3.5mm stereo jack Problem

[moyakong]

Right now guys, im stucked with the stereao jack, for headphone, in all the forums, what i found, is that in order to connect it to the audio amp and speakers, you need 5 connections.
Problem, mine has THREE connections lol What can i do guys please? Again thanks for youre help.

Any suggestion?

I'm fairly certain that is a mono jack not stereo. Links are just for comparison.

Your best bet to see if it's stereo is to take a pair of head phones that are dead cut the Ear pieces off, plug the Jack in and test to see with a multimeter of there are shorts between 2 out of the 4 or 3 out of the 4. If this is confusing jusr post back and I will try to explain it better.

The thing is that the links are conected in different levels so if I'm not mistaken, there's level for left audio and right audio. .. I'm sure that they are stereo but don't know how to connect them. Thanks!

First part I understand but when you talk about 2 out of the 4 I'm lost. Lol

It's a stereo jack, but it has no internal switches. You need a stereo jack with internal switches. Most of them look like this: http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server500/8 ... 0.1280.jpg

That site doesn't have a lot of choices for connectors. Look at Mouser or DigiKey, you'll need something like this here for a 3.5mm, switched, stereo, panel mount, jack..
