The Toslink (F05) jack receptacle is an extremely sturdy, square-cut design with dimensions of 12 mm x 14 mm x 19 mm (L x W x H, overall). Three expansible plugs arranged in a triangle pattern on the bottom serve to securely anchor it on the PCB during through-hole mounting. A screw terminal block has been is integrated on the top for additional fastening of the jack receptacle on the end device’s housing. The slot for receiving the square-cut Toslink plug has mechanical coding in accordance with the standard. The three contacts for the integrated LED driver (GND, Vcc, Vin) are designed for downward through-hole mounting. Primary areas of application: HiFi equipment, TV sets, set-top boxes, games consoles, etc.
The mini audio jack receptacle is particularly well suited for future-ready designs, because they can be used with both standard and optical audio plugs. The dimensions are 18.1 mm x 10.5 mm x 6.7 mm (L x W x H, overall). Two of the total of four contact springs ensure proper engagement of the three-pole optical 3.5-mm plug, thus ensuring mechanical latching/locking of the connection. Together with the integrated LED driver’s three contacts (GND, Vcc, Vin) and two additional guide posts, the total of 10 through-hole contacts that can be soldered ensure particularly strong mounting on the PCB. Typical applications include: laptops, MiniDisc players, MP3 players, etc.
