Bantam connectors

[dbbubba]

The 4.4 are bantam or TT (tiny telephone.)
The term Bantam and TT are interchangeable.

The .206 MIL plugs are the larger type that are CLOSE (but not the same size as) 1/4" guitar type jacks.

Thanks for the reply.
So the .206 are not called bantam.
Another question.
ADC is just a company and is not related to any type name of bantam connectors, right?
Meaning if somebody told you "i have ADC bantam cables" you would say that he has type TT/bantam connectors from ADC?

I will get to the point of all these questions in a few posts but i first want to be sure that i am not missing anything.
Thanks for the forum's patience.

Yes, ADC is a company just like Nuetriuk or Switchcraft.

ADC is a manufacturer of connectors and patchbays.

The .206 are called long frame. They're not quite 1/4", and a bit longer with a rounded tip. They will ruin a quarter inch patchbay.

Ah, so THAT'S what TT stands for! Ive been wonderinging that for a while, i kept reading it but had no idea what it ment. Id only heard bantam until i joined this forum.

Both Tiny Telephone and Bantam are names that individual manufacturers gave them.

There are those names and then the MIL spec.

Sorry but incorrect, Long frame are .25" BUT the spacing between tip and ring is different.
Unless there is Two "Long Frame"
