Colour-coded jack sockets simplify identification

A wide range of 2-pole/mono 3.5mm female jack sockets are available from Cliff Electronics in a number of colour choices for ease of identification on control panels.

These sockets have single-pole spring terminals which Cliff says provides simple, fast and reliable connection for a range of applications in the music industry, for amplifiers, sound systems and instruments such as electric guitars and keyboards. They are also found in domestic hi-fi for connecting headphones, headsets and smaller loudspeakers. Industrial applications include telecom, communications systems and nurse call systems as well as instrumentation. 

Available in black, red, blue, grey, green, white, they also feature a plug actuated on/off switch. The 3.5mm jack sockets may be PCB or panel mounted with the option of using a recess plate for rugged or portable equipment.

Dan Walker, general sales manager of Cliff Electronics, said: “3.5mm mono jack sockets have a large number of applications in a very wide number of markets. Colour coding provides a simple and fast means for system installers and end users to make the correct connection without difficulty.”

Cliff Electronics can supply jack sockets in a wide range of sizes, DC power connectors, terminal binding posts, test connectors and leads, optical jacks, leads and waterproof connectors.
