TRRS Audio Plug - 3.5mm (Metal)

The TRRS Audio Plug - 3.5mm (Metal) by Sparkfun is a versatile connector designed for audio-style devices such as phones, MP3 players, and development boards.

The package includes a plug with solder-point connections and a shroud to cover these solder connections, ensuring a secure and clean finish to your projects.
