You're looking for a 2.1mm DC Jack, Small Bear has a couple of designs available. Remember to go for the insulated type if you are using a normal centre negative wiring. The round ones are the easiest to fit.

You should be fine as long as you don't leave the iron on the parts too long and overheat them - then again I've never managed to damage a component this way and I was pretty cack handed with my iron when I started out. Some times the little bits of solder left on the component leads can make them d...

(I want to add a small toggle switch in there and maybe a 3mm led too, just not sure of the process) :oops: Hey, you stalking me or something? :wink: Adding components is just a matter of drawing th...

Anyone got 4knob drilling template like the hermida audio?? The component library I posted above has all you need to create your own. The beauty of something like inkscape is that you can quickly and easily make up accurate templates using a bunch of standard components. I've just spent today writi...

Stereo (Tip, Ring and Sleeve) connectors are often used on the input of effects so that the power is disconnected from the battery when the input cable is removed. This works with a standard (mono) instrument cable and prevents your battery going flat when not in use (as long as you unplug the cable...

Cool, I've recently started using inkscape for my drill templates and artwork. I've been building up a component library and planned to upload to the inkscape site. I've attached what I've got so far below.
