Abstract
An audio jack connector has an insulating housing defining a rectangular base. The base has a passageway passing therethrough for receiving an inserted audio plug connector. A channel is formed at a top surface of the base for communicating with the passageway. A set of switch terminals mounted to the insulating housing comprise an elastic terminal and a fixing terminal. The elastic terminal has a first top plate and a switch arm extended outward from the first top plate, with a free end thereof projecting into the passageway through the channel. The fixing terminal has a second top plate disposed above the channel. The second top plate has a pair of cantilever switch slices extending toward each other and perpendicular to an extending direction of the switch arm, with free ends thereof suspended over the free end of the switch arm and spaced from each other.
