Of these many varieties, only the two-conductor version with a rounded tip profile was compatible between different manufacturers, and this was the design that was at first adopted for use with <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone" title="Microphone">microphones</a>, <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_guitar" title="Electric guitar">electric guitars</a>, <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headphones" title="Headphones">headphones</a>, <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudspeaker" title="Loudspeaker">loudspeakers</a>, and many other items of audio equipment.</p> <p>When a three-conductor version of the 6.35 mm (<span class="frac nowrap"><sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>4</sub></span> in) jack was introduced for use with <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereophonic_sound" title="Stereophonic sound">stereo</a> headphones, it was given a sharper tip profile in order to make it possible to manufacture jacks (sockets) that would accept only stereo plugs, to avoid short-circuiting the right channel of the amplifier. This attempt has long been abandoned, and now the normal convention is that all plugs fit all sockets of the same size, regardless of whether they are balanced mono, unbalanced mono or stereo. Most 6.35 mm (<span class="frac nowrap"><sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>4</sub></span> in) plugs, mono or stereo, now have the profile of the original stereo plug, although a few rounded mono plugs are also still produced. The profiles of stereo miniature and subminiature plugs have always been identical to the mono plugs of the same size.</p> <p>The results of this physical compatibility are:</p> <ul> <li>If a two-conductor plug of the same size is connected to a three-conductor socket, the result is that the ring (right channel) of the socket is grounded. This property is deliberately used in several applications, see "tip ring sleeve", below. However, grounding one channel may also be dangerous to the equipment if the result is to <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_circuit" title="Short circuit">short circuit</a> the output of the right channel <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplifier" title="Amplifier">amplifier</a>. In any case, any signal from the right channel is naturally lost.</li> <li>If a three-conductor plug is connected to a two-conductor socket, normally the result is to leave the ring of the plug unconnected (open circuit). In the days of <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_tube" title="Vacuum tube">vacuum tubes</a> this was also potentially dangerous to equipment but most solid-state devices tolerate this condition well. A three-conductor socket could be wired as an unbalanced mono socket to ground the ring in this situation, but the more conventional wiring is to leave the ring unconnected, exactly simulating a mono socket.</li> </ul> <p>Due to a lack of standardization in the past regarding the dimensions (length) given to the ring conductor and the insulating portions on either side of it in 6.35 mm (<span class="frac nowrap"><sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>4</sub></span> in) phone connectors and the width of the conductors in different brands and generations of sockets there are occasional issues with compatibility between differing brands of plug and socket. This can result in a contact in the socket bridging (shorting) the ring and sleeve contacts on a phone connector, or where a phone plug is inserted into a two-conductor TS socket in some cases the intended 'sleeve' contact in the socket making contact with only the 'ring' portion of the plug.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Uses">Uses</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phone_connector_(audio)&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Uses">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width:222px;"><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TRS_connector.JPG" class="image"><img alt="" src="//web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/16/TRS_connector.JPG/220px-TRS_connector.JPG" width="220" height="165" class="thumbimage" srcset="//web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/16/TRS_connector.JPG/330px-TRS_connector.JPG 1.5x, //web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/16/TRS_connector.JPG/440px-TRS_connector.JPG 2x" data-file-width="3648" data-file-height="2736"/></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TRS_connector.JPG" class="internal" title="Enlarge"></a></div> A 3.5 mm phone connector</div> </div> </div> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width:222px;"><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:3.5mm.jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="//web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/3.5mm.jpg/220px-3.5mm.jpg" width="220" height="165" class="thumbimage" srcset="//web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/3.5mm.jpg/330px-3.5mm.jpg 1.5x, //web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/3.5mm.jpg/440px-3.5mm.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2592" data-file-height="1944"/></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:3.5mm.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"></a></div> A 3.5 mm 4-conductor TRRS phone connector</div> </div> </div> <p>Some common uses of phone plugs and their matching sockets are:</p> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headphone" title="Headphone" class="mw-redirect">Headphone</a> and <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earphone" title="Earphone" class="mw-redirect">earphone</a> jacks on a wide range of equipment. 6.35 mm (<span class="frac nowrap"><sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>4</sub></span> in) plugs are common on home and professional component equipment, while 3.5 mm plugs are nearly universal for portable audio equipment. 2.5 mm plugs are not as common, but are used on communication equipment such as <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordless_phone" title="Cordless phone" class="mw-redirect">cordless phones</a>, <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone" title="Mobile phone">mobile phones</a>, and <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-way_radio" title="Two-way radio">two-way radios</a>.</li> <li>Consumer electronics devices such as <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_cameras" title="Digital cameras" class="mw-redirect">digital cameras</a>, <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camcorders" title="Camcorders" class="mw-redirect">camcorders</a>, and <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_DVD_player" title="Portable DVD player">portable DVD players</a> use 3.5 mm connectors for composite video and audio output.

