The JACK connector

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

The versions

The different versions of Jack connectors, based on 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.

Mini Jack: 3.5 mm (1/8" in Anglo-Saxon standard), used for headphones, smartphones, MP3 players, sound cards, etc.

Jack: 6.3 mm (1/4" in Anglo-Saxon standard), used for musical instruments, headphones, amplifiers, etc.
