Search for replacement headphone jack

Hi,

i need a replacement 6,5mm headphone jack for the Prime 4

Anyone now where to get one? Maybe its a common part?

thx! and greez Stefan

Yes they are common parts, and they can be purchased from many places - but I would suggest that if you’re asking those questions, you should really be taking your device to someone experienced in electronics repair and letting them service it for you, rather than trying to change the part yourself.

I’m a communications electronics technician, so soldering is no problem for me. I have already desoldered the socket. But where can I get this part online? I’ve already searched a few shops but haven’t found the right one with the same pin arrangement.

Raise a support ticket where you can request a quote for spare parts direct from Denon.

Does Denon actually supply parts to non service centers aka customers?

I haven’t dealt with them, but there are a few posts mentioning this company:

I only see “PCB - Front Assembly Headphone Prime 4 - Denon - TWPC16A03001” at 71 USD in the list, but there is this note–

We can source many different parts for this unit that may not be listed below. If you are looking for a particular part you dont see or need help finding something, please contact us at sales@instrumentalparts.com

Yes, well in the UK anyway. I have an open order for a replacement jog plate for my Prime Go plus being supplied by Denon directly.

The manufacturer of the headphone jack would also suffice for me. PCB - Front Assembly Headphone Prime 4 - Denon - TWPC16A03001 is the correctly one but i only need the right part. It looks like you have to break or cut the PCB apart. I’m not going to buy a PCB for over £70 just to replace a £2 socket.

You don’t need to know the manufacturer - it’s a standard generic part made by many companies. There’s also no need to buy the PCB and break it.

ÂŁ70 for that PCB is ridiculous, for maybe ÂŁ3 worth of parts.

[EDIT] Now I’ve looked at the image for $71 I see that’s much more than required. The headphone PCB on its own is under $30.

If you only use the large jack, you could buy a chassis mounting jack rather than PCB mounting, and hard wire it.

Unfortunately, the pins don’t fit! You can’t show me where to get the part, so shut up! I’ve already thought about just soldering any socket with wires, but since the small socket is also on the PCB and I want to keep it, the PCB is in the way.

You could also just dump the PCB completely, fit two chassis sockets and wire both of them straight to the cable that terminates on that edge connector.

You should hopefully appreciate that people have been trying to help you. Although some may have stopped at reading that comment.

InMusic don’t make headphone jacks themselves, so the jack will be from one of the few main manufacturers of individual components.

You could try the Radio Spares or similar online catalogues -

you could even look for some other InMusic products for spares/repairs in auction sites as there’s a good chance that Akai, Numark, Stanton, M-Audio, or any of the other InMusic brands may well share the same component suppliers.

Best of luck with your search for the part.

No he is not helping! He’s just a smart aleck. p.s. rs-online do not have the right one…

Once again, you don’t necessarily need “the right one”.

3.5mm and 6.3mm jack sockets are standard parts. They come in PCB mount and chassis mount versions to fit inside equipment, and also line sockets for extension cables, adaptors etc.

As I suggested initially, if you don’t have experience with audio equipment servicing, I’d advise getting someone else to handle it.

And I told you i will have the original Part to repair the PCB and do not some crap â– â– â– â–  botched job like you told me to do. I think you have no experience whatsoever, or why else would you make such stupid suggestions? I have now found someone who sells the original spare part. I am just waiting for confirmation. It costs next to nothing and will do a good, solid job.

That’s good news. Please follow up to let us know if everything works out and if this is another reliable parts vendor option.

No, I most certainly did not tell you to do a botch job, or make any stupid suggestions. I offfered a valid alternative to needing the exact part to mount on the PCB, or to buying an overpriced replacement PCB.

On the other hand, you’ve told me to shut up, called me a smart alec and accused me of making stupid suggestions. :man_shrugging:

Sure! You tell me that if I ask these questions, I should leave it to a professional. And I can find it in many shops, but you can’t name one for me. Very helpful! Mess around with any sockets is not a valid alternative, it’s botched work. Great Idea!

Yes, when you have to ask where to get one and whether it’s a common part, that tells me you’ve got no experience - at least with headphone sockets.

You kept mentioning the pins - but you never actually showed us the pins. You pictured the top side of the board……..which again suggests inexperience. How are we supposed to know what kind of pins it has if you don’t provide a picture?

I shouldn’t need to name a shop - because thousands of shops sell standard 6.3mm headphone sockets. Experience should tell you that. If the one fitted is somehow non standard, then at least provide the pin details.

Fitting chassis mounting sockets and direct wiring is a perfectly valid solution to the problem of either not knowing the exact type of socket, or the high price of the PCB assembly.
