Most of the models have been released under multiple names, depending on region of release, currently usually indicated by a letter added to the end of the model number ('i' for international, 'a' for North America, and 'c' for mainland China), but indicated on some (mostly older) models by a slightly differing model number. Typically, there
180-403: A 6.35 mm ( 1 ⁄ 4 in) jack, Bantam connectors are used for mixing console and outboard patchbays in recording studio and live sound applications, where large numbers of patch points are needed in a limited space. The slightly different shape of Bantam plugs is also less likely to cause shorting as they are plugged in. A two-pin version, known to the telecom industry as
270-895: A UK NATO or European NATO connector. In the most common arrangement, consistent with the original intention of the design, the male plug is connected to a cable, and the female socket is mounted in a piece of equipment. A considerable variety of line plugs and panel sockets is available, including plugs suiting various cable sizes, right-angle plugs, and both plugs and sockets in a variety of price ranges and with current capacities up to 15 amperes for certain heavy-duty 1 ⁄ 4 in versions intended for loudspeaker connections. Common uses of phone plugs and their matching sockets include: Any number of 3.5 mm sockets for input and output may be found on personal computers , either from integrated sound hardware common on motherboards or from insertable sound cards . The 1999 PC System Design Guide's color code for 3.5 mm TRS sockets
360-554: A "310 connector", consists of two 1 ⁄ 4 -inch phone plugs at a centre spacing of 5 ⁄ 8 inch (16 mm). The socket versions of these can be used with normal phone plugs provided the plug bodies are not too large, but the plug version will only mate with two sockets at 5 ⁄ 8 inches centre spacing, or with line sockets, again with sufficiently small bodies. These connectors are still used today in telephone company central offices on "DSX" patch panels for DS1 circuits . A similar type of 3.5 mm connector
450-607: A 0.281 in (7.1 mm) diameter shaft with four conductors, allowing two for the headphones, and two for the microphone. Also used is the U-384/U (Nexus TP-105), which has the same diameter as the U-174/U but is slightly longer and has 5 conductors instead of 4. There is a confusingly similar four-conductor British connector, Type 671 (10H/18575), with a slightly larger diameter of 7.57 mm (0.298 in) used for headsets in many UK military aircraft and often referred to as
540-481: A Competitive Industrial Performance (CIP) Index, which measures the competitive manufacturing ability of different nations. The CIP Index combines a nation's gross manufacturing output with other factors like high-tech capability and the nation's impact on the world economy. Germany topped the 2020 CIP Index, followed by China, South Korea , the United States, and Japan. In 2023, the manufacturing industry in
630-657: A letter after the model number. Example: W200 was released as W200a (for the Americas), W200c (for China) and W200i (rest of the world). The default release letter for most models is "i" which means international. Some phones are part of Sony Ericsson's " Greenheart " range. The first Entertainment Unlimited phones were announced and launched in 2009, creating a new category where the benefits of audio and images were "combined in smart, good-looking and high-performing devices." Apart from first-rate audio-visual strength, what these products have in common are differentiating factors in
720-416: A mic) are often compatible with standard TRS stereo headphones, whereby the contact that expects a mic signal will instead simply become shorted to ground and thus will provide a zero signal. Conversely, those TRRS headsets can plug into TRS sockets, in which case its speakers may still work even though its mic won't work (the mic's signal contact will be disconnected). Because of a lack of standardization in
810-572: A number of models for different purposes, including: By 1950, the two main plug designs were: Several modern designs have descended from those earlier versions: U.S. military versions of the Western Electric plugs were initially specified in Amendment No.1, MIL-P-642, and included: The 3.5 mm or miniature size was originally designed in the 1950s as two-conductor connectors for earpieces on transistor radios , and remains
900-464: A pair of phone connectors. A standard 1 ⁄ 4 -inch (6.3 mm) 2 or 3-conductor plug, type PJ-055, is used for headphones. For the microphone, a smaller 3 ⁄ 16 -inch (0.206 inch / 5.23 mm) diameter 3-conductor plug, type PJ-068, is used. Military aircraft and civil helicopters have another type termed the U-174/U (Nexus TP-101), also known as U-93A/U (Nexus TP-102) and Nexus TP-120. These are also known as US NATO plugs. These have
990-548: A patent in 1901 for improved construction of the telephone switchboard-plug with today's 1 ⁄ 4 inch TS form still used on audio equipment. Western Electric was the manufacturing arm of the Bell System , and thus originated or refined most of the engineering designs, including the telephone jacks and plugs which were later adopted by other industries, including the US military . By 1907, Western Electric had designed

