Need audio jack connector component

[hgfd]

Hi,

I was trying to find a component corresponding to an audio jack. In the Connectors list, I did not find anything called a jack. But I did find a component called "PhonePlug2" which looks exactly like the jack I was looking for. It is a 2-conductor jack with a built-in switch that switches between the pins when a plug is inserted. The point is that it seems to me that the component is misnamed. It should be called a jack (female) not a plug (male). The plug gets inserted into the jack thereby opening one circuit and closing another. What do you think; am I correct?

Thanks.

hgfd,

Yes, this is correct - this is a symbol for a mono audio jack with a switch, however it connects to a simple POT0 (generic potentiometer) footprint, so I am not sure what real component this is supposed to be.  If you are creating a PCB you will likely need to create your own Ultiboard footprint for a specific manufacturer.

I have posted a common mono (w/switch) and a common stereo audio jack from CUI that is orderable through Digi-Key.

Please see if these work for your needs.
