Hi all,

The datasheet for the Texas Instruments TPA6012A4 Audio amp shows a typical circuit for the device(Figure 21). The headphone socket in the circuit shows a 4 contact headphone socket, but all I can seem to find is 5 contact versions.

from datasheet

I assume typical 5 contact

Do I just tie pins 3 and 4 together.

This is to mute stereo speakers when headphones are inserted.

But can be expensive (if you keep blowing things up).

I would start with ignoring pin 4, leaving it open circuit.

That way it replicates the top schematic - only one channel used for mute detect.

Thanks Jim

Now All I have to do is add the part into dex

Hi Wombat,

Is that a 3.5mm or 6.5mm Socket?

Kind Regards,

Mick

@ bigmik

That was a 3.5 mm version.

Was going to order some through ebay, then map those into dex, so I know the footprint fits.

For a shield I should probably go SMT, rather than through hole.

Once I get the schematic finished I might get you to check it for me, if that is ok, haven't built too many boards before.

Successfully added the Keystone 8650C Module into the dex library, so a headphone jack should be easy.

When ordering the caps, should I just get tantalums for everything?
