Patent ID: 8435080

Claim:
A jack socket to produce an electrical plug connection with a jack plug, which has a plug shaft ( 1 ) with a contact tip ( 3 ), and a contact sleeve ( 2 ), comprising a plug housing ( 10 ) with a receiving space ( 11 ), in which the plug shaft ( 1 ) of the jack plug can be inserted from an insertion end ( 13 ) of the plug housing ( 10 ) in the direction of a longitudinal center axis ( 12 ) of the receiving space ( 11 ); and contacts supported by the plug housing ( 10 ); said contact comprising a sleeve contact ( 20 ) with a contact section ( 22 ) to contact the contact sleeve ( 2 ) of the jack plug and with a connecting section ( 21 ) to produce a electrical connection with the sleeve contact ( 20 ), a tip contact ( 30 ) with a contact section ( 32 ) that attaches to a free end of the tip contact ( 30 ) and during the insertion of the jack plug can be displaced by the contact tip ( 3 ) from an initial position into a final position and, in the inserted state of the jack plug, can be contacted from the contact tip ( 3 ) to a tip contact point ( 33 ); and with a connecting section ( 31 ) to produce a electrical connection with the tip contact ( 30 ), and a tip switching contact ( 40 ) with a contact section ( 42 ), which in the initial position of the contact section ( 32 ) of the tip contact ( 30 ) lies against a tip switching contact contact point ( 39 ) of the contact section ( 32 ) of the tip contact( 30 ) and is lifted from the contact section ( 32 ) of the tip contact ( 30 ) into the final position of the contact section ( 32 ) of the tip contact ( 30 ); and with a connecting section ( 41 ) to produce a electrical connection with the tip switching contact ( 40 ), wherein the connecting sections ( 21 , 31 , 41 ) of the contacts ( 20 , 30 , 40 ) project from an attachment end ( 14 ) of the plug housing ( 10 ) opposite the insertion end ( 13 ) and have a longitudinal extension parallel to the longitudinal center axis ( 12 ) of the receiving space ( 11 ) of the plug housing ( 10 ), wherein the contact section ( 32 ) of the tip contact( 30 ) has at least a longitudinal extension in an area encompassing the tip contact point ( 33 ) and the tip switching contact contact point ( 39 ), which longitudinal extension lies cross-wise to the longitudinal center axis ( 12 ) of the receiving space ( 11 ) of the plug housing ( 10 ), and wherein the tip contact point ( 33 ) and the tip switching contact contact point ( 39 ) of the contact section ( 32 ) of the tip contact( 30 ) are distanced in this direction cross-wise to the longitudinal center axis ( 12 ) of the receiving space ( 11 ) of the plug housing ( 10 ), wherein the tip contact point ( 33 ) lies further away from the free end ( 34 ) of the tip contact( 30 ), to which the contact section ( 32 ) of the tip contact( 30 ) attaches, than the tip switching contact contact point ( 39 ).
