NOTES: The length of exposed wires is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If the stripped section of wire is longer than 3/16 inch, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit. If it is shorter than 3/16 inch, wires can be easily pulled out of the captive screw connectors. Figure 5 identifies the tip, ring, and sleeve parts of standard audio connectors. A mono audio connector consists of the tip and sleeve. A stereo audio connector consists of the tip, ring and sleeve.
