Optical jack sockets offer immunity to signal noise
The optical jacks are virtually unaffected by electrical noise when transmitting and receiving digital signals and are rapidly becoming a standard feature of IT systems and high quality audio equipment including portable products. Seven different models are available that conform to the EIAJ/JEITA rectangular standard CP-1210 and also RC-5720 and JIS C5974-1993 F05 standards for digital audio interfaces including fibre-optic interconnections. Matching moulded optical lead assemblies are also available for use with all them. The optical jacks operate with a supply voltage of -0.5 to 7.0V maximum, they take an input voltage of -0.5 to +0.5V maximum and operate in the -20 to +70ºC temperature range. Insertion force is 5.9N minimum to 39.2N maximum, withdrawal force is 5.9N minimum to 39.3N maximum. Body material is PBT +30G, ABS 94-V-O (depending on model) with the shutter made from nylon PA66. The optical jacks are available as single or dual optical transmitter/receiver versions with right-angle PCB mounting and a self-tapping screw hole for panel mounting. Removable and hinged and hinged shutter covers are available depending on individual connector type.
