编辑“︁TRS端子”︁（章节）

== 命名规范 ==
在使用英语的国家，TRS端子的相关名称可能会引起混淆。

1902年由{{link-en|国际教科书公司（I.T.C.）|International Textbook Company}}出版的《[[wikisource:International Library of Technology|国际科技丛书]]》用“Jack”表示插孔，“Plug”表示插头<ref>{{cite book |url= https://archive.org/details/internationalli04compgoog |title= International Library of Technology: ...&nbsp;Principles of Telephony&nbsp;... |publisher= International Textbook Company, Scranton, PA |year= 1907 |page= [https://archive.org/details/internationalli04compgoog/page/n52 36] |quote=tip ring sleeve 0-1922.}}</ref>。1989年由[[哈尔·伦纳德公司]]出版的《扩声手册》使用“Phone jack”表示插孔，“Phone plug”表示插头<ref>{{cite book |author= Gary D. Davis and Ralph Jones |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=d7ft6F8ZUdcC&q=%22phone+plug%22+%22phone+jack%22&pg=PA64 |title= The Sound Reinforcement Handbook |publisher= Hal Leonard |year= 1989 |isbn= 0-88188-900-8}}</ref>。而在2005年出版的《无线电产品》一书中，作者Robert McLeish用“Jack”或“Jack socket”表示插孔，用“Jack plug”表示插头<ref>{{cite book |author= Robert McLeish |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=JzJJ6kg3hLUC&q=%22jack+socket%22+%22jack+plug%22&pg=PA331 |title= Radio Production |publisher= Newnes
|year= 2005 |isbn= 0-240-51972-8}}</ref>。到了2007年，[[美國機械工程師學會|美国机械工程师学会]]（ASME）建议不以插头与插孔的形态差异做区分，而是使用“Jack”来表示固定接口，用“Plug”表示移动接口<ref>{{cite book |url=http://catalog.asme.org/Codes/PrintBook/Y1444_Reference_Designations.cfm |title= Reference Designations for Electrical and Electronics Parts and Equipment: ASME Y14.44-2008 (Replaced IEEE 200-1975): Section 2.1.5.3 |publisher= ASME, Fairfield, NJ |year= 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100313114131/http://catalog.asme.org/Codes/PrintBook/Y1444_Reference_Designations.cfm |archive-date= 2010-03-13 |url-status= dead}}</ref>。[[电气电子工程师学会|IEEE]]也曾在1975年制订了相关标准，但在1997年又撤销了该标准<ref>{{cite book |url= https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ieee-200-1975 |title= Standard Reference Designations for Electrical and Electronics Parts and Equipments: IEEE 200-1975 (Reaffirmed 1988): Section 4.1.5.3 |publisher= IEEE and ANSI, New York, NY |year= 1975 |access-date= 2024-04-05 |archive-date= 2022-11-22 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20221122090739/https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ieee-200-1975 |dead-url= no}}</ref>。

TRS端子的广泛使用还催生出了诸如“Audio jack”、“Headphone jack”、“Stereo plug”、“Microphone jack”和“Aux input”等名称。在音频行业，为了与[[XLR端子]]区分，工程师通常将TRS端子简称为{{frac|1|4}}英寸（quarter inch）。对于尺寸为3.5mm的端子，常被叫做“Mini-phone”、“Mini-stereo”或“Mini jack”。

[[RCA端子]]与TRS端子外形不同，但前者的英文名称“RCA phono connector”类似于“phono plugs”和“phono jacks”（在英国被称为“phono sockets”）。3.5mm端子有时被称为“mini phonos”<ref name="mini-phono" />，这与接口制造商的命名惯例相悖<ref name="not_mini_phono" />。

同时由于“Phone jack”和“Phone plug”有时也会代指[[水晶头|RJ11]]和[[电话插座|电话接口]]，因此也可能产生误解。
