Ink Bird probe plug ?

[rudylyon57]

Does anyone know the type of plug (audio jack?) used on the following Ink Bird NTC probe? I need to buy a few female panel jacks to match it. Looks like a common 3.5 mm audio jack but I need to be sure.

Yes it is your common 3.5 stereo jack. Make sure its stereo not mono as i can't remember what the specific pinout was.

I purchased this probe and used the female end included to set up my project box, then salvaged a old stereo phono plug to give me the flexibility to easily switch between the inkbird controller included temp and the thermowell you referenced.

Happy Fermenting!

Thank you. Good point on getting a a male end for the Inkbird-supplied probe as it will also come in handy.

FWIW, I removed the 3.5mm jacks in favor of XLR connections. I had trouble with the stereo jacks popping out, and the XLRs have a clip that keeps them secured to my project box. Just my $0.02.

Thanks for the tip. I already have the 3.5 mm jacks mounted and they seem pretty snug. That may change over time and I'll keep XLR's (which I'm using elsewhere) on the radar.
