The JACK connector

The Jack connector (Jack plug or simply Jack) is an electrical connector commonly used to carry very low voltage signals, mostly analog audio signals. It was invented in the 19th century for use in telephone switchboards and is one of the oldest electrical connector standards still in use.

The versions

The different versions of Jack connectors by contact availability are:

TS Jack: 2 contacts, used in audio for unbalanced signals

TRS Jack: 3 contacts, used in audio for stereo or balanced mono signals (also called Stereo Jack)

TRRS Jack: 4 contacts, used for stereo signals plus microphone or video channels, switches etc

TRRRS Jack: 5 contacts, used in some portable devices with dual microphone or balanced stereo output etc

The diameters

Sub Mini Jack: 2.5 mm, used for headphones, smartphones, consoles, camcorders etc

The shapes

Straight: the connector's output continues in the same direction as the cable

Angled at 90°: also called "L-shaped" Jacks, used for space reasons, to avoid impacts, often in combination with the flat shape
