Eden D410xlt Jack Plate Replacement Part

[LES_IS_MOREBASS]

Hey everyone,

I am not sure how this happened, but I need a replacement fast (by friday the latest). Any suggestions on where I can get this part ASAP? Everything is intact except the 1/4 inch female (I don't know what it's called) surface jack mount???

That’s not surface mount, it’s through hole.

There are several that look identical, the challenge will be identifying the correct version. The differences are mounting height and front to back offset. You MIGHT be able to use a slightly different version if you replace both.

Possibly one of the Eden guys will be able to identify the correct version, I can’t from the photo.

Be careful not to damage the PCB, if you do you will have much bigger problems.

I appreciate it thank you. I see what you mean by identical look. This is the closest I have found.

The other I found was

The two that you show appear to have solder lugs on them. The replacement part you need will have pins designed to go through the PCP. Those lugs aren’t likely to fit through the holes in the PCB.

Given your limited time frame, your best bet might be to adapt a different jack temporarily by soldering leads onto the PCB and running them to a jack that is different, but electrically equivalent.

This isn’t really a good long-term solution but it would get you up and running by your deadline. You would just need to be sure you attach the temporary leads cleanly and carefully to be sure you can reverse the mod once you find the correct replacement parts.

You need the pc mount parts not the solder lug parts.

Thanks for the input!

Getting a replacement by Frid is likely to be very challenging, so you need to plan for the contingency. If you run one cab, you may be able to use the other jack. It doesn't look like the bad jack has any sort of short. If it does, you should be able to simply remove it. Then if you use two cabs, either run two cables from the amp (one to each cab), or daisy chain this cab from your other cab.

The jack you need is TR (tip ring) and appears to be switching.

I don't believe the switching is actually used.

This jack is designed for through hole mounting:

This is a Neutrik NMJ4HFD2

The physical measurements need to match the hole spacing on the board.

The technical specs can be found here: NMJ4HFD2 | Neutrik

Call around to see if you can find a jack locally. The Neutrik should be a fairly common model that may be kept on bench stock.

It takes some degree of skill and knowledge to remove the old jack without damaging the circuit board. It's almost always best to deconstruct the old part rather than trying to extract it intact. Much easier to remove one pin when there are not three other pins holding it in place. Also helpful if you have a solder sucker.


Good luck!
