Overview

Classic screw-on adapter from 3.5 mm TRS male to 6.35 mm TRS female. Pass-through wiring (L–R–G to L–R–G) with no impedance modification. Brass body, nickel or gold contact plating depending on tier.

The single most-shipped audio adapter on the planet, used to step a portable-headphone 3.5 mm plug up to the 6.35 mm jacks that dominate desktop and pro-audio sources. Look for a thread-on (rather than friction-fit) variant for permanent attachment.

Pairs with desktop sources like the desktop headphone amp and the tube headphone amp. For the reverse direction see 6.35 mm → 3.5 mm adapter.
