I'm curious about this. If anyone has reference to an actual 1/8 connector,
please forward off list. I don't recall them ever being anything but 3.5mm

originated as 3.5mm and 1/8 is the closest fractional inch (9/64 is
unsatisfying).
Just to be awkward, my mono and stereo versions all measure 3.48 to 3.49 on
the barrel but 2.94 to 3.02 on the tip. Nothing measures 3.18mm ie 1/8inch.
It's been said before: 1/8inch is an approximation.

The drawing I referenced with the sleeve at 3.5mm shows the widest part
of the tip at 3.0mm.

These, and most other common connectors, are
As is 3.5 mm as well. Inching our way to metric over here in the new
world.

Hi,
This is Mark Griffin, KB3Z. Does anyone know the size phono plug that I would
need for the Line Out Jack in the back of the K3? I think it is 1/8 but I am
not sure. Thanks for your help! Mark

I think mine are 3.5 mm, I don't have a metric stick handy right now,
they work fine. If it becomes a big issue, I'll get the micrometer out
tomorrow.

There was a long thread on this recently. Essentially modern 3.5 mm plugs and
1/8 inch plugs are the same thing. Neither are exactly the dimensions given but
both will work in the intended jack.
The K3 manual (p 8) lists 1/8 inch for the rear jacks. Note: All plugs should
be stereo type.
3.5mm and 1/8 inch are now the same thing - one place calls them 3.5mm
while others use the 1/8 inch designation for the same thing.
Yes, it was not always so, but that was well before stereo plugs and
jacks came into existence.
The big issue now is manufacturing tolerances that might mean