All are 3.5 mm except the gold-plated plug, which is 2.5 mm. One of the 3.5 mm jacks is two-conductor and the others are three conductor. The tan-colored jacks have a normally-closed switch.</div> </div> </div> <p>Panel-mounting jacks are often provided with switch contacts. Most commonly, a mono jack is provided with one normally closed (NC) contact, which is connected to the tip (live) connection when no plug is in the socket, and disconnected when a plug is inserted. Stereo sockets commonly provide two such NC contacts, one for the tip (left channel live) and one for the ring or collar (right channel live). Some designs of jack also have such a connection on the sleeve. As this contact is usually ground, it is not much use for signal switching, but could be used to indicate to electronic circuitry that the socket was in use.</p> <p>Less commonly, some jacks are provided with normally open (NO) or change-over contacts, and/or the switch contacts may be isolated from the connector.</p> <p>The original purpose of these contacts was for switching in telephone exchanges, for which there were many patterns. Two sets of change-over contacts, isolated from the connector contacts, were common. The more recent pattern of one NC contact for each signal path, internally attached to the connector contact, stems from their use as headphone jacks. In many amplifiers and equipment containing them, such as electronic organs, a headphone jack is provided that disconnects the loudspeakers when in use. This is done by means of these switch contacts. In other equipment, a dummy load is provided when the headphones are not connected. This is also easily provided by means of these NC contacts.</p> <p>Other uses for these contacts have been found. One is to interrupt a signal path to enable other circuitry to be inserted. This is done by using one NC contact of a stereo jack to connect the tip and ring together when no plug is inserted. The tip is then made the output, and the ring the input (or vice versa), thus forming a <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_point" title="Patch point">patch point</a>.</p> <p>Another use is to provide alternative mono or stereo output facilities on some guitars and electronic organs. This is achieved by using two mono jacks, one for left channel and one for right, and wiring the NC contact on the right channel jack to the tip of the other, to connect the two connector tips together when the right channel output is not in use. This then mixes the signals so that the left channel jack doubles as a mono output.</p> <p>Where a 3.5 mm or 2.5 mm jack is used as a DC power inlet connector, a switch contact may be used to disconnect an internal battery whenever an external power supply is connected, to prevent incorrect recharging of the battery.</p> <p>A standard stereo jack is used on most battery-powered guitar <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_pedal" title="Effects pedal" class="mw-redirect">effects pedals</a> to eliminate the need for a separate power switch. In this configuration, the internal battery has its negative terminal wired to the sleeve contact of the jack. When the user plugs in a two-conductor (mono) guitar or microphone lead, the resulting short-circuit between sleeve and ring connects an internal battery to the unit's circuitry, ensuring that it powers up or down automatically whenever a signal lead is inserted or removed. A drawback of this design is the risk of inadvertently discharging the battery if the lead is not removed after use, such as if the equipment is left plugged in overnight.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Design">Design</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phone_connector_(audio)&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Design">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width:222px;"><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Phone_jack_symbols.png" class="image"><img alt="" src="//web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Phone_jack_symbols.png/220px-Phone_jack_symbols.png" width="220" height="220" class="thumbimage" srcset="//web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/Phone_jack_symbols.png 1.5x, //web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/Phone_jack_symbols.png 2x" data-file-width="300" data-file-height="300"/></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Phone_jack_symbols.png" class="internal" title="Enlarge"></a></div> Examples of jack configurations, oriented so the plug 'enters' from the right.

