very serious comment. Ay ideas how to make a totally REIABLE jack socket ?
(especially the make-break contacts ?

At one time there was a manufacturer who actually put proper point contacts on their sockets, I dont recall the maker now, possibly Cliff products. There was once a make of socket with a stack of point blades on top similar to the old GPO relay layout, they were reliable
Of course the American style 'skeleton' type have pretty reliable contacts - until the blade brakes off.

Whatever you design, it will be manufactured at the minimum cost, so negating the reliability you designed in in the first place ;)

Whenever I replace a switched socket, I add a glob of lube from my sevisol pen to the mating faces, that usually does the trick for years unless the socket is abused or some clown blasts WD40 into it.
