has a pre-drilled 10.8mm holes. The usual RCA sockets that I have for projects are for 8mm holes and even with the insulating washers, they are too lose. Any ideas where I can get RCA sockets for 10mm holes?

Thanks but with a diameter of 23.6mm it needs more than double the size of the hole I have in my case.

Thanks! The ones from the first link are perfect for my needs. Sold in pack of 10 is exactly the quantity I need for my enclosure.

Thanks, I’m actually in the market myself.
Those have smaller threads, however the holes will need to be around a half inch in diameter by looking at the stepped washers provided.

I drill 3/8" for them. That's pretty close to 10mm, right?

It is, ten mm is .393, and 3/8 is .375.
As long as it isn’t shorted to the case, and looking closer it does look like the stepped washer actually matches the dimension of the actual socket, which is 3/8”.
Sorry for the quick evaluation before...

I will be getting a set as well.

I think I have a couple of sets of similar RCA sockets. They are 8mm and too small for the holes in my enclosure even with the attached washers.

If these are the ones I think they are, the nut is 12mm... That gives an idea of size...
