What is TRS connector?
Tip, ring, sleeve connectors (TRS) are electric stoppers and sockets that have three different contacts that are able to perform analog signals. These three conductive elements consist of a plug, a ring around the center of the plug and an outer sleeve on the base. Many connectors used the same basic structure, although only three sizes are commonly used. The TRS connector is the most common variant that uses this type of plug, although there are also versions of the tip, sleeve (TS) and tips, ring, ring, sleeves (TRRS). The headphone cables that are designed to transmit analog sound signals are one of the most popular uses for the TRS connector, although these plugs have other uses.
The first TRS connectors have been developed for use in early telephone switches where they can be easily connected and disconnected to trace calls. For this reason, these connectors are sometimes referred to as telephone plugs. Because these connectors use threelectric contaminatesThe acts placed on the tip, ring and sleeve of the plug, initialism "clumps" were also created to describe them.
Modern TRS connectors come in three basic sizes, each with different uses. The largest common TRS connector has a diameter of 0.25 inches (6.35 mm) and the smallest has a diameter of about 0.1 inches (2.5 mm). Many consumer electronics applications use the TRS connector version commonly known as a mini plug that has a diameter of 0.125 inches (3.5 mm). When this type of connector is used with stereo headphones, the left audio channel passes through the tip of the tip, the right channel via a circular connection and the sleeve acts as a common soil. Other applications use TRS connectors to transfer balanced monaural signals using the tip and circle contacts as positive and negative connections.
In addition to the basic clumps of Connector, a number of other plugs and Jack connectors share a very similar design. ConnectorTS is a variation that has only two electrical contacts, which is useful for the transmission of unbalanced mono signals. Another option is the TRRS connector, which has four contacts. These connectors are sometimes used with mobile phones and other similar devices because they can be used to transfer sound to a headset from the microphone and also include a type of control signal. Other variants, some of which are designed for use with camcorders may include even more contacts than the TRRS connector.
