JACK SCHEMATICS
Circuit Types:
Jacks normally have through circuits, shunt
circuits, and/or isolated switching circuits, either individually or
in various combinations. The chart below shows schematics of
39 common jacks - many more combinations are possible, but
these are the most commonly used. A basic description of the
switching action of each jack accompanies each schematic.
Military Identification:
Military specifications covering phone
jacks use a special code to describe jack functions. Jack
schematic descriptions are coded J-1 through J-13 (as
appropriate) to coincide with Federal Item Identification
Guides for Supply Cataloging. One or more groups of suffix
numbers/letters identify isolated switching circuits used.
Suffixes identify the switching by industry recognized notation,
i.e., 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, 1-D, etc. See chart below.
Notation

Meaning
One, SPST switching circuit. Also known as NO
(normally open) or “make” circuit.
One, SPST switching circuit. Also known as NC
(normally closed) or “break” circuit.
One, SPDT switching circuit. Also known as transfer
or “break” before “make” circuit.
One, SPDT switching circuit. Also known as “make”
before “break” circuit.

WIRE-WRAPPING TERMINATIONS
Switchcraft can build complete Jack Panel Assemblies with
jacks, lamp jacks and switches with wire-wrapping terminals. If
desired, components with solder lugs and wire-wrapping
terminals can be installed in the same assembly.
WIRE-WRAPPING CONNECTIONS
Use the chart below as a guide to recommended tools to
be used with varying terminal thickness and wire gauges.

WIRE-WRAPPING TERMINAL DESIGN
Jack springs with integral wire-wrapping terminals are made of
special copper alloy for maximum work-life with excellent
resistance to corrosion. Shank of terminal accommodates a
maximum of three wire connections. Tini-Telephone
®
phone
jacks, lamp jacks and switches with wire-wrapping terminals
have slightly higher stack due to greater spacing required for
wrapping tool access. Actuator springs and ground lug
terminals are .704" long by .060" wide.

SPECIFYING NOTE:
Due to assembly variations containing components
(solder lugs, wire-wrapping terminals, or both), these Jack Panel
Assemblies are available on special order only. Contact Switchcraft.
