The terms phone plug, and phone jack for the corresponding socket, are also used for these connectors, especially for the original 1/4" size. Note that this is in contrast to the terms phono plug and phono jack which normally refer to RCA connectors.

Modern jack plugs are available in three standard sizes. The original 6.5mm or 1/4", more accurately known as 6.3mm, dates from 1878, for use in manual telephone exchanges—making it possibly the oldest electrical connector standard on earth still in use. The 3.5mm or miniature and 2.5mm or subminiature sizes were originally designed as two-conductor connectors for earpieces on transistor radios. The 3.5mm and 2.5mm sizes are also referred to as 1/8" and 3/32" respectively in the United States. All three sizes are now readily available in two-conductor (mono) and three-conductor (stereo or tip ring sleeve) versions.
