hi,

i am looking for Audio COMBO Jack connector part from well known manufacturer such as CUI but simply cannot find any reference part number. google search shows irrelevant results. The only place where I see this is in Aliexpress(https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs...22244186.html?spm=2114.search0302.4.67.KlAXP1). but cannot buy from there and there is no datasheet available. I searched vendors like CUI but from datasheet I cannot understand the connection.

can anybody help?

What does 'combo' mean to you ?
Everytime I wanted a stereo/cancelling jack like that, I have canibalized them out from discarded PC audio cards.

i don't know, from what i come to know such audio jack are called combo. it has both microphone and headphone connection rather than two separate audio connector. i also looked for spare parts but didn't find any.

the audio connector datasheet really sucks....why they don't just say TRRS connector. instead they provide diagram which is different from different vendors.. then simply TRRS connector search in vendor website or google brings nothing....

If it is meant for two channel audio to earphones plus one channel audio from microphone, and common ground; I would saw it off a discarded cell phone PCB. It should include internal switch to disconnect the speaker when a plug is inserted. Some phones with FM reception should have the proper stereo + microphone jack.

If you post the datasheet you found, we can explain what you do not understand.

hi,

thanks all. I think I have found out how to actually know whether the connector is TRRS or not. An example of TRRS is shown in picture below.

It has 4 connecting pins and there is no switch between any of them. So looking at the datasheet if such diagram is found then it should be TRRS connector. Correct me if I am wrong.
