English term or phrase: TAPE IN/TAPE OUT JACKS
TAPE IN/TAPE OUT JACKS: Use these jacks to connect
to the record and playback jacks of a cassette tape deck.
Because the tape in jacks are fed directly into the left
and right master faders, use the tape deck’s output level
control or an in-line attenuator to adjust the level of the
playback signal.

Explanation:
In electronics, a jack is a socket. In some cases it is arbitrary which of a pair of mating connectors is the plug, and which the socket (see plug). The term jack occurs in several related terms:

* In the telephone jack of old-style manual telephone exchanges, which is the socket fitting the original 1/4" jack plug. Also known as a phone jack.

* The RJ in RJ11, RJ45 and similar, stands for registered jack. See RJ-XX.

* In the name RCA jack, also known as a phono jack or 1/4" phono jack.

When used with a size, the term jack refers to the socket that matches the corresponding size of jack plug. For example:

* 6.5mm jack
* 1/4" jack
* 3.5mm miniature jack
* 2.5mm subminiature jack

A headphone jack or earphone jack is normally one of the three standard sizes of jack, but the term could refer to any socket used for this purpose.

agree  Gustavo Villar: Prefiero usar "conector" en vez de "contacto", a menos que el inglés diga "contacts", especialmente si no se si el jack es macho o hembra.
