Hey there! As a tech enthusiast, the first thing that comes to my mind is a TRS connector! In the world of audio and electronics, TRS is super common. It stands for Tip, Ring, Sleeve, which refers to the three contact points on a standard stereo audio plug, like the one on your headphones. The Tip carries the left-channel audio signal, the Ring carries the right-channel signal, and the Sleeve acts as the common ground. This is different from a TS (Tip, Sleeve) connector, which is used for mono, unbalanced signals. So if you're dealing with audio equipment, guitars, or professional sound mixing boards, you'll hear "TRS cable" all the time. It's the reason you can hear music in stereo from your headphones! Always important to know your connectors.
