A stereo trs short for tip ring sleeve 1 4 inch plug looks like an analog stereo headphone plug.
Trs cable vs 1 4.
The pointed metal bit at the end is logically enough the tip and the long metal shaft is the sleeve.
This is because the ends of each connector have an outside diameter of roughly 1 4 or 6 35 mm.
Ts trs and trrs plugs come in a few sizes measured by their diameter.
