'DIN connectors' typically refers to members of a specific series of circular plug/sockets, that have a 13.2mm-diameter round metal friction locking shield. Right: 4-pin mini-DIN (here on an S-Video adapter cable)ĭIN refers to a whole standardization body. Which allows them to add functionality over time. (The impedance of the microphone itself is considerably higher, and sense-wise acts as the default)Įverything else seems to be proprietary signaling, The buttons don't need extra wires in a TRRS plug because they'll be using different resistor values between mic and ground pins.Ġ.70 ohm Function A, play/pause/takecallġ10.180 ohm Function D, typically voice commands It's handy to have adapters with RCA, in that sometimes you can get around variations by plugging things differently IPod's AV cable (Left Right Ground Video) The general standard: Left Right Mic Ground (OMTP)Īpple being different: Left Right Ground Mic (CTIA) TRRS for headphone, mic and/or buttons ].Sturdier variant of 3.5mm, same level and pinout Has some other uses, like carrying audio and (composite) video on one plug (e.g. Is probably mostly associated with having headphones that include a microphone, around smart phones. 3.5mm is frequently seen in TS, TRS, and occasionally TRRS. The original 1/4' had two contacts, so had a tip and sleeve (TS).

(it seems they're always manufactured to mm sizes, so the inch figures are just names) while 2.5mm and 3.5mm are standardized by millimeters, so the inches are approximations there. The 1/4 size is standardized by an inch size because of its phone network origins ( verify), Often carries consumer line level audio signals, or consumer microphone level when it involves microphones (often electret)Ģ.5mm Americans refer to it as 3/32' (0.09375') though it's more like 0.098' Sometimes phone connector but that suggests the 1/4' one

Used for guitars, pro line level (balanced or not), and sometimes for consumer headphonesģ.5mm Americans refer to it as 1/8' (0.125') though it's more like 0.138'īest known for three-band ( TRS) in headphones for stereo sound, used that way for a few dozen years, then often referred to as audio jack, mini-jack, jack plug, stereo plug, and others. These days they are mostly seen in audio use see also below. The 1/4', which is precisely 6.35mm originates from the design of the first telephone exchanges ( verify). The history of plugs like these is complex, and there are some leftovers today that use less usual variants.īut what you're most likely to meet is primarily: The 6.35mm was classically called phone connector (though telephone jack may refer to modular connectors instead), now largely associated with guitar wires.

The 3.5mm is often known as headphone jack, mono jack or stereo jack, mini jack, and sometimes things like mini-phone. 'TRS' may be clearer when distinguishing it from plugs in similar use, but the everyday names we use are more specific - and somewhat regional.
