Neutrik equivalant to a cliff jack

[Tonegeek]

IMO the Cliff Jacks are of superior quality compared to the Neutrik, but for the black plastic nut with solder tabs I've used:

Mono: NYS2122
Stereo: NYS212

I am going on 5 years with the Neutrik versions in my amp. no issues yet. I think the Mouser number is 568-NYS212/2
I do like the chrome nut on the Cliff though

I have used nuetrik jacks for years too without any problems

I sell both Cliff UK jacks and Asian made jacks, for a few extra pence I would say the Cliff UK jack is worthwhile. I also sell allot more of them compared to the asian ones.

As Far as I know the Cliff USA models are made in Asia, the Asian ones do work and they are used in thousands of products sold all over the world, but no, they are not the best.. but they are getting better …

they're fine, they're just not true 'cliff'.

The contacts arent' as good. Insertion/extraction could eventually be an issue.

I think if you want them in 100's you can get them from the US Distributor.

Mark i like to use the all black in mine and the best I can tell all black mono CL 1160a and for stereo the best I can tell is cl 1220a but cl 12391 is the same as far as i can tell Switched bbb is the type I want I guess. Thanks Bill
PS. in a couple of days I will order each one then I will know for sure it will be nice to have real cliff uk jack again

I want to get some good UK Cliffs as I do not like the cheap fake ones I have been getting.

Thanks.

[Tone Lover]

I know those fake ones were really starting to piss me off, made me look bad in front of a well respected local musician . I dont really make stuff for sale but he asked me for something special I thought I gave it to him then these failed and he asked me what type of cheap parts I used in his amp I thought top of the line I was sadly mistaken on these jacks . but all is good now.
Thanks Bill

[M Fowler]

Thanks for the information on these jacks very much appreciate sorting this problem out.

I recently starting using the real UK Cliff jacks after getting some fakes from MOJO. The Cliff UK dealer told me 65 Amps had like 100,000 in warranty repairs after sending a tone of amps to Europe with the fakes.

I originally switched to the Cliff type in general after having many failures with Switchcraft jacks - the tip shunt would become intermittent, and could not be re-tensioned. The same Cliff dealer told me that Two Rock had the same problem, and I've read other reports online of the tip shunt failing. This is only on newer Swithcraft jacks. The old ones are constructed differntly (see: better).
