Kentech CJP9023V 3.5mm Stereo PCB Vertical Jack Socket

Vertical Board Integration: The Kentech CJP9023V is a high-reliability, 3.5mm (1/8") stereo female jack socket engineered for direct vertical mounting onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). Space-Saving Design: Its vertical orientation allows the auxiliary plug to be inserted perpendicular to the PCB surface. This greatly optimizes board space, making it perfect for compact electronic designs and narrow enclosure layouts. True Stereo Capabilities: Built with a three-pole configuration (TRS - Tip, Ring, Sleeve) to support high-fidelity left and right audio channels along with a common ground return. Durable Thermoplastic Body: Housed in a rugged, heat-resistant molded plastic casing that maintains its structural integrity during hand-soldering or wave-soldering assembly lines. Wide Application Reach: Ideal for custom amplifier assemblies, DIY synthesizer modules, test and measurement instrumentation, microcontroller development boards (like Arduino or Raspberry Pi shields), and consumer audio repairs. Features Sturdy Through-Hole Terminals: Features robust, rigid metal pins that feed easily into standard PCB trace holes, providing a secure mechanical anchor and electrical connection. Integrated Shunt Switches: Often incorporates internal NC (Normally Closed) bypass switches that can route audio signals internally until a 3.5mm male jack is inserted to break the loop. Tightly Toleranced Contact Springs: High-grade internal copper alloy spring-contacts ensure low contact resistance and a firm physical grip on inserted auxiliary plugs over thousands of mating cycles. High Thermal Resistance: The insulating plastic structure is formulated to withstand the high thermal peaks of typical lead-free soldering environments without warping. Flush-Fitting Alignment: Designed with a small physical footprint that allows multiple sockets to be lined up in close proximity on a single board layout.
