Product Overview: The 616A 4P4C Advantage
The 616A model is a 4-Position, 4-Contact (4P4C) modular jack. It features a specialized side-entry (right-angle) or vertical orientation (depending on specific variant) that allows for low-profile integration into modern electronic enclosures.
-
Superior Contact Geometry: The internal wire-spring contacts are engineered for optimal mating force, ensuring a secure “lock” with standard modular plugs.
-
Optimized Signal Path: Minimal lead lengths within the jack housing help reduce signal crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
-
High-Grade Housing: Built with reinforced thermoplastic that resists high soldering temperatures and provides excellent insulation.

Key Features & Build Quality
1. Gold-Over-Nickel Plating
To prevent contact oxidation—especially in high-humidity environments—the 616A features hard gold plating over a nickel under plating on all contact surfaces. This ensures long-term reliability for low-current signal transmission in audio and data circuits.
2. Robust PCB Retention
The 616A jack is designed with high-strength solder pins and integrated plastic mounting pegs. These features absorb the mechanical stress of plugging and unplugging, protecting the delicate solder joints on the PCB from fatigue and cracking.
3. ISO 9001:2015 Quality Standards
Manufactured at the Pran Electronics facility in Vadodara, every 616A jack undergoes strict quality control. We ensure that every component is RoHS compliant, meeting the stringent environmental safety standards required for global export and high-end domestic manufacturing.
