This is a also true with other devices that use surface mount jacks instead of through hole mounting. I would also recommend applying a little Deoxit D5 on the plug as a lubricatnt.

The 3.5 Jack socket on these tinySA does seem to be a teeny bit small in diameter. The Jack plugs available also do vary in diameter. Try to find a plug which is not at all tight, or maybe take a fine file and carefully reduce the plug diameter until it slides in without much friction. If it is too tight you will likely break the surface mounted socket soldering. That happened to me and some others. HTH Peter
