Abstract:
This report covers the concentric connectors known as phone plugs and jacks that are widely used in the audio industry for the interconnection of sound system components as general-use consumer tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) types as well as for the interconnection of broadcast and other professional systems, such as professional TRS types. Because differing dimensions specified by various standards often result in mechanical and, as a consequence, electrical incompatibilities among the various TRS jacks and plugs, this report surveys the standards, connectors, and possible incompatibility problems.
