THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JACKS AND PLUGS

 After some really frustrating eBay searches for 1/4" phono jacks (you know, instrument jacks) I feel the need to chime in with a simple fact for people:

JACKS and PLUGS are different!

Unlike humans, there are hard definitions when it comes to connector mating pairs and gender.

FEMALE JACKS do not exist - those are called... JACKS.

MALE JACKS also do not exist - those are called... PLUGS.

You PLUG a cord into a JACK.

Good grief!
