ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a rotational jack socket assembly which generally comprises a housing which has a jack socket rotationally mounted therein. The jack socket is provided will a receptacle for receiving and retaining a jack thereof The bottom of the housing is attached with a mounting bracket. The outer peripheral wall of the jack socket is alternatively enveloped with an annular terminal and an insulator. The housing is provided with a plurality of retaining holes which are corresponding to each of the annular terminals. Each of the retaining holes is further mounted with a resilient conducting loop which is provided with a plurality of projections which direct radially and inward. When each of the conducting loop is enveloped onto the outer peripheral of the housing, each of the projections can be suitably positioned within a corresponding retaining hole such that the projection is electrically contacted with the outer peripheral of the annular terminal. By this arrangement, even the jack socket is rotated, the resilient conducting loop is electrically contacted with the annular terminal. The annular ring has a continuous contour without any gap such that the poor contact can be completely avoided.
