General

AxLabs PCB-Mount Pure Tone Multi-Contact 1/4″ Output Jack, Gold, Non-Shunting

The AxLabs PCB-Mount Pure Tone Multi-Contact 1/4″ Output Jack is a high-quality jack socket designed for mounting on a printed circuit board. This slim 3-pin design is suitable for both mono and stereo applications, making it ideal for instrument electronics, preamps or other PCB-based builds. Pure Tone is renowned for its full-contact design: more contact points mean a more reliable connection and a lower risk of interference. The finish is gold-coloured thanks to gold-plated contacts, allowing you to benefit from maximum signal transmission in a compact format.

Full-contact design with gold-plated contacts
Just like the original Pure Tone jack range, this PCB variant is designed to maximise contact surface area. The contacts are made of gold-plated copper for high conductivity, ensuring your signal remains as pure as possible. Furthermore, the snug fit ensures the plug is securely fastened, helping to prevent unwanted crackling and signal loss. The body is made from rigid nylon and can therefore withstand daily use and installation work. For anyone looking for a PCB jack that doesn’t feel like a ‘cheap standard socket’, this is a serious upgrade.

Non-shunting version for standard signal routing
This is the non-shunting version (PTT6G). This means there is no switch contact that automatically interrupts or diverts the signal when you unplug the cable from the jack. Consequently, this variant is suitable for standard mono and stereo connections where you do not require ‘mute on unplugging’. The jack has a 0.25-inch shank and is fitted using a 3/8-32 UNEF-2A thread and matching mounting nut, so you can secure it neatly and securely in a panel.
