About the Jensen Heavy Duty JHD3620

Ken Nail
The Jensen Heavy Duty JHD3620 CD receiver will stand up to tough work and road conditions, handling temperature fluctuations, vibration, and humidity without missing a beat. And don't be afraid of dirty environments — the front panel's protective covering keeps out any dust, dirt, and grime you encounter at work or play. And if you're a trucker who takes your stereo out of the rig when you're off the job, the JHD3620 has a built-in memory that'll store all your presets and other settings for 30 days.

Plenty of entertainment
The receiver sports an AM, FM, and Weather Band radio with automatic NOAA weather alerts, plus Radio Broadcast Data Service (RBDS) for traffic condition alerts where available.

The front-panel USB input makes it easy to plug in a thumb drive loaded with your favorite tunes.

Options and connections
With an optional adapter, you can plug your iPod® into the receiver and access your playlists with the receiver's front-panel controls. Add a satellite radio tuner for all the variety of news, talk, music, sports, and more that it offers. Front and rear auxiliary inputs let you plug in other audio sources.

    Heavy Duty Series

    Heavy Duty: The Jensen Heavy Duty JHD3620 is an in-dash CD receiver with built-in AM/FM/WB tuner and is Sirius Satellite Radio and iPod ready (requires optional Sirius Connect tuner and iPod cable). Jensen Heavy Duty series head units are specifically designed, built, and tested to withstand even the harshest road and work conditions, such as humidity, electrostatic discharge, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations. Its entire front panel is an impervious membrane protected to prevent dirt, grime from accessing control panel through pushbutton gaps. The head unit's conformal coated PCB board and heavy-duty design specification provides maximum durability under all conditions. The following tests are performed on Jensen's Heavy Duty in-dash receivers.

    • Extreme Temperature & Humidity Test: Tested to ensure that the unit will fully function in -22° F to 158° F temperatures, as well as up to 95% relative humidity.
    • Vibration Test: Tested to withstand 4G's at 20-500Hz for 9 hours to ensure the unit can withstand the extreme environments most commonly met in heavy duty applications.
    • RF Performance Test: The RF Chamber test ensures that the stereo keeps clean signals in and the bad signal out, so you are always left with a steady signal without outside interference.
    • Electrostatic Discharge Test: The Electrostatic Discharge Test exposes the radio to up to 25 kilovolts to make sure it can withstand the most severe static build-up while you are out on the job.
    • Severe Electrical Environment Test: The Jensen Heavy Duty radio is designed to survive an alternator battery disconnection, because it is equipped with the necessary component to prevent "Load Dump" destruction.
