and heres my comments
"I did this video to send to SCHURTER , to show what is a faulty set of 3.5mm jacks, they cost over £4 each , so you would expect better quaility.
Farnell have been great, and replaced the 6 I bought twice and all where the same, but I expect they where a bad batch. They are far to loose, they dont click shut like other sockets and the cable falls out under its own wieght.
I have had the boards made based on a pair I had used before and theres not replacement.
I am sure SCHURTER will replace them with a set of fuctioning sockets."
I'm sure you agree with me these expensive sockets are not fit for purpose ?
Many regards
David
This is a link to the datasheet they say "states£ that they they are not compatible with standard headphone 3.5mm sockets.
Are they right have I got it completely wrong ?
Dear Sir,
Many thanks for the below comments and video, I can see the problem straight away.
In your video your using one of our Data and Signal Sockets (4802.2330) and what looks like a Standard JIS Plug (Japanese style Plug) unfortunately our 3.5mm D/S Sockets are not compatible with the Japanese style plugs and this is why the socket does not retain the plug.
In your video you show a different socket that retains the Plug, that socket is made to the Japanese standard.
Below is the Mating Plug types for the 4802.2330 which is stated on the data sheet.
Hope to have been of some help.
Best regards

I might be mistaken but from your video, it looks like your 3.5mm jack is kinda short. Have you tried other jacks?

Indeed, the connector of japanese plugs (JIS C 6560) is shorter: 13.5mm instead of 14.25mm for the 'regular ones'. Weird 😕

Its in the small print ! I thought when someone advertised a 3.5mm jack they where all the same, seems not !
Hello David,
The Data & Signal 3.5mm range was designed by a company called RENDAR back in the 60's, these were design for the emerging hi-fi Market through a company called FERROGRAPH. Rendar was a big customer for producing Post Office standard Gauge A-B Plugs.
As we all know the Market eventually became saturated by the Japanese style Plug, this was designed slightly smaller than the below style.
We at Rendar noticed that the Japanese Plugs and Sockets were not compatible with our own 3.5mm versions, so we targeted the Data and Signal Market ( Test, Measurements equipment) which tended not to use the Standard Japanese Audio Plugs and Sockets.
Schurter purchased Rendar back in 1998 and decided to keep the product range for Sales. I have worked for both companies for 34yrs as an Electro / Mechanical Engineer.
You can see the difference below, dimensionally they are different, length and Diameter.
