TS refers to the 2-terminal 'Tip and Sleeve' format of various types of jack plug, typically used unbalanced mono audio connections or for CV and gate patching on monular synthesizers. A 3-terminal alternative is also available, referred to as the TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) version. The term is applicable to A-type, and mini-jack connectors.