However, partially inserting the plug will work as the tip/ring/ring distances are the same for both variants. A shorter plug in a socket designed for the longer connector may not be retained firmly and may result in wrong signal routing or
1170-575: A result, they make only a reactive contribution. Emerging technologies have offered new growth methods in advanced manufacturing employment opportunities, for example in the Manufacturing Belt in the United States. Manufacturing provides important material support for national infrastructure and also for national defense . On the other hand, most manufacturing processes may involve significant social and environmental costs. The clean-up costs of hazardous waste , for example, may outweigh
1260-412: A short circuit inside the equipment (e.g. the plug tip may cause the contacts inside the receptacle – tip/ring 1, etc. – to short together). The shorter 15 mm TRRS variant is more common and physically compatible with standard 3.5 mm TRS and TS connectors. Many small video cameras, laptops, recorders and other consumer devices use a 3.5 mm microphone connector for attaching a microphone to
1350-577: A shorter tip. Professional audio and the telecommunication industry use a 0.173 in (4.4 mm) diameter plug, associated with trademarked names including Bantam , TT, Tini-Telephone, and Tini-Tel. They are not compatible with standard EIA RS-453/IEC 60603-11 1 ⁄ 4 -inch jacks. In addition to a slightly smaller diameter, they have a slightly different geometry. The three-conductor TRS versions are capable of handling balanced signals and are used in professional audio installations. Though unable to handle as much power, and less reliable than
1440-433: A single three-conductor socket (for the front speakers) and two four-conductor sockets. This is to accommodate rear-center (6.1) or rear left and right (7.1) channels without the need for additional sockets on the sound card. Some portable computers have a combined 3.5 mm TRS/ TOSLINK jack, supporting stereo audio output using either a TRS connector or TOSLINK (stereo or 5.1 Dolby Digital / DTS ) digital output using
1530-531: A standard still used today. This roughly half-sized version of the original, popularized by the Sony EFM-117J radio (released in 1964), is still commonly used in portable applications and has a length of 15 millimetres (0.59 in). The three-conductor version became very popular with its application on the Walkman in 1979, as unlike earlier transistor radios, these devices had no speaker of their own;
1620-484: A stereo input socket for a mic. The back panel may have additional sockets, most commonly for line out , mic , line in , and less commonly for multiple surround sound outs. Laptops and tablets tend to have fewer sockets than desktops due to size constraints. Some computers include a 3.5 mm TRS socket for mono microphone that delivers a 5 V bias voltage on the ring to power an electret microphone 's integrated buffer amplifier , though details depend on
1710-448: A stone tool, a " core " of hard stone with specific flaking properties (such as flint ) was struck with a hammerstone . This flaking produced sharp edges that could be used as tools, primarily in the form of choppers or scrapers . These tools greatly aided the early humans in their hunter-gatherer lifestyle to form other tools out of softer materials such as bone and wood. The Middle Paleolithic , approximately 300,000 years ago, saw
1800-546: A suitable optical adapter. Most iMac computers have this digital/analog combo output feature as standard, with early MacBooks having two ports, one for analog/digital audio input and the other for output. Support for input was dropped on various later models The original application for the 6.35 mm ( 1 ⁄ 4 in) phone jack was in manual telephone exchanges. Many different configurations of these phone plugs were used, some accommodating five or more conductors, with several tip profiles. Of these many varieties, only

#17327920072611980-444: Is a family of cylindrically -shaped electrical connectors primarily for analog audio signals . Invented in the late 19th century for tele phone switchboards , the phone connector remains in use for interfacing wired audio equipment , such as head phones , speakers , micro phones , mixing consoles , and electronic musical instruments (e.g. electric guitars , keyboards , and effects units ). A male connector (a plug),
2070-502: Is believed to have originated when the technology of pottery kiln allowed sufficiently high temperatures. The concentration of various elements such as arsenic increase with depth in copper ore deposits and smelting of these ores yields arsenical bronze , which can be sufficiently work-hardened to be suitable for manufacturing tools. Bronze is an alloy of copper with tin; the latter of which being found in relatively few deposits globally delayed true tin bronze becoming widespread. During
