Steve J Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The assembly? No. I made a couple a few years ago for my M60 and Halfpipe using parts from Farnell - https://uk.farnell.com/switchcraft-conxall/760k/jack-plug-5a-dc/dp/1608746 https://uk.farnell.com/switchcraft-conxall/712a/dc-power-jack-2-5mm-12vdc-5a-solder/dp/1608729 Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartg Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Might be wrong here but those Farnell bits seem to be more jack than switch used to get mine from marlin but now looking for a source too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be: 329-9685 Miniature r/a chassis jack socket,2.5mm 878-6884 Black Cable Mount Phone Connector Athough, readung it again, I think the extra 1 at the end of the part number is your qty. Just thought I would clarify as searching for them with the "1" on the end on the website doesnt bring up the articles. Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taggarc Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Cheers Brett - you are right re quantity -copied it from order form ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Lunt Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Just so anyone not familiar, the socket acts as the switch. Plug a non-connected jack plug into it breaks the power supply circuit to the Rx. (EDIT added) Pull it out to fly. Plug in a jack connected to your charger charges the battery. Put a ribbon on the non-connected jack plug so's it's obviously in there and the Rx is non-operational Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taggarc Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Is the diagram below for the mini jack saying that the centre pin in the jack should be negative not positive ? Many thanks Taggarc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taggarc Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Sorry - can't seem to edit the post above and it has wrapped by text between the middle of the diagram and the end of it . What I would like to know is the last diagram saying the negative wire should be in the centre pin of the jack and the positive on the outer ?
