ABSTRACT:
An electrical jack (100) for mating with an audio plug includes an insulative housing (1) defining a longitudinal central hole (101), a plurality of channels, and a pair of gaps communicating with the central hole. A plurality of conductive contacts are received in the channels and each has a contact section, a retention section secured in the channels, and a solder section extending out of the insulative housing. A grounding contact (3) with a top plate (35) and a pair of side plates (31, 33) encloses the insulative housing. Each side plate has a spring arm (311, 331) extending through the gap into the central hole thereby increasing the mating force with the mating plug.
