This PCB mounted DC jack style can be found on many manufacturers’ pedals. For barrel plugs with a 5.5mm external diameter and 2.1mm internal diameter. Three solder pins are available for tip, ring, and switch.

9V battery clip with a fiberboard frame. This high quality battery snap features tinned brass eyelets that secure the nickel-plated steel contacts to the fiberboard. Wires can be soldered directly to the eyelets allowing for custom length battery connections. This fiberboard style is similar to the 9V battery connectors in vintage electronics such as the Arbiter Fuzz Face.

Prewired low-profile LED bezel with a diffused LED. With a 0.07” height, this black metal LED bezel has an almost flush appearance on the panel it’s mounted to. An internal current limiting resistor is installed in this bezel and it can be used with voltages up to 12VDC. Mounting nut and rubber o-ring included.

Panel mount LED lenses made of high quality polycarbonate. These flat cylindrical lenses provide a unique retro appearance with a small panel footprint and work well in any project using LED indicators. Features:

• ¼” mounting hole
• For panel thicknesses of 1/16” to ⅛”
• Fresnel lens
• Flat cylindrical shape
• Fits standard 5mm LEDs

The 2N2222A is a NPN transistor in a TO-18 metal case. The 2N2222A is commonly used in fuzz pedals.

Zinc nut. Designed to be used with any low carbon bolt or screw such as a grade 2 bolt. Most commonly used nut. Achieves strength through cold forming. Low carbon steel.

Threaded through dress nuts for use with mini toggle switches. Unlike the other versions of this dress nut, this nut is not capped allowing the nut to thread past the top of the switch’s bushing. The uncapped top can be useful where internal depth is an issue such as parallel PCB mounting. These plated dress nuts feature a chamfered edge for a professional look and work on any 1/4-40 UNS threaded bushing. Two sides are flatted for use with a tool when fastening.

Large knob with line indicator and set screw similar in style to the Davies 1500 and 1510 knobs. Pairs well with P-K380X. Fits ¼” (6.35mm) pot shafts.

• Knob Height = 0.60"
• Pointer Diameter = 1.06"
• Fits 1/4" shaft with set screw
• Oversized Davies 1510 Clone

High quality chassis mount battery holder. This steel holder fits standard 9V batteries. The horizontal mount and small footprint of the holder allows for easy placement where vertical space is limited.

Carling mini-toggle switch, DPDT, 3 position, ¼" mounting hole diameter, 0.354" bushing length.

• 0.354" bushing length
• 3-Position
• ¼" mounting hole diameter
• Double pole/Double throw (DPDT)
• Solder lugs

Black pointer with white line. Fits a 3/16" knurled shafts. Push on Peavey part: 70902145

Cliff UK 1/4" white jack. External threading: 7/16-20. Ni-Ag® Alloy Self-Cleaning Contacts for superior performance and reliability. Tough, molded Nylon body.

Standard size terminal strips, 1/16" thick bakelite, tin plated steel solder lugs and brackets. 6 lugs, first and sixth lug are common.

100kΩ dual-gang 16mm potentiometers with a solid shaft and a linear taper. These pots have right angle PCB mount terminals. The smaller size is useful for builds with limited panel space such as guitar pedals, synthesizer modules, and adding modifications to equipment. Washer and nut included.

• Lead Distance from shaft center: 16 mm (0.630”)
• Lead Thickness: 0.5 mm (0.020”)
• Shaft Diameter: 6.35 mm (0.25”)

High brightness 5mm LED. Great for use in pedal and amp builds as well as other applications where a bold, bright, indicator is needed. Multiple colors available.

• 5mm size
• Water clear
• High brightness
• Multiple colors available
• Package of 5

2N169 NPN germanium transistors in an oval package. The oval package is sometimes referred to as a top hat package. The 2N169 is a popular NPN for fuzz pedals and other effects. The NPN polarity allows for use with standard pedal power supplies.

Steel, type A narrow. SAE washers have a tighter fit on the bolt and a smaller outside diameter. Designed for general purpose mechanical and structural use.

Surface mount MMBFJ201 JFETs presoldered to TO-92 adapter boards. Use wire, clipped component leads, or pin headers to easily attach these adapters to PCBs using TO-92 footprints for J201s. These JFETs can be found in many effects pedals, synthesizers, and other projects. The J201 / MMBFJ201 is an N-Channel general purpose amplifier JFET. This device is designed primarily for low level audio and general purpose applications with high impedance signal sources. The pinout is marked on the PCB and is DSG when facing the component side.

Audio taper 16mm potentiometers with a T18 knurled shaft. These pots have right angle PCB mount terminals. The smaller size is useful for builds with limited panel space such as guitar pedals, synthesizer modules, and adding modifications to equipment. Washer and nut included.

SPST(single pole,single throw) normally open, Off-(On) momentary foot switch with solder lugs and soft switching. These high quality switches feature a black actuator, bushing and mounting hardware. Depressing the switch shorts the lugs together and when the switch is released it returns to its non connected state with no click.

• SPST momentary switch
• Black finish and hardware
• Soft, silent switching with no click
• Normally open operation
• Solder lugs
• Nuts and washer included
• Note: Off-(On) switches may sometimes be referred to as Off-None-(On).

High quality chassis mount battery holder. This steel holder fits standard 9V batteries. The vertical mount and small footprint of the holder are great for narrow spaces and work well for any project. See S-H158 for horizontal-mount.

PCB Mount stereo jacks with a very low profile. These jacks have a smaller footprint than the Lumberg jacks that are popular for tight pedal builds. They are perfect for top mounted jack pedal builds and any other project where space is limited. Mounting nut and flat washer included.

• M9*0.75 Bushing Thread
• Stereo 3-Conductor (TRS)
• Open Circuit (does not have switched terminal).
• Includes nut and washer.

This jack can be found in many modern versions of the classic Boss pedals such as the DS-1 and SD-1.
