Is there a specific name for Aux to Aux input jacks?

Is there a specific name for this connection?

example

Most places (online) just call it a phone connector but does a technical term exist?

Oh wow, 3.5mm TRS seems to be exactly the term I've been looking for.

Thank you.

Do you mind telling me what exactly TRS means in this context?

Nevermind, just found out it means 3.5 mm three ring connector sleeve

thank you.

Well, technically tip ring sleeve.

There's also trrs which is tip ring ring sleeve used for things like headphones with mic.

Thanks, this seems to be it, or at least, there doesnt seem to be a more technical designation.

They often just call it Aux or Auxillary Cord in online stores.

Yeah, from what ive seen its either an aux to aux connector or a phone connector, both of which sound relatively "untechnical".
