Hi
I am thinking of buying some (switchcraft) enclosed jacks for my next project, what difference will this make to the function of my peoject compared to standard, non-enclosed ones? also how do you tell which solder tag is tip, ring etc?
I've been using switchcraft enclosed jacks for a while and I'm content. I think it keeps the wiring much neater and you don't have to worry about contacts shorting out to the chassis. It's easy to ID tip/sleeve tags...all you have to do is look inside the jack or just use the continuity tester on your multimeter.
