Overview
What this part is
The Samsung Galaxy J6 (2018) has a 3.5 mm headphone socket on a small flex cable inside the phone. Pulling on the plug, pocket fluff and moisture can wear the socket so sound drops out or the phone does not see the headphones.
Test with another set of headphones and gently clear any fluff first. If the fault stays, a new jack flex restores a clean connection. The supplier also lists this part for the Galaxy A6 (2018).

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my Galaxy J6 (2018)?
Yes, if Settings › About phone shows Galaxy J6 (2018) (model SM-J600). It does not fit the Galaxy J6+ (2018), J4 (2018) or A6+ (2018).
Does it fit the Galaxy A6 (2018)?
The supplier lists this jack flex for both the Galaxy J6 (2018) and A6 (2018). Compare your old part with the photos before fitting.
Should I test other headphones first?
Yes. Faulty headphones are a common cause. Try a second pair and clear any fluff from the socket before replacing the jack.
Is it made by Samsung?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality headphone jack flex cable made to fit the Samsung Galaxy J6 (2018), and it is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
We recommend professional installation. The back cover must be removed carefully, the battery must be disconnected first, and the small flex connectors are easy to damage.
