  • who has the best prices on ends?

    I need a lot of 1/4" angle ends and inline female 1/4" ends and i was hoping someone knows of a good place in respect to price. I can of course find a million places that have em but if anyone can save me the tedious job of googling for hours i'd appriciate it. Thanks.

    You will have much better luck if you call them plugs and jacks, or at least connectors. 1/4" connectors are called phone connectors. (Not phono)

    What is a lot? 100, 200, 500? A place like Mouser has price breaks on volume. For example the Switchcraft 226 is $.59 for one, but if you get 25 they are down to $3.78.

    The inline jack, Switchcraft 121 for example is more extensive. $10.70 each or $8.05 in 25 lot.

    The plugs, Neutrik costs a bit more, AMphenol a bit less.

    On the inline jacks, Mouser has Neutrik for $1.50. Go figure.

    I find the plugs at our industry type suppliers and I find them at higher prices in general. But I guess it matters if you want 10 or 1000 of the things. SOmetimes the shipping costs more than the difference in price on a small order.

      What Enzo said.

      Conquest has been my go-to supplier for Switchcraft connectors and quality cable (mostly Conquest USA-1 for guitar & patch cable) for decades now. You could find other brands, cheaper, more expensive, gold plated, whatever. As far as I'm concerned if it ain't Switchcraft, it's rubbish. It may help if you have some sort of "official" presentation - business front - even if you're not registered with your county or state they won't much care. "daz" may not be good enough. "daz repair shop" will probably fly.

      Conquest USA 800 323 7671 Michelle usually answers the phone & takes orders. Please have your parts numbers ready to go. They take credit cards.

          Sorry, i meant i need about 30 inlines and 30 angles. But i found a place that has a lot of cheap ones that look fine. I also need TRS, not mono like i first said. So nthat limited my selection and price till i found that place. Thanks.

                The last poster beat me to it. It was indeed parts express where i found the deals. Like this one...
                1/4" Stereo In-Line Jack Metal 090-313
                Metal, TRS, 1/3-1/4 the cost of others. I never seem to think of them but i need to remember PE for now on because i often end up finding things there lately that are either hard to find or good prices.
