Obviously, it can't be both, as their is a "meaningful" diameter difference (0.0057) beteen these two dimensions. 1/8 inch is American and 3.5mm is Rest Of The World. It should actually be the same plug, just that Americans don't do mm. The original dimensions of plugs were 1/8" aand 1/4" . They are now described as 3.5mm and 6.3mm . Right, especially depending on where in the world you live. 0.0057 is within the range of manufacturing tolerance, simple wear and tear, or maybe even room-temperature variation. And more particularly well within the range of the spring contacts!!! These are NOT precision connectors. I wouldn't stress over it... Me either. Trevor. |
