Abstract

A jack having a structure in which a movable contact is driven and separated from a fixed contact when a plug is inserted thereinto and the movable contact is brought into contact electrically with the plug. A free-end part of the movable contact is formed as the plug receptor which is in contact with the inserted plug and is driven by the plug, and both marginal sides of the plug receptor are extended and bent towards the fixed contact to form a pair of holding parts which are provided with flaps extending rearwardly to approach each other. These flaps resiliently hold therebetween the inserted plug. Contact parts are defined at the marginal portions of the holding parts on the side of the fixed contact so as to be in resilient contact therewith.
