Jack Connectors 6,3 mm
6.3 mm jack connectors are used for instrument and audio cables to connect guitars, keyboards, pedals, amplifiers and other equipment. They are designed for custom cable assembly or repairs. When choosing, check the number of poles, construction type, wiring method and the diameter of the cable you will insert into the connector.
Mono, stereo or angled connector?
| Type | Suitable for | What to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Mono (TS) | Instrument cables, patch cables, pedals | Unbalanced signal, common for short lengths |
| Stereo (TRS) | Headphones, balanced connections, stereo signals | Correct wiring of the three contacts |
| Straight or angled | Straight for standard sockets, angled where space is limited | Space around the socket on the device |
What to check when choosing
The connector must fit the cable diameter, so check the dimensions of the internal cable opening. With soldered models, check the strength of the fastening, as a weak connector wears out quickly with frequent plugging. A metal body and quality strain relief increase durability, which you will appreciate especially when playing live. For assembly at home, choose a model you can solder without complicated tools.
