[ARC5] Ceramic Versus Phenolic

[Robert Eleazer]

"Can you tell what kind of phenolic?  The mica filled kind is usually yellow or light tan in color."  Answer:  They all look to be dark brown.

Today I was working to make a octal socket breakout box and was using an old octal plug designed to be mounted with snap ring - or with a back cover for use at the end of a cable,
as in this case

It then occurred to me that a ceramic plug or socket probably would work less well when used at the end of a cable.  I doubt the snap ring approach would work with one.  I think all of the ceramic sockets I have seen have been the types with a bolt in mounting ring rather than the snap ring approach.
