ABSTRACT:
A pin jack, an electric connector element having a bored hole to receive a pin plug, is improved to have flexible adaptability in light of the size of openings to be formed on a terminal plate. Normally audio class pin jacks are non-coaxial, but radio level or higher frequency class pin connectors are of coaxial cable formation. These different kinds of connectors need openings with different diameters which lead to terminal plates having mixed size openings in order to meet mixed mountings. This difficulty is solved by rendering a inventive pin jack with two different concentric mounting diameters, of which a larger one of the diameters, which may be referred to as jacket ring, is externally formed to cover a portion of a cylindrical extension and is to be integrally connected to a cubic body base. Thus, with use of a smaller diameter or a larger diameter, the inventive pin jacks are advantageously secured on a given terminal plate having openings, no matter whether the openings are of conventional non-coaxial pin jack size or coaxial size.
