A jack socket has a main body (1) made of electrically insulating synthetic resin and a plurality of wire contacts (2). The main body (1) has a central hole (3) into which the plug is inserted and a plurality of parallel, wire contact receiving means (4, 5, 6) formed in planes perpendicular to a direction in which the plug is inserted. Each contact receiving means has a first hole or recess (4) in which a first straight portion (2a) of the wire contact (2) is fitted, a second recess (5) for accommodating a second straight portion (2b) of the wire contact (2) and a window portion (6) for receiving a contact portion (2c) of the wire contact (2). The window portion communicates with the central hole (3), so that a part of the contact portion (2c) projects into the central hole (3). Several different configurations of body and contacts are specified. <IMAGE> |