The ring, used for the right channel in stereo systems, is used instead for the inverting input. This is a common use in small audio <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixing_desk" title="Mixing desk" class="mw-redirect">mixing desks</a>, where space is a premium and they offer a more compact alternative to <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XLR_connector" title="XLR connector">XLR connectors</a>. Another advantage offered by TRS phone connectors used for balanced microphone inputs is that a standard unbalanced signal lead using a TS phone jack can simply be plugged into such an input. The ring (right channel) contact then makes contact with the plug body, correctly grounding the inverting input.</p> <p>A disadvantage of using phone connectors for balanced audio connections is that the ground mates last and the socket grounds the plug tip and ring when inserting or disconnecting the plug. This causes bursts of hum, cracks and pops and may stress some outputs as they will be short circuited briefly, or longer if the plug is left half in.</p> <p>This problem does not occur when using the 'gauge B' (BPO) phone connector (PO 316)<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span>[</span>28<span>]</span></a></sup> which although it is of 0.25 in (6.3 mm) diameter has a smaller tip and a recessed ring so that the ground contact of the socket never touches the tip or ring of the plug. This type was designed for balanced audio use, being the original telephone 'switchboard' connector and is still common in broadcast, telecommunications and many professional audio applications where it is vital that permanent circuits being monitored (bridged) are not interrupted by the insertion or removal of connectors. This same tapered shape used in the 'gauge B' (BPO) plug can be seen also in aviation and military applications on various diameters of jack connector including the PJ-068 and 'bantam' plugs. The more common straight-sided profile used in domestic and commercial applications and discussed in most of this article is known as 'gauge A'.</p> <p>XLR connectors used in much professional audio equipment mate the ground signal on pin 1 first.</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Unbalanced_audio">Unbalanced audio</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phone_connector_(audio)&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Unbalanced audio">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <p>Phone connectors with three conductors are also commonly used as unbalanced audio <i>patch points</i> (or <i>insert points</i>, or simply <i>inserts</i>), with the output on many mixers found on the tip (left channel) and the input on the ring (right channel). This is often expressed as "tip send, ring return". Other mixers have unbalanced insert points with "ring send, tip return". One advantage of this system is that the switch contact within the panel socket, originally designed for other purposes, can be used to close the circuit when the patch point is not in use. An advantage of the <i>tip send</i> patch point is that if it is used as an output only, a 2-conductor mono phone plug correctly grounds the input. In the same fashion, use of a "tip return" insert style allows a mono phone plug to bring an unbalanced signal directly into the circuit, though in this case the output must be robust enough to withstand being grounded. Combining <i>send</i> and <i>return</i> functions via single <span class="frac nowrap"><sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>4</sub></span> in TRS connectors in this way is seen in very many professional and semi-professional audio mixing desks, due to the halving of space needed for insert jack fields which would otherwise need two jacks, one for <i>send</i> and one for <i>return</i>. The tradeoff is that unbalanced signals are more prone to buzz, <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_hum" title="Mains hum">hum</a> and outside interference.</p> <p>In some three-conductor TRS phone inserts, the concept is extended by using specially designed phone jacks that will accept a mono phone plug partly inserted <i>to the first click</i> and will then connect the tip to the signal path without breaking it. Most standard phone connectors can also be used in this way with varying success, but neither the switch contact nor the tip contact can be relied upon unless the internal contacts have been designed with extra strength for holding the plug tip in place. Even with stronger contacts, an accidental mechanical movement of the inserted plug can interrupt signal within the circuit. For maximum reliability, any usage involving <i>first click</i> or <i>half-click</i> positions will instead rewire the plug to short tip and ring together and then insert this modified plug all the way into the jack.</p> <p>The TRS <i>tip return, ring send</i> unbalanced insert configuration is mostly found on older mixers. This allowed for the insert jack to serve as a standard-wired mono line input that would bypass the mic preamp. However tip send has become the generally accepted standard for mixer inserts since the early-to-mid 1990s. The TRS <i>ring send</i> configuration is still found on some compressor sidechain input jacks such as the dbx 166XL.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span>[</span>29<span>]</span></a></sup></p> <p>In some very compact equipment, 3.5 mm TRS phone connectors are used as patch points.</p> <p>Some <a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_recording" title="Sound recording" class="mw-redirect">sound recording</a> devices use a three-conductor phone connector as a mono microphone input, using the tip as the signal path and the ring to connect a standby switch on the microphone.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="See_also">See also</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phone_connector_(audio)&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: See also">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <div class="noprint portal tright" style="border:solid #aaa 1px;margin:0.5em 0 0.5em 1em"> <table style="background:#f9f9f9;font-size:85%;line-height:110%;max-width:175px"> <tr style="vertical-align:middle"> <td style="text-align:center"><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nuvola_apps_ksim.png" class="image"><img alt="Portal icon" src="//web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/Nuvola_apps_ksim.png/28px-Nuvola_apps_ksim.png" width="28" height="28" class="noviewer" srcset="//web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/Nuvola_apps_ksim.png/42px-Nuvola_apps_ksim.png 1.5x, //web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/Nuvola_apps_ksim.png/56px-Nuvola_apps_ksim.png 2x" data-file-width="128" data-file-height="128"/></a></td> <td style="padding:0 0.2em;vertical-align:middle;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold"><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Electronics" title="Portal:Electronics">Electronics portal</a></td> </tr> </table> </div> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_level" title="Line level">Line level</a></li> </ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="References">References</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20150320184329/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phone_connector_(audio)&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: References">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <table class="mbox-small plainlinks" style="border:1px solid #aaa;background-color:#f9f9f9"> <tr> <td class="mbox-image"><img alt="" src="//web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/Commons-logo.svg/30px-Commons-logo.svg.png" width="30" height="40" srcset="//web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/Commons-logo.svg/45px-Commons-logo.svg.png 1.5x, //web.archive.org/web/20150320184329im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/Commons-logo.svg/59px-Commons-logo.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="1376"/></td> <td class="mbox-text plainlist">Wikimedia Commons has media related to <i><b><a href="//web.archive.org/web/20150320184329/http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:TRS_connector" class="extiw" title="commons:Category:TRS connector">TRS connector</a></b></i>.</td> </tr> </table> <div class="reflist columns references-column-width" style="-moz-column-width: 30em;
