> Well, I think the idea is that by the time the 7 pins are soldered (5 D= IN plus 2 shield) and the three screws are installed, and assuming that t= he PCB is also bolted down with at least 4 screws, then it should be good= enough for a commercial design. >=20 > It=E2=80=99s hard to know what qualifies as commercial design standards= these days, because the metal enclosure is almost extinct, and the most = important jack is USB, where there are only the solder pins to offer any = mechanical stability because no panel mounting options are used in the ty= pical music device of today. >=20 > Brian Willoughby >=20 I get ya Brian, I'm sure that'd be fine. I'm just saying I've only used=20 my DIY splitter a dozen times and I can't vouch that the #2 screws into=20 the plastic is the correct way of mounting this part to a panel. My=20 jacks are also hand-wired to the pins so no extra support from a PCB. Mike
