Wire colour to TRS connector, Apple Lightning to 3.5" adapter
The Lightning to 3.5” adapter is a small digital to analogue converterconnected to a "standard headphone" (not for long) tip-ring-sleeve socket. If you cut the socket off (carefully, as the wires are thin and coated in plastic), you can repurpose it.
Here is the map between wire colour and destination on a 3.5” tip-ring-sleeve connector:
Wire colour | TRS destination | Purpose |
---|---|---|
Red | Tip | Left |
Green+Gold | Tip | Mic |
Blue | Sleeve | Ground |
Green | Ring | Right |
Red+Green | Sleeve | Mic ground |
If you are going to attach solder to the wires, it's helpful to melt the plastic off them first (with a lighter, for example).
