An audio jack includes a casing 6 defining an interior space 620. Two sets of slots are formed on a top face 60 of the casing 6 in communication with the interior space 620 for receiving and retaining conductive terminal members therein, including two stationary members 3, 4 and two associated movable members 1, 2. The movable members 1, 2 engage with the stationary members 3, 4 and are selectively disengageable therefrom. The conductive terminal members 1, 2 3 and 4 are pre-compressed before being fit into the slots and the reactive spring force thereof retains the terminal members 1, 2, 3 and 4 in position inside the slots 601, 602, 603 and 604. A plug receptacle 7 is formed on the casing member 6 for reception of a plug that is inserted into the interior space 620. When the plug is inserted into the interior space 620 physical/electrical engagements is established with the movable members 1, 2 and the movable members 1, 2 are force to disengage from the stationary members 3 and 4. The bottom face 61 of the casing 6 is provided with openings 631 and 632 that allow a user to visually observe the terminal members.
