Switchcraft 228 1/4" Mono Right Angle Connector

The Switchcraft 228 is a professional-quality 1/4" (6.35 mm) mono right angle connector built for musicians, audio engineers, and technicians who make their own cables. Its flat right angle design is purpose-built for tight spaces—think crowded pedalboards, side-mounted amp jacks, and densely packed rack equipment—where a straight plug would stick out awkwardly or put stress on the jack. The nickel-plated steel housing gives it a rugged, corrosion-resistant exterior that can handle life on the road.

Termination is handled via solder lug contacts, which is the preferred method among professionals for creating low-resistance, mechanically strong joints. While this does mean you need a soldering iron and some basic skill, the payoff is a custom cable built to your exact length and spec. Switchcraft has been manufacturing connectors in the USA for decades, and the 228 reflects that heritage—it is a straightforward, well-machined component that does exactly what it is supposed to do without compromise.
