No i want the ones that look just like the stock kenwood The part that you grip to screw it in. every other part like the RadioShack one i got you can't grip it to screw or unscrew it from the radio.. and the contacts in it are noticeable weak.

I have been using RS mike connectors for years and never had a problem with them. I have to admit that once I plug a mic in I rarely unplug it. Its all a moot point now that RS is all but gone.

Wonder how many actual mfrs that are that make these plugs? Amphenol? Who else? Probably a company in China makes these for Amphenol under contract/license.

Never had any problems with these plugs. One goes bad, just toss it and put on another one. Same plug body with a different pin-out number is all I've seen . . .