2160-545: Is common to simply name the connector according its number of rings: The sleeve is usually a common ground reference voltage or return current for signals in the tip and any rings . Thus, the number of transmittable signals is less than the number of contacts. The outside diameter of the sleeve is 6.35 millimetres ( 1 ⁄ 4 inch) for full-sized connectors, 3.5 mm ( 1 ⁄ 8 in) for " mini " connectors, and only 2.5 mm ( 1 ⁄ 10 in) for " sub-mini " connectors. Rings are typically
2250-451: Is common, which assigns pink for microphone , light blue for line in , and lime for line level . AC'97 and its 2004 successor Intel High Definition Audio have been widely adopted specifications that, while not mandating physical sockets, do provide specifications for a front panel connector with pin assignments for two ports with jack detection. Front panels commonly have a stereo output socket for headphones and (slightly less commonly)
2340-484: Is conventionally defined by the widespread manufacturing of weapons and tools using iron and steel rather than bronze. Iron smelting is more difficult than tin and copper smelting because smelted iron requires hot-working and can be melted only in specially designed furnaces. The place and time for the discovery of iron smelting is not known, partly because of the difficulty of distinguishing metal extracted from nickel-containing ores from hot-worked meteoritic iron. During
2430-470: Is inserted into a hole and makes contact with that lever, the lever pivots and breaks its normal connection. The receptacle was called a jack-knife because of its resemblance to a pocket clasp-knife . This is said to be the origin of calling the receptacle a jack . Scribner filed a patent in 1880 which removes the lever and resembles the modern connector and made improvements to switchboard design in subsequent patents filed in 1882. Henry P. Clausen filed
2520-611: Is likely derived from the Middle French manufacture ("process of making") which itself originates from the Classical Latin manū ("hand") and Middle French facture ("making"). Alternatively, the English word may have been independently formed from the earlier English manufacture ("made by human hands") and fracture . Its earliest usage in the English language was recorded in the mid-16th century to refer to
2610-419: Is mated into a female connector (a socket), though other terminology is used. Plugs have 2 to 5 electrical contacts . The tip contact is indented with a groove. The sleeve contact is nearest the (conductive or insulated) handle . Contacts are insulated from each other by a band of non-conductive material. Between the tip and sleeve are 0 to 3 ring contacts. Since phone connectors have many uses, it
2700-437: Is now common and may be transmitted via USB sound cards , USB headphones, Bluetooth , display connectors with integrated sound (e.g. DisplayPort and HDMI ). Digital devices may also have internal speakers and mics. Thus the phone connector is sometimes considered redundant and a waste of space, particularly on thinner mobile devices . And while low-profile surface-mount sockets waterproofed up to 1 meter exist, removing
2790-489: Is often used in the armrests of older aircraft, as part of the on-board in-flight entertainment system. Plugging a stereo plug into one of the two mono jacks typically results in the audio coming into only one ear. Adapters are available. A short-barrelled version of the phone plug was used for 20th-century high-impedance mono headphones, and in particular those used in World War II aircraft . These have become rare. It

2880-577: Is one version for the European and US market, and another for the Asian market. However, some models have yet more versions. Most "Walkman" branded models are also released as a non-Walkman version; such as Sony Ericsson W580 and the S500 . These versions usually differ only slightly. Each phone in boldface indicates that the phone is a smartphone . S = Status, where P indicates under production , D
2970-457: Is physically possible to use a normal plug in a short socket, but a short plug will neither lock into a normal socket nor complete the tip circuit. Less commonly used sizes, both diameters and lengths, are also available from some manufacturers, and are used when it is desired to restrict the availability of matching connectors, such as 0.210-inch (5.3 mm) inside diameter jacks for fire safety communication in public buildings. Digital audio

The term may refer to a range of human activity , from handicraft to high-tech , but it is most commonly applied to industrial design , in which raw materials from the primary sector are transformed into finished goods on a large scale. Such goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other more complex products (such as aircraft, household appliances , furniture, sports equipment or automobiles ), or distributed via
3150-499: The Bronze Age , bronze was a major improvement over stone as a material for making tools, both because of its mechanical properties like strength and ductility and because it could be cast in molds to make intricately shaped objects. Bronze significantly advanced shipbuilding technology with better tools and bronze nails, which replaced the old method of attaching boards of the hull with cord woven through drilled holes. The Iron Age

