Unless you're constantly unplugging them, there's no reason why they

mobile etc use.

It's a recognized problem with certain Audiolab models, Dave. The
plastic they used becames brittle and they break with *normal* use :-(

Right. Do they look like bespoke connectors, or could they be changed for
a different make?

It depends on whether they had special parts made or used stock ones.
All I could suggest is a trawl through the various websites to see if
anyone does a similar type if it's PCB mount.

Maplin, RS, CPC and Rapid would be a good start.

I'll take a look. Never heard of Rapid before.

Quite good value for some things. Website is newish and not 100% yet.
