Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9941809A1] The jack plug comprises a number of sections, the diameters of which increase successively with distance from the tip of the jack plug. Additionally, or alternatively, the diameter of the socket decreases, continuously or in steps, with distance from the insertion end of the socket. These features reduce the likelihood of the jack plug snagging during withdrawal and also reduce bending stress experienced by the jack plug if it is withdrawn using an off axis force.
