Switchcraft Type 12B (Pack of 2) Stereo 3-Conductor Input Jack, 1/4, Double Open Circuit, Made in USA

I have used Switchcraft for decades and they are the most solid dependable jacks ever. This purchase was a reorder for 2 more jacks I needed for a project, The first order was perfect the second order came twisted and bent out of shape. Im not even sure they will function they are bent so badly. Sad, that this reflects on Amazon and the vendor that sold them to me. In the photo, the jack on the right i bent back into shape and the left I did some of the correction already. Not sure if they will work. They were crushed pretty bad.

Strong, well made 1/4 stereo jacks. Positive mechanical contact contact with the plug that does not weaken over time of many insertions and removals. They look identical to the MIL-SPEC jacks I used in the Navy.

These are not inexpensive, but I believe they are the very best you can buy. You can’t go wrong with Switchcraft. I’ve previously purchased way less expensive jacks to go in my projects and as replacements. Never fails that they fail in one way or another. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra cash to get jacks that will be reliable for years to come. You won’t be sorry.

Just the quality I expected and love

I bought these stereo version because it seems a bit cheaper and it came quicker. I knew I need only mono but I actually think the double spades would hold the 1/4 male plug more secured but I only soldered the wire to the longer spade or terminal to use it as mono. It works out perfectly.

Very nice.

Switchcraft is the standard. Dont take shortcuts

Good quality jacks. Suited my purpose.

Took a while for me to get around to using them but I finally did and I like them a little better then the emg ones. The emg ones wiggle a hair for me.

Switch craft has been putting their plugs in Les Paul guitar by Gibson so that’s why it went with them
