Re: 7mm phone jack

I think it is the other way around as the 316 plug has a much smaller tip t=
han an igranic/TRS. Whereas putting an igranic/TRS into a 316 socket can ca=
use damage.

The BBC throw in another name to describe unbalanced =C2=BC=E2=80=9D jack p=
lugs (such as
guitar leads) and that is igranic.

It was used to positively identify any plug or socket that wasn=E2=80=99t p=

office.

If a post office plug, or 316 to give its proper name was inserted into a =
=C2=BC=E2=80=9D
socket, then the different tip shape could damage the socket.

They still seem to call balanced =C2=BC=E2=80=9D plugs as TRS through.

That's a reference I've never come across. I mix a lot of concerts in
metric-based countries & the standard term for these connectors is
"Jack".
