What it mates with
Mating is directional, so the two lists below are genuinely different: a TS plug in a TRS socket and a TRS plug in a TS socket short different things.
3.5 mm TS plug used as the plug
Partial fit
3.5 mm TRS jack
Same failure as the quarter-inch case, at eighth-inch scale.
- shortThe plug's sleeve bridges the jack's ring to ground, so the right channel is shorted out.
3.5 mm TS plug used as the receptacle
Nothing recorded with this connector as the receptacle.
