Does anyone know of a mail order source for these DC jacks? About a month ago, someone (Tiger?) from China had pics of his pedals with these jacks. They are the SCD-522. What I like about them is that they mount from the inside, so you can solder them into the ckt before you assemble the pedal. No desoldering to remove the ckt from the box either.

Ok...the weekend's over. SC emailed me back and stated they don't sell retail, or to distributors, only direct to OEM's. Minimum order is 1000.
So...does anyone know of a dc jack model that is similar to this, or what Small Bear sells, but mounts from the inside (external nut and washer)?
When I was in Toronto a month ago, I ran across an electronics store that had these in stock. I can't remember the street, (but I think Songbird Music was further down the same street) the name of the shop, or even how much they cost, but I did grab a few for my own projects. Anyone in Toronto willing to lend a hand? I'd like to order some for the same reasons listed above.
I would be interested in some of those too. It would be nice not to have to desolder the jack if you want to take the guts out of your pedals.

that was > wizard < with his beautiful boxes.
Through his help, and that of Fret Wire,
there is a small chance, that we/you
mightbe able soon, to get some of those for a nice price
through the "usual suspects` " sources...
be a little patient, though.
I bought some of those off the shelf at Kiesub Electronics here in Las Vegas. I think they have a website and do shipping elsewhere. Maybe you could get some thru them?
it`s a price-issue...
Right! Wizard from Taiwan! Great looking boxes! "Tiger from China".......close......Not! :oops:

Besides the assembly/disassembly advantages, Wizard pointed out that due to the retaining nut being on the outside, you could fit more jacks per side.

I belive you are talking about Supermetronics on Queen St. Just a few doors down from Active Surplus.

i get ones exactly like that at You Do It in Needham, MA.

and mainly (for me with AC): it`s isolated...
Let's just ask Smallbear to order 522s instead of 523s.
RDV
he too, wants to know where to get them for best price

I think he buys direct. In that case, we have to wait for his latest 1000+ to run out.

My local shop sells them. Sayal Electronics.
I'm not sure if their main warehouse does mail order but it doesn't hurt to ask /www.sayal.com
Tiger From China?
:lol: :lol: :lol:
I used to buy jacks directly from SC. Nice Price and no extra shipping charges. That's because I live in Taiwan.
My price is $0.14/ea. for 500pcs.

I wish I could help you get this DC jack for lowest price ever, but don't know how to do that. Shipping and tax are my main concern.

:oops: My apologies for the name mix-up. $0.14 cents? Awsome price! That's so good, I'm gonna cry :(. I just finished another project in a 1590b, tight enough, plus having to solder the dc jack in the box. Another reminder why I hate the standard dc jack that has to be inserted from the outside, then soldered. But, I should have some of the SCD-522's soon.
F.W.: that`s what I had expected (the price) and why I was looking for direct contact to that manufacturer...
Wiz: your new box looks terrific!

Thank you, Anthony. :wink:
wow another ontarian
i go to that sayal as well
Puretube: I think that you probably would have got them for about $0.25-$0.35 because of air-freight to Germany. Still a good deal.
Wizard: Once again, beautiful work! You have an excellent feel for layout and graphics. Your Power Wizard is the perfect advertisement for the SCD-522 jack :) . BTW, have you tried using plastic washers on the inside to space the jacks inward?

Yeah, I bought a couple there. I can see the advantage to building the circuit before loading it into a box, but they don't look very good from the outside. The traditional ones look so clean and neat.
You can space them in with plastic washers. They won't take up any more internal room than the standard ones.

Thanks for your admiration ~
I don't have the appropriate washer to fit the jack, but I think it's a good idea!
I also think that SC should give me some discount for pushing their products so hard.
After reading this post, I went over to supermetronics and picked up a couple of these. The only problem is they come out to far. I needed an xtra bolt on the inside to keep it from protruding to much. Maybe I missed something obvious and someone has a better solution.
