Breakaway Jack

Jack with a 90° breakaway feature.  

IFPL has developed a new version of it's highly successful Long Life™ jack.

Reliable and robust audio jacks are a must if you want to ensure passenger satisfaction.  Without audio, IFE systems are rendered useless. Up to 40% of audio failures are due to damage in or around the plug. This usually occurs when the passenger stands up with the headset still attached, causing the plug to be ripped out from the jack, often leaving a broken tip behind.

Over ten years ago IFPL provided a solution by designing and building a robust antisnagging audio jack – now successfully improving IFE systems across the globe.

Key Features

  • Using all the features that has made the Long Life™ jack so popular the Breakaway Jack adds an even better 90° breakaway feature
  • It has new design features such as the addition of a cuff, which, when coupled with a shorter pin on the headset (no more expensive than regular pins) allows a 90 degree pull out
  • The Breakaway jack is able to accept a regular headset, which would give it the Long Life capability of an 80° pull out
