I've just received the parts for my first electronic project, a simple distortion pedal for guitar. Having read the instructions my first worry is that I don't know which part of the (female) jack is which.
The project uses two (female) jacks, a stereo and a mono. Does anyone have a diagram of a jack with each pin labelled?

Thanks
 

Re: Jack Labelling

rankz,
Your picture is of a stereo jack. The terminal that connects to the threaded mouniting is ground (common). The other terminals are the left and right stereo channels. The terminal that connects to tha longest contact is right. The other terminal is left. A Mono jack has only one terminal in addition to ground. It corresponds to the longest contact in your photograph.

That confused me. This is the project I am building and it uses the terms 'tip' 'sleeve' and 'ring' when refuring to the jacks; **broken link removed**

Thanks for the responce

rankz,
The drawing in h**p://www.lanshack.com/wire_phone_jack.aspx should clear things up.
