Selection Guide

Choose by Contact Layout, Mounting & Space

Interface & Contact Layout

  • The range uses the 1/4-inch / 6.35 mm audio connector format.
  • Female sockets are listed as stereo or TRS; the illustrated flat right-angle plug has a TS contact form.
  • Specify the contact and switching diagram. TS/TRS format and terminal count describe different parts of the connection.

Mounting & Terminals

  • A six-pin PCB socket suits a matching board footprint.
  • Panel-wired sockets use solder terminals, with five-terminal and open-frame formats listed.
  • Body depth, panel retention and pin or lug positions determine the mechanical replacement fit.

Space & Cable Routing

  • The flat right-angle cable plug routes its cable beside the mating socket.
  • Enclosed and open-frame sockets occupy different shapes behind the panel.
  • Allow space for adjacent connectors, cable entry and access to the solder joints.

Applications

Audio Jack Applications

Match the connector assembly to the audio circuit and the available installation space.

Guitar & Pedal Connections

Panel sockets provide an enclosure connection, while a flat right-angle plug routes a cable beside the jack. Match the contact arrangement to the circuit.

Audio Equipment Assemblies

PCB and panel-wired sockets suit different equipment construction methods. Use the footprint or lug drawing to plan the internal connection.

Replacement & Cable Assembly

Use front and rear photos, dimensions and a wiring diagram to match an existing socket or specify a compatible cable plug.

Common Questions

1/4-Inch Jack FAQs

Answers about contact layout, terminal count, mounting and cable clearance.

Replacing an Existing Jack?

Front and rear photos, dimensions and a wiring sketch help identify the fit.

Yes. Both describe the 6.35 mm mating interface. Panel cutout, bushing thread and body dimensions are separate mounting specifications.

No. TRS means tip, ring and sleeve contacts. Equipment wiring determines whether these carry stereo audio, balanced mono or another circuit function. Specify the wiring diagram.

No. The listed five-terminal and six-pin sockets have different termination layouts. Use the terminal diagram to identify signal and any switching contacts; the number of legs is not a channel count.

Only if the electrical layout and mechanical fit match. PCB versions need the correct footprint, pin spacing and height. Panel-wired versions need room for solder lugs, wires and retention hardware.

Match the TS/TRS arrangement, cable diameter and soldering space. The flat shell routes cable beside the jack, so clearance around neighboring sockets and the cable exit still matters.
