Ripper phono jack
« on: 10 Dec 2007, 05:57 am »
Hi, folks. I've been building my Ripper kit this weekend. It's been mostly plain sailing, but now I have a problem with the phono jack which doesn't fit the board. The board has three mounting holes but the jack has four legs. The URL from Digi-key's site will show what I mean.

How do I deal with this? Thanks,

Martyn

Cut off the extra leg.  I need to update the parts list.  When the RIPPER came out digikey had none of the correct phone jacks in stock.  6 months later they did.  It is the exact same jack, but without the 4th leg.  Just cut er off.
