Know where to get a 6.35mm to 3.5 mm mini jack?

I like the Grado ones. The 1/4" socket is seperate of the 1/8" mini plug hence it relieves the stresses on the headphone out connection.

Forgot to link the picture.

anyway brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, so there IS copper.

Oh yeah DOH. Thanks for the info

So the more copper the better or it doesn't really matter, as the current flows mainly on the surface hence the gold plating?

i think the gold plating is there to prevent corrosion, so that a reliable contact can always be acheived.

 

however, a buildup of material can STILL occur ON the gold plated surface's SURFACE. so something goldplated's only advantage would be that muck builds up on the surface as opposed to IN THE METAL.

gold not really good conductor of electricity. silver is the best followed by copper i think.

God sake, yeah ah... why does this uncle keep forgetting that!

I can concur evil-zen's post regarding silver and copper, but I would disagree on where gold is in the hierarchy!

 

Gold is a better conductor than both due to the nature of this metal (expensive) it is not readily used. And also Silver tarnishes but gold ......... never! IMHO

I thought it went something like: (Conductivity)

1. Silver - highest

2. Gold

3. Copper

Not sure where Nickle is placed.

adhoc,

 

Nah gold is used cos it accumulate muck the slowest.

 

N@Z,

 

Conductivity in descending order -> Silver, Copper, Gold.

OK thanks fish, borderline OT now, we going, ugh!

he he ...the picture of the extended min jack looks exactly like the one that came with my nephew's new slimx player!

fishball79, accumulates muck the slowest.. isnt that what i mentioned?
