⚠️ Important Notice: Soldering Required & 3-Pole TRS Wiring Configuration

1. Soldering Equipment Required: This is a bare component plug designed for DIY repair and custom cable building. Soldering with a soldering iron and solder wire is required to attach the conductors. It is not a tool-free or screw-on terminal plug.
2. TRS 3-Pole Stereo Only (No Mic): Features three electrical contact terminals: Tip (Left Channel), Ring (Right Channel), and Sleeve (Ground/Shield). It does NOT support microphone or inline remote functions (not for 4-pole TRRS gaming headsets).
3. Cable Wire Diameter Limit: The rear shell opening accommodates audio cables with an outer diameter up to 5mm (0.2 in).
