A-117 jack trouble

A-117 jack trouble

2009-01-06 by Tommy DOG

Somehow the external control jack has become bent and it is difficult
to make connection.

I have tried to correct the problem using jewelers tools but I simply
cannot get the two parts to be right.  

Is there a easy way to repair the jack?

Re: A-117 socket replacement

I hate to interrupt all this imitating Buchla with a Doepfer question.

I need to replace a jack socket and I need either a manufacturer
source or something that would put me in the right direction.

I looked on the Doepfer site but didn't find it.

Thanks.
TD

We don't use the CL1384 but the CL13841. There are some mechanical
differences (slightly other dimensions) and the CL13841 has so-called
"curly" contacts for a better contact. As far as I remember the CL1384 is
the old version of the socket. We do not use it since many years because of
the contact problems.

It is available as spare part from the Doepfer representative in your
country. You find it also in our price list in the spare parts section.

It's manufactured by Cliff/UK. The order no. is CL13841

Thanks Dieter.

I have yet to locate any in small quantities for sale in the US. 

I wonder whether one can make a temporary substitute with a standard
jack socket or does one need all 4 contacts.

you can order straight from cliff. there number is 1 (785) 862-2543.  order the ones dieter 
said with the curly contacts. they are $.85 each for a quantity of 25 or more so less 
quantity might be a little more. ask for mike he is in sales.

That depends upon the module and the in/output in question. In ~90% of all
cases only two terminals are actually used (GND and  tip). But if the socket
has a switching contact the terminal of the switched tip has to be wired
too.

This is the socket for the external control input.
It is probably a switching connector.
