[GreenKeys] Crimp Ring Terminals?

[W2HX]

Small follow up.
I should mention, I do have the proper screw driver (with the rod in the middle).

You might be able to see the woven insulation on this cable. It appears that it will be very difficult to remove this cable from the plug. Perhaps some crimping occurred to hold this cable in, I'm not sure. I am willing to butcher the cable if necessary if I need to to reuse the plug,  But maybe it would be smarter for me to ask the list if anyone had three or so complete TRS plugs of this style they want to sell?  Of course, ideally they would be never-installed with those ring terminals.

Thanks!

Subject: [GreenKeys] Crimp Ring Terminals?

Hi friend.

I'm looking to redo some of my loop equipment. In the past I was using a more modern(?) style TRS plug which didn't play well with the jackfield I have which takes the older, longer style plugs. The one I am (was) using is very finicky about what precise depth I insert the plug into the jack for it to properly insert. Put it in too much and TR short in the jack which cuts the TTY out of the loop (story of my life!).

I have some cords with the correct plugs that work FB. I am looking to attach some long cable to some of these which then go to my TTYs. I am in need of the small ring terminal used here that I can crimp onto the wire. Attached is a photo of the proper plug.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for what these are called/size etc? Or maybe someone has some spare, unused ones? I could use about 6 or maybe more for contingency (in case I screw up one of them hihi).

Thanks, all!
