Not the ones that mainly just annoy others ( not that I think or try to imply that was your goal). </p><p>Pin , socket, plug & jack are equally valid. <br />But they each have their own set of places where they get used. </p><p>And they don’t tend to cross over either. </p><p>Like pin is mainly used for those headphones style connectors. (As is jacks). </p><p>Socket is used for mounted connectors.</p><p>Plug is used generically for when something is exclusive used with a socket. </p><p>Jack is mainly used with(in) audio. </p><p>All this is to show you the diverse world you stumbled into regarding nicknames of equipment.</p>