This was aided by the establishment of electric utilities with central stations and the lowering of electricity prices from 1914 to 1917. Electric motors allowed more flexibility in manufacturing and required less maintenance than line shafts and belts. Many factories witnessed a 30% increase in output owing to
3600-590: The 3.5 mm plug and jack are used for certain applications. A four-conductor version is often used in compact camcorders and portable media players, providing stereo sound and composite analog video. It is also used for a combination of stereo audio, a microphone, and controlling media playback, calls, volume and/or a virtual assistant on some laptop computers and most mobile phones , and some handheld amateur radio transceivers from Yaesu . Some headphone amplifiers have used it to connect balanced stereo headphones, which require two conductors per audio channel as

The stocking frame , which was invented in 1598, increased a knitter's number of knots per minute from 100 to 1000. The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in Europe and the United States from 1760 to
4590-474: The channels do not share a common ground. By the 1940s, broadcast radio stations were using Western Electric Code No. 103 plugs and matching jacks for patching audio throughout studios. This connector was used because of its use in AT&;T 's Long Line circuits for the distribution of audio programs over the radio networks' leased telephone lines. Because of the large amount of space these patch panels required,

This view led to the theory of "trade offs" in manufacturing strategy. Similarly, Elizabeth Haas wrote in 1987 about the delivery of value in manufacturing for customers in terms of "lower prices, greater service responsiveness or higher quality". The theory of "trade offs" has subsequently being debated and questioned, but Skinner wrote in 1992 that at that time "enthusiasm for

This can result in a contact in the socket bridging (shorting)
6570-627: The period, such as the increasing adoption of locomotives, steamboats and steamships, hot blast iron smelting and new technologies, such as the electrical telegraph , were widely introduced in the 1840s and 1850s, were not powerful enough to drive high rates of growth. Rapid economic growth began to occur after 1870, springing from a new group of innovations in what has been called the Second Industrial Revolution . These innovations included new steel making processes , mass-production , assembly lines , electrical grid systems,
6660-527: The production flow and some had special carriages for rolling heavy items into machining positions. Production of the Ford Model T used 32,000 machine tools. Lean manufacturing , also known as just-in-time manufacturing, was developed in Japan in the 1930s. It is a production method aimed primarily at reducing times within the production system as well as response times from suppliers and to customers. It
6750-451: The right channel of the amplifier. This attempt has long been abandoned, and now the convention is that all plugs fit all sockets of the same size, regardless of whether they are balanced or unbalanced, mono or stereo. Most 6.35 mm plugs, mono or stereo, now have the profile of the original stereo plug, although a few rounded mono plugs are still produced. The profiles of stereo miniature and sub-miniature plugs have always been identical to
6840-411: The ring and sleeve contacts on a phone connector. Equipment requiring video with stereo audio input or output sometimes uses 3.5 mm TRRS connectors. Two incompatible variants exist, of 15 millimetres (0.59 in) and 17 mm (0.67 in) length, and using the wrong variant may either simply not work, or could cause physical damage. Attempting to fully insert the longer (17 mm) plug into
6930-541: The same diameter as the sleeve. The 1902 International Library of Technology simply uses jack for the female and plug for the male connector. The 1989 Sound Reinforcement Handbook uses phone jack for the female and phone plug for the male connector. Robert McLeish, who worked at the BBC , uses jack or jack socket for the female and jack plug for the male connector in his 2005 book Radio Production . The American Society of Mechanical Engineers , as of 2007, says
7020-586: The same level of popularity or sales as its predecessor, the K800i, because it was not intended to be a " flagship model." The Sony Ericsson G700 was announced at the Mobile World Congress (formerly 3GSM congress) February 2008 and is based on the Symbian OS 9.1 UIQ 3.0 platform. The handset has had below average reviews, with a lot of reviewers criticizing the phone for being priced too high as
7110-566: The socket entirely facilitates waterproofing . Chinese phone manufacturers were early in not using a phone socket: first with Oppo 's Finder in July 2012 (which came packaged with micro-USB headphones and supported Bluetooth headphones ), followed by Vivo 's X5Max in 2014 and LeEco in April 2016 and Lenovo 's Moto Z in September 2016. Apple 's September 2016 announcement of the iPhone 7
