CTIA/AHJ 3.5mm plugs
« on: October 21, 2019, 02:34:58 PM »

Anyone know a place that sells these? Looking for some quality ones with metal shells.
Most that I have found online have ground connected to shield. I’m looking for ones following the CTIA/AHJ standard with ground (and case) connected to R2.

Neutrik doesn’t seem to have one and I didn’t see a SC one either.

Have you looked at Mouser?  They seem to have everything in the world. ::)

Yeah, theirs have the same issue that the other "common" ones have, not built for CTIA/AHJ wiring.

I'm not even sure if such a beast exists...

Hey Pete;

Have you gotten one of these, and can confirm the shell is connected to R2, not sleeve?

So far, I've never seen one that was built "as I feel it should be".

The conductors are named, from Tip to Shell:
Tip
Ring 1
Ring 2
Sleeve

Sleeve on any normal connection is ground, attached to the shell. The CTIA/AHJ standard, used on all Apple Products and all modern notebooks has the Sleeve connected to Mic+. Ring 2 (R2) is connected to ground. A metal shell on any 3.5mm TRRS connectors I've seen would then also connect to the Mic+. Likely causing a hum when you grip the connector, and certainly not offering any shielding.
