5.5mm vs 6mm

[sailr]

That's an amazing price. I import from China and have NEVER found them that cheap. Maybe it's a quality issue but still an incredible price. Of course the shipping eats into the bargain. Care to PM me and share your source? I was about to order 100 pairs myself but even the manufacturer I usually use can't equal that price!

I just got a shippment of 100 pairs of 6 mm connectors from a China source that proved to be very good. They will easily take 10 wire. They fit so tight I was afraid I was going to pull the wire out of the socket before the connectors released. Price was about $30 for the 100 pair of 6 mm gold plated connectors. I also bought 100 sets of 4 mm and they were about 1/2 the price.

I wish this guy had 5.5mm! Everyone in our club/area has standardized on 5.5mm!

I have been happy with these connectors........................................ ......

Welcome to the world of E-Bay! The good thing is that shipping was included...it just took a long time to get here.........about 4 weeks or so.

I am not in the sales business but for those of you who want to try them I can send out a pac of 6 sets of 4 mm and 6 sets of 6 mm for $12 that includes shipping/postage, etc. This way you can get them in a few days and evaluate them prior to spending big bucks and waiting a month.

Pics show assortment and a digital mic on the two connector sizes. The 6 mm is the male barrel (note these are short connectors and have a nice solder opening hole) and the 4 mm is really more like 3.5 to 3.6 mm at the male base. These connectors have spring prongs rather than the heavier duty contact areas on the 6 mm ones. Paypal only and PM me if you are interested .

you know I ws gonna buy the 6mm ones but the picture they showed was with the thin spring type on the males like this. If I knew it was the barrel type I would of bought it. I have sometimes learn that the cheapest way will bite in you in the a*$. Maybe down the road I will give these a try.

Just to clear things up.......the smaller connector 3.5 or 4 mm has the spring tabs. The other larger connector, 6 mm is a solid barrel type. It does not have springs but thin slots in the solid barrel to insure a tight fit. Hope this helps.

Yeah but the picture in the E-bay listing posted in my last post shows them being like the smaller ones.
