4 Pole 3.5mm Male 90 Degree Repair Headphone Jack Plug Audio Soldering Spring

This replacement part is nice looking and seems to be well made. As stated by others, the design is very tight. I would guess this was to be installed or at lease soldered by a robotic device on an assembly line and is just being sold as replacement. I have a decent soldering station, large lighted magnifier (old guy been doing this kind of stuff for years), helping hands, micro torch, lots of sand paper, ohm meter, tweezers, picks, and I could go on.. I wrecked the first connector on the fist solder attempt, thankfully I had 2. DO NOT USE the provided solder is it awful and added to the first time failure. Lucky I only needed one connector so having 2 saved the day. I would suggest they put 3 or 4 barrels in the package for the 2 connector bodies and leave out the other useless stuff. The main issues I had was the the size of the contact areas, the low melting temp of the plastic separating the connectors and , the very tight space in the housing. What happens is once you screw in the barrel, the flat sleeve connector is in the way of inserting the right angle part... if you have too much solder on that connection, by that I mean any at all, you have to leave the barrel loose, put in the angled piece and then tighten the barrel with pliers forcing the solder over the lip, praying it does not break. the only saving graces is that connector is the sleeve and part of the body so no worries of shorting.. over all worst 2 hour job that should have been 20 minutes in a long time. Note, pinpoint tip did not provide enough heat for this job, had to use chisel tip which was really too big. Normal small soldering iron from Walmart is not doing to cut it so don't even try..Update: Do not buy this.. worked for a week or so and then the wire broke a the solder joint and there was no fixing it. I used an extension for the head set and, cut head set off and just soldered and shrink wrapped the wires from my good headset that needed a plug and the cheap one.. done in 10 minutes no fuss no muss.. I do not believe this product was designed to be assembled by human hands... This is what I used in it's place https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K3WYMMQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The contracts are pretty small, but with some skill and a fine tip iron it's definitely not impossible to keep it from shorting to the body like the other review states. On my first attempt it does short the ground to the mic if I screw in the angled piece all the way, but I could have prevented that by using sand paper to smooth out the bump in the solder and putting a bit of teflon or kapton tape around the contacts (electrical tape would be a bit thick here). Or if you can get the heatshrink between the body threads and the contacts but the heatshrink provided is much too big for this.Probably not for beginner solderers and it'll be even harder without at least a regulated iron with a fine chisel or conical tip. If you can't get it to work out on the angle ones a straight TRRS was included with my order too (yours may vary).My one complaint is that the screw threads are a bit rough, but they only need to be screwed once so it's something that can be tolerated

the contact seems to small for me.my solder skill: Lowwill : highbut it was cheaper and i wanted to try , but its more practical to buy new headphones.

This design leaves very little room to work. You will need a micro soldering iron to connect wires this jack without shorting to the body. I wasted $10. Good luck!
