I just measured a bunch of them (all 2 cond) with my handy-dandy Harbor Freight digital micrometer and they range anywhere from 3.3 mm to 3.6 mm, so the comment about a lack of manufacturing standards is obviously appropriate.

Some of the old one eighth inch plugs out of the 60s will not make contact in the newer jacks. These are the two conductor type. So I think that years ago a 1/8 plug was really a 1/8 plug.
