ABSTRACT:
A jack having a jack case with an electrical contact switch adapted to be operated responsive to insertion and removal of a plug into and from the jack case along an insertion axis, the jack comprising: an insulating separator disposed with its longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the insertion axis, the separator having a projection at one end and the jack casing having a slot in one wall thereof for receiving the projection and enabling pivotal movement about the projection; and, the contact switch having a resilient contact piece which engages the other end of the separator and resilently positions the separator within the housing, such that upon plug insertion, the plug will engage an intermediate portion of the separator, thereby pivoting the separator, the separator engaging and moving the contact piece to operate the contact switch.
