DC 2.1mm Jack issues?

[2204Stuff]

anyone have issues with these from Tayda?

so far they seem solid.
I have had an issue with the plug not being pushed in all the way a couple times, seemed as it was all the way in.

Thanks,

The lumbergs are like that too in my experience. Nothing to worry about

I don't use these from Tayda but something similar that I get off Amazon. (Probably the same mfgr.) As Bricksy said, the genuine Lumbergs will also not seat completely sometimes. This has to do with how tight you tighten the internal nut. When you tighten it, the plastic sheath will bulge slightly not allowing the plug to seat all the way until it's been inserted a few times. The alternative though is to leave it loose enough for the plug to seat but then the jack has a tendency to spin when you plug and unplug the power. I hate when that happens, so I just crank mine down pretty tight.

the threading can be a bit loose on some, I will also epoxy the nut if needed. ~ cannot have a loose jack

I use these all the time without issue.

I use them most of the time. Only issue is some don’t have very deep threads on the plastic. They all get a dot of locktite blue for security.

Funny you mention that. After using the Tayda jacks for years (yes, they are tight, which IMO is good) I bought a few Lumbergs. My 2.1mm plugs slip in/out of those way too easily.
