I'm looking for what Runoffgroove calls a "1/8 inch (3.5mm) closed-tip, open ring stereo jack."
Problem is, the terminology isn't very consistent, and waiting weeks for a delivery from China just to find out I got the wrong thing is super frustrating (not to mention that my searches on Ebay have yet to turn up anything that I recognize as being the correct part, any way).
It's to add a headphone jack to a mini-amp that will also shut the speaker off while plugged in (hence the closed-tip bit).
I think this might be it:
https://www.radioshack.com/collections/maker-parts-kits/products/radioshack-3-5mm-2-conductor-panel-mount-phone-jack?variant=5717419333...but again, the terminology is different. Also, $5 a pop is ludicrous. Triply ludicrous if I don't even know that it's the right piece.
Anyone have a reasonable source for these? Thanks in advance!!!
Edit:
And it has to be the kind I can drill a hole, stick it in and screw the nut on to secure it.
Edit2:
I have no flippin idea what "open ring" means...
