Long Life Jack™

Ask your IFE supplier this simple question:

How many headset insertions will  their Audio Jacks will take before they fail ?

If the answer is less than 100,000 then tell them to come and talk to us !

The cheap, commercial connectors typically used inside most jack modules were not designed for the rigours of an aircraft environment and will rarely last beyond 10,000 headset insertions - about one year in service.   This figure is even lower for Noise Cancelling Audio Jack Modules.

Our Long Life Audio Jacks have been specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of a modern IFE system.  As a result, our Long Life Jacks have been tested to over 100,000 insertions - which equals about 13 years in service!

Our Audio Jacks are available in most ARINC 628 configurations and we will design any module to meet specific customer requirements.

Key features of our Long Life Jack™:

  • Very well designed terminals that do not fatigue or become loose
  • Reduces breakage of headset
  • Very strong attachment to PCB
  • Gold plated terminals
  • Self-clearing design prevents damage due to blockage
  • "Shunt" terminals which allow remote BITE testing and compatibility with legacy systems - ( Why is this important? - Click Here)
  • Availability in 3.5mm and 2.5mm - (Why is this important? - Click Here)
