The MJ161 is a stereo 6.35mm ( inch) panel-mount audio socket designed for reliable performance in professional audio and electronic applications. Featuring a durable metal open-frame construction, this socket is well suited for amplifiers, audio mixers, musical instruments, and signal control circuits where strength and long service life are essential.
This model includes an integrated Normally Closed (N/C) switch, which allows the circuit to remain connected when no plug is inserted and automatically change state when a jack is plugged in. This switching function is commonly used for signal muting, channel switching, battery disconnects, or speaker cut-off circuits in audio equipment.
The open-frame design provides easy solder access and simplified installation, while the panel-mount format ensures a secure and stable fit in metal or plastic enclosures. With stereo capability, the MJ161 supports left and right audio channels plus a common ground, making it suitable for both professional and DIY audio projects.
