headphone jack part

[smelni]

the external screw thingee around the headphone jack that holds the jack from falling into the camera fell off my camera. Anyone know what part this is so I can order one?

If its the part I am thinking of, you should be able to pick one up at radio shack or some electrical hobby store.

 

[smelni]

do you know what it is called

smelni: It's a knurled retaining nut, but you probably won't be able to buy one separately unless you find an old electronic specialty store with a spare parts box in the back (should be easy in NY though)..

If not, find a micro-switch at any hardware store that uses the same nut, toss the switch, and use the nut.. might cost a couple of bucks, but your problem will be solved...

thanks much - so much easier then ordering from panny

And Ill be doing a knurled retaining nut check on cams tomorrow.

A bit of loctite "blue" thread locker applied to the threads will address a re-occurence.
