Hello all,
Last year when I was looking to buy a set of Grey Ghost Amphibian headphones for my CTX3030, I spotted a set being sold on eBay that had a 90* waterproof plug connector installed on them.
I ended up buying a new set that has the standard straight connector. I use mind a lot in the water (Beach) and I had to send them back once because the wires were starting to cause crackling noises in the phones when swinging the detector in the water. The strain relief is not flexible enough and the cable gets to much motion right where it goes into the SR.
Now that I've had them back and been using them for about 3-months, it's starting to do the same thing again. Right now I just zip-tied a small loop of cable to the connector to keep it quiet. But what I'd like to do is replace the stock 'Straight' plug with a 90* connector like I saw on the pair I didn't buy.
I understand that Mouser has the straight ones that can be field installed (8P MALE M12 SENSOR STRAIGHT SOLDER IP68) but does anyone know where I could pick-up one that is 90*?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jerry
