ABSTRACT:
A jack with a switch, the body of which is formed of an insulating material and has formed therein a plug receiving hole and a switch housing portion extending from the back of the body in parallel to but separated by a partition wall from the plug receiving hole. The partition wall has a hole through which the plug receiving hole and the switching housing portion communicate with each other. In the switch housing portion there are disposed a fixed contact piece and an elastic movable contact piece which constitute the switch. A separator is interposed between the movable contact piece and the partition wall, and an actuating projection formed at the tip end portion of the separator protrudes into the plug receiving hole through the hole made in the partition wall. By inserting a plug into or pulling it out of the plug receiving hole, the actuating projection is driven to effect ON/OFF control of the fixed and movable contact pieces of the switch.
