Ex professional workshops spare part
USED
Waiting "reincarnation" Stock
This is a nice, reasonably robust jack plug from REAN although this model is substantially metal, there is a Black plastic "back" used to access the internals. The rear screw on bushing is also plastic but the cable boot is rubber.
The funny thing about these particular jack plugs (NYS207 is the current part number) is inside, the construction differs from those I see around these days - these are "old stock" so I can only assume that at some time REAN changed the design.
What's different, Russ?
The tip terminal is a solder cup unlike the modern jack plugs but more seriously is the cable strain relief, there isn't one! Unlike the modern NYS207's which have a clamp style strain relief (in the REAN specs they say this is a steel strain relief), this plug does NOT have any such beastie and never had one. I know the assembly guys in the workshop would solder the shield/braid DIRECTLY to the inside of the body (it solders easily) but you do need to use a fair bit of heat because the heavy metal body of the plug acts as a fairly large heatsink. Funny that there is no cable strain relief though, perhaps REAN also realised this was not a great idea and changed the design? I have hunted through the technical drawings for these plugs and none clearly show the "insides" but eventually I found a photograph online of the inside of this plug, the current version not my version.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
Shame about the Black plastic backing (this creates a "hole" in the overall "hot" lead shielding) but the plug is certainly strong and robust. The plastic used is not your el-cheapo PVC but hardened and yet not brittle.
Accessing inside is straightforward ....
Unscrew the Black plastic bushing with the rubber boot attached.
"Lift" the Black plastic rear of the plug outwards and then upwards, this releases the rear section from a metal tab at the top of the plug. Hey presto, job done! Now all you have to contend with is de-soldering or soldering the cable shield to the body!
*** Where the photograph shows multiple plugs, the advertised price is for ONE PLUG ONLY not all that are shown ***
