Hi,
Those ones should work :
https://www.reichelt.de/Klinkeneinbaubuchsen/NEUTRIK-NR-JNUTB/3/index.html?ACTION=3&LA=517&ARTICLE=116986&GROUPID=7448

Thanks for the prompt reply.

So now we have the dimensions. I`m wondering if there is a Chinese provider of these “hexagon nut” on Ebay:
High: 4,75 mm
Ø 17,45 mm

Reichelt`s price is fine but their Porto system is not really thought through if you only want a small plastic “hexagon nut” and live in same country. -> 7€ < I can buy 200 pcs incl porto and throw away 199 pcs and still paid less than on Reichelt.

Looking at a Nuts dimension chart:

What size would work? (I cannot find/convert it into a normal nut size with ISO 4032)
