  We conduct one-dimensional stellar-evolution simulations of stars with zero
age main sequence masses of $M_{ZAMS} = 8.8-9.45 M_\odot$ towards core collapse
by electron capture, and find that the convective zone of the pre-collapse core
can supply the required stochastic angular momentum fluctuations to set a
jet-driven electron capture supernova (ECSN) explosion in the frame of the
jittering jets explosion mechanism (JJEM). By our assumed criteria of a minimum
convective specific angular momentum and an accreted mass during jet-launching
of $M_{acc} \simeq 0.001-0.01 M_\odot$, the layer in the convective zone that
when accreted launches the exploding jittering jets resides in the helium-rich
zone. Depending on the model, this exploding layer is accreted at about a
minute to a few hours after core collapse occurs, much shorter than the time
the exploding shock crosses the star. The final (gravitational) mass of the
neutron star (NS) remnant is in the range of $M_{NS} =1.25-1.43 M_\odot$.
