Anyone good at Mousering?

....like Googling, but on Mouser. I hate the search interface, but I suspect a few of you have better skills than I do.

I'm looking for a replacement jack for my Boss RC-20. Here are some shots:





They each have three connections, but I'm not sure whether there are 3 separate contacts (TRS) or if one is used for switching or something.



After posting that last picture, I realize that two of those jacks have offset solder points and one doesn't - I'm looking for the one with offset points (you can see the sheared off threads on the middle jack to be replaced.)

50 bonus points for anyone who can find this part! I'm just trying to avoid paying the ridiculous BOSS parts and shipping fees.

Thanks in advance!

you can use a normal jack and just use wire to the underside of the board.  once it is screwed back together you will not know the difference.  and as an added bonus it will take the plug stress off the pcb.

Unfortunately, it's a rather tight fit in there. A typical open frame jack definitely won't fit, and these look slimmer than your standard closed frames...might be worth a shot though, I'll take a closer look. Thanks!

i mostly use closed frame switches.  so i guess that is my view point for the change.  i have repaired several of these board type jacks with normal tab mount. 

have you taken the switch apart?  you might be able to repair the fault?
