I have a male stereo jack that I took apart from my old dead ear buds and I decided that I want to build a new set of earbuds with the stereo jack. Problem is I don't know what parts are the left, right, and ground for this stereo jack since it is a different design compared to others I found online. I am particularly new to this so any help would be appreciated.

This is the stereo jack

    \$\begingroup\$ "...for this stereo jack since it is a different design compared to others I found online." This looks very similar to any other male stereo jack... can you explain how it's different? There's no other way we can help you unless you know something about this part. Like, where did you get this part? Who's the manufacturer? \$\endgroup\$

For Jack Plugs, aka TRS connectors (Tip, Ring, Sleeve), the standard can be remembered by the Three R's

Red Right Ring

The RIGHT channel is on the RING of a TRS connector, on the RED wire in a lead, and on the RED one of a pair of mono sockets.

The picture is a 3.5mm or 2.5mm stereo connector.