7200-606: The system used on the company's "Walkman" series handsets. The phone is the first in Sony Ericsson's new ' Cyber-shot ' C-series of phones, designed to be a successor to the popular K800i and the K850 . The C902 is featured in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace , and has been praised for its user interface design and its build quality. Although the device received favorable reviews, analysts did not expect it to reach
7290-437: The then-well-known technique of chain or sequential production. Ford also bought or designed and built special purpose machine tools and fixtures such as multiple spindle drill presses that could drill every hole on one side of an engine block in one operation and a multiple head milling machine that could simultaneously machine 15 engine blocks held on a single fixture. All of these machine tools were arranged systematically in
7380-499: The two-conductor version with a rounded tip profile was compatible between different manufacturers, and this was the design that was at first adopted for use with microphones , electric guitars, headphones , loudspeakers , and other audio equipment . When a three-conductor version of the 6.35 mm plug was introduced for use with stereo headphones, it was given a sharper tip profile to make it possible to manufacture jacks that would accept only stereo plugs, to avoid short-circuiting
7470-627: The user interface, borrowing from the wider Sony Group UI-developments. Aino is the first product that connects into the world of the Sony PlayStation remotely via remote media play. Vivaz is the first Sony Ericsson phone supporting high-definition (HD) video capture. Note: These lists are not intended to be all inclusive. Some information may be missing, or out of date. Note: Lists are incomplete. Some information may be missing. sun visor handsfree (bluetooth) HCH- xx phone holder
7560-402: The usual way to listen to them was to plug in headphones. There is also an EIA standard for 0.141-inch miniature phone jacks. The 2.5 mm or sub-miniature sizes were similarly popularized on small portable electronics. They often appeared next to a 3.5 mm microphone jack for a remote control on-off switch on early portable tape recorders; the microphone provided with such machines had
7650-431: The world focus on such things as: In addition to general overviews, researchers have examined the features and factors affecting particular key aspects of manufacturing development. They have compared production and investment in a range of Western and non-Western countries and presented case studies of growth and performance in important individual industries and market-economic sectors. On June 26, 2009, Jeff Immelt ,
7740-518: Was initially mocked for removing the socket by other manufacturers like Samsung and Google who eventually followed suit. The socket is also not present in some tablets and thin laptops (e.g. Lenovo Duet Chromebook and Asus ZenBook 13 in 2020 ). The US military uses a variety of phone connectors including 9 ⁄ 32 -inch (0.281-inch, 7.14 mm) and 1 ⁄ 4 -inch (0.25 inch, 6.35 mm) diameter plugs. Commercial and general aviation (GA) civil aircraft headsets often use
7830-455: Was installed or 1878, when an early switchboard was used for the first commercial manual telephone exchange in New Haven created by George W. Coy . Charles E. Scribner filed a patent in 1878 to facilitate switchboard operation using his spring-jack switch . In it, a conductive lever pushed by a spring is normally connected to one contact. But when a cable with a conductive plug
7920-857: Was introduced in Australia in the 1950s by the British Motor Corporation (Australia) at its Victoria Park plant in Sydney, from where the idea later migrated to Toyota. News spread to western countries from Japan in 1977 in two English-language articles: one referred to the methodology as the "Ohno system", after Taiichi Ohno , who was instrumental in its development within Toyota. The other article, by Toyota authors in an international journal, provided additional details. Finally, those and other publicity were translated into implementations, beginning in 1980 and then quickly multiplying throughout
8010-481: Was mechanized during the mid 19th century. Mass production of sewing machines and agricultural machinery such as reapers occurred in the mid to late 19th century. The mass production of bicycles started in the 1880s. Steam-powered factories became widespread, although the conversion from water power to steam occurred in England earlier than in the U.S. Electrification of factories, which had begun gradually in
8100-483: Was now used to handle 150 dozen bottles at a time whereas previously used hand trucks could only carry 6 dozen bottles at a time. Electric mixers replaced men with shovels handling sand and other ingredients that were fed into the glass furnace. An electric overhead crane replaced 36 day laborers for moving heavy loads across the factory. Mass production was popularized in the late 1910s and 1920s by Henry Ford 's Ford Motor Company , which introduced electric motors to
