The ASJ-196-K-T/R is a 3.5mm stereo phone jack featuring a right-angle, surface-mount technology (SMT) configuration designed for compact audio equipment integration. It is constructed with a thermoplastic housing (UL94V-0 rated, black color), copper braid conductor, and gold flash over nickel underplate for reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance. The connector is rated for 30VDC at 0.5A with a maximum contact resistance of 30 mO, insulation resistance of 100 MO minimum at 500VDC, and dielectric withstanding voltage of 500VAC. Operating over a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C, this connector is lead-free and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for consumer audio devices, portable electronics, and professional audio equipment where space constraints and environmental compliance are important considerations.
