Audio jack connector having means for preventing abrasion of a front face thereof by a mating plug connector
A jack connector (1) is provided for receiving a mating plug (4). The jack connector includes an insulative housing having an upper wall (20), a rear wall (22) and a pair of side walls (23, 24). A receiving space (26) is defined together by the upper wall, the rear wall and the pair of side walls. A rear corner (28) is formed between the upper wall and the rear wall. The rear corner has an inclined face (280) facing the receiving space. The inclined face is used for abutting against an oblique face (402) of a cone end (40) of the mating plug, thereby preventing the plug from moving too inwardly into the receiving space when the plug is inserted into the receiving space. Thus, an engagement of a front face of the housing of the jack connector with the plug is prevented when the plug mates with the jack connector. Accordingly, an abrasion/scrape of the front face of the housing of the jack connector by the plug is prevented.
