Xuxing 012 Square Guitar Jack Socket, Black Metal, 1/4-Inch Mono
Product description
Replacing a worn jack on a mono electric guitar calls for a part that matches the existing opening and mounting layout. The Xuxing 012 is a square, black metal-alloy jack socket with a 1/4-inch connection. It is listed for guitar building and worn-part replacement. This is a focused socket replacement, rather than a package of broader guitar hardware.
Benefits
A square plate gives this part a defined shape to match against the guitar’s existing jack area. Its black finish and metal-alloy construction are specified, which can help when choosing a replacement to suit the instrument’s existing hardware. The socket accepts a 1/4-inch (6.35mm) jack, and the listing identifies it for mono electric guitar use.
For a repair, the practical question is whether the mounting measurements line up with the guitar, not just whether the plug size sounds familiar. The package includes two mounting screws, so the listed contents cover the socket and its mounting screws. It does not list other guitar parts or a broader repair kit, if the work involves more than the jack, those items are not specified here.
The essentials
- Type: Square guitar jack socket for mono electric guitar
- Model: 012
- Jack size: 1/4 inch (6.35mm)
- Jack hole diameter: 3/8 inch (9.35mm)
- Mounting screw-hole spacing: 1-7/16 inches (37mm)
- Material: Metal alloy
- Color: Black
- What’s included: 1 jack socket and 2 mounting screws
These dimensions are useful when comparing the socket with the part being replaced or the planned guitar build. The listing gives the jack hole diameter and distance between mounting screw holes, but does not provide a complete installation guide or wiring instructions. Worth considering if your project calls for a square black socket and the stated mounting layout. It might not be a great match if the guitar’s opening or screw spacing differs from those measurements.
Practical tips
Before choosing a replacement, compare the listed hole diameter and screw-hole spacing with the guitar’s existing jack area. The socket is intended for a 1/4-inch jack, while the mounting measurements describe how the plate is positioned, checking both helps distinguish a matching replacement from one that only has the right plug size. Keep the two supplied screws with the socket during planning so the package contents are clear. No cleaning or maintenance directions are provided, so there is no product-specific care routine to rely on.
Practical questions
What size plug does this socket accept? It is specified for a 1/4-inch (6.35mm) jack.
What mounting measurements are listed? The jack hole diameter is 3/8 inch (9.35mm), and the mounting screw holes are spaced 1-7/16 inches (37mm) apart.
What comes in the package? The listed package contains one jack socket and two mounting screws.
When it makes sense
This part suits a mono electric guitar build or a targeted replacement when a square jack plate, black finish, and the stated measurements fit the job. It offers a more limited approach than replacing a larger hardware assembly: the listed contents are the socket and two screws, not additional components. If you prioritize matching an existing installation, the dimensions are the deciding details, if the repair requires other parts or a different mounting layout, this listing does not establish that they are included or compatible.
