Audio Cable 2.5mm 8"

sku: CAB-10159 RoHS Compliant

Description: This is a simple 8" long 2.5mm audio cable. It is terminated with a 2.5mm audio plug on one side and unterminated with bare wires on the other end. These are to be used with the ModKit shields.

The 2.5mm plug is the same one used by many devices. A lot of older cell phones used this size for the headsets. It is the audio jack size generally used on a lot of portable electronics that didn't use the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack. Also, the Rebel line of Canon dSLRs use this jack for shutter control. See the link below for creating your own 

Note: This is not the more common 3.5mm (1/8") jack size. They will not work with 3.5mm jacks.

    This looks perfect for a DIY camera intervalometer for cameras that use a standard 2.5mm stereo plug (ie. Canon’s Rebel DSLRs).

      DUH! thanks for pointing that out. I shoot a Canon T1i, I’m going to try this.

      I tried it on my dSLR and it works great. I’ll be making my own shutter control with it.

      This would’ve been handy for me about two weeks ago. I made a cable so I could control AE lock/AF through a PocketWizard MultiMax.
      A 3.5mm right-angle plug on one end and a 2.5mm plug on the other to trigger my old Rebel XT. Then I made another cable that has a 2.5mm inline jack on one end and a Canon N3 connector on the other to trigger my 40D.
      I had to source the N3 connector from a wired remote from the camera because you can’t seem to get them anywhere.

    How about a 3.5mm version of same?

  • esklar81 | about 2 years ago 1

    The description includes “terminated with a 2.5mm audio jack on one side”, but the images are of a plug.
    Which is correct?

    These also fit the 2.5mm serial jack on most Texas Instrument calculators.

      Nike’s right, and I’d be happy to get some of these for exactly that purpose. However, I’d like to make sure that the plastic covering around the plug is small enough that it would be able to fit into a TI-84 series calculator (even with some modification). Can anyone please confirm this (or simply measure the diameter of that covering)?

      • Paradoxial | about a year ago 1

        I am using mine with a TI-89 and I discovered that the plastic covering actually screws off to reveal a semi-flat metal piece that has to be filed down slightly to fit into the jack. The end result isn’t to bad looking. I did add a bit of heat shrink to cover up the exposed wires though.
        I have an old broken TI-84, and the jack appears to be the same as the TI-89.

    Would I be able to use this to connect an oscilloscope probe to my ipod touch 4th gen? Does anyone have a schematic/tutorial for this? I know you need a 1k resistor somewhere.
