Since it is so hard to get the SJ2-35464A-SMT-TR socket this mesaages are very helpful, but I would really appreciate more information. I cannot see clearly how to wire it propertley.

I got this from your messages, but I don´t know how to connect plug detect, or if it is not possible to use this conector and I would need search for five or six pins socket.

I really appreciate any clue.

Thanks in advance

Please, could someone confirm if this alternative connection will work before I make a mess? ;)

If onboard mens mic is going to be disabled permanetly maybe it is better to bypass the connector and make the external mic conection directly to the board. What do you think?

Thanks in advance for your help

@Alex Rogers Thank you so much! So, it would be something like that?In this case, could I use also the mens mic this way when not external mic connected or it would be disbaled permanetly?

Connect the 'TIP' to either 'L signal' pad and 'SLEEVE' to either 'ground' pad. This will connect the microphone but the AudioMoth won't know that it is there. To tell the AudioMoth that an external microphone is present make a direct connection between the 'jack detect' pad and either of the two 'ground' pads.

Finally I would like to soldering mi electret capsule directly to the Audiomoth board and I need some help. My doubts are:

Should I connect output signal from capsule to one or two signal pads?

Should I connect ground signal from capsule to one or two ground pads?

What should i do with jack detect and unconnected pads?

Thanks a lot for your help.
