- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5764:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged.

## Description

Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve style audio cables are often used for situations where you want stereo audio and then an extra contact for a microphone input. [For example, headsets for cell phones](https://core-electronics.com.au/analog-potentiometer-volume-adjustable-trrs-headset.html). Also called TRRS jacks for short, they're also handy if you happen to want to use common audio cables for low-speed data transmission with power, ground and two data lines.

This breakout board is simple but has everything you need to interface with TRRS cables: not only do you get the four contacts but also two switched outputs:

- When the jack is *not inserted*, the left switch is connected to the left contact and the right switch to the right contact.
- When the jack *is inserted*, the left and right switch pins 'float'. You can use these switches to auto-switch from a built in speaker to headphone when plugged in, or [to detect when headphone is not inserted to power down or mute](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/95575/how-does-the-phone-detect-if-3-5-mm-jack-circuit-is-closed).

Adafruit like this jack in particular because it has two through-hole contacts near the opening for a good mechanical connection. Comes fully assembled on a breakout board with mounting holes and lil bit of header in case you want to use it with a breadboard.
