Abstract
A jack socket for a jack plug has a tubular guide part for receiving the shaft of the jack plug and a holder made from electrically insulating material with contact strips arranged therein. The contact strips have solder lugs which project beyond the holder and can be connected in an electrically conducting manner with the conductors of a printed circuit board. The tubular guide part can be fastened in a bore hole of a housing of a device having the jack socket. The holder grasps the contact strips and, as the case may be, the switching contacts in the immediate region of the solder lugs. The height of the holder amounts to only a portion of the height of the contact strips. The guide part and the holder with the contact strips are separated from one another. The holder is disk-shaped or plate-shaped.
