Hybrid connector with audio jack

摘要

A hybrid connector with an audio jack comprises an elongate dielectric housing defining a number of grooves for receiving a number of terminals and a mating hole for accommodating a contact assembly. The contact assembly includes first and second contacts which each have a base, a resilient engaging finger extending forwardly/rearwardly from the base for electrical connection with a complementary connector, and a soldering arm rearwardly extending from the base. The soldering arms of the first and second contacts each form soldering surfaces on top and bottom sides thereof whereby the first and second contacts can be interchangeably assembled. The contact assembly further includes a third contact having a soldering arm bending rearwardly from a base thereof. The soldering arms of the contact assembly extend rearwardly out of the housing for mounting the hybrid connector on a circuit board such that a bottom of the hybrid connector is below a top surface of the circuit board.
