Fishman SWITCHJACK User manual

Installation of this product is a simple procedure, but we recommend this job only if you are an experienced

repair technician.

The Switchjack is an easy to install TRS stereo jack with an additional “4th pin” terminal for battery switching

(ﬁgure 1). It is manufactured exclusively for Fishman by Switchcraft Inc.

The switch terminal on the Switchjack is typically connected to the negative battery wire of an active pickup

system. When you insert a plug, the negative battery wire connects to ground via the sleeve, and the system

switches on.

Preliminary

To gain better access to the Tip, Ring and Switch terminals, gently bend back the Strain Relief/Sleeve tab before

soldering (ﬁgure 2).

Installation (continued)

3. Adjust the backing nut so the larger threads are about 1∕16" shy of the

outside of the endblock (ﬁgure 4).

4. Thread the dress washer and dress nut, then insert a 3∕32" (2.3 mm)

or smaller diameter shaft through the small cross-drilled holes. Tighten

the nut with a ½" open end wrench while you hold the jack in place

with the shaft.

5. Fasten the strap nut.

Note: When properly installed, the end of the jack will be slightly

proud of the strap nut, so when a plug is inserted, it will snap securely

in place (ﬁgure 4). Figure 4. End of jack is proud,

large threads are shy
