StompDocs Short Barrel 1/4" Connector
Designed for builders who need reliable, low-profile connectors at an economical price, the X065B ultra-short 1/4" plug series offers a compact footprint and durable construction for patch cables, instrument connections, balanced signals, and stereo applications. Available in both TS (mono) and TRS (stereo/balanced) configurations, these connectors handle a wide range of professional audio needs.
The X065B features an ultra-short design with a tailpipe shortened by 40% compared to standard plugs, enabling a snug fit and preventing cable strain or damage in tight spaces. This low-profile design makes it ideal for pedalboard patch cables, balanced signal routing, and stereo connections where space is at a premium.
The connector is constructed with a sturdy nickel-plated metal body for long-lasting durability. The matte black finish provides a wear-resistant surface that maintains its appearance even after years of use, while the aluminum alloy shell features textured anti-slip grip patterns for enhanced handling and comfort during installation.
The secure clip mechanism ensures wires are clamped firmly without fear of pulling, providing reliable strain relief and maintaining solid connections over time. This combination of features makes the X065B a practical choice for DIY builders and budget-conscious projects.
These connectors are compatible with a wide range of audio devices including speakers, microphones, guitars, balanced line connections, stereo patch cables, insert cables, expression pedals, and other audio applications. The TS configuration ensures clear audio transmission without interference or signal loss in standard instrument and patch cable applications, while the TRS configuration provides balanced signal routing and stereo connections for professional audio setups.
If you're building patch cables, instrument leads, balanced connections, or stereo cables and need a reliable, compact connector that won't break the bank, the X065B series offers solid performance in an ultra-short form factor.
