This might be a silly question, but does the polarity matter? • Wedding Photographer - Sydney and Wollongong

Seeing how the tip of the jack is positive, is that also the case with a PC plug - i.e. will the centre pin be positive, and the outside sleeve negative? The tip of the miniphone plug (not jack) is positive (a jack is a female connector). And you have the polarity on the male PC connector correct.

My wording was wrong, but that's what I meant. Thanks for your help, Lon! Well a the male mule is a "Jack" and the female mule the "Jenny" so it does seem counter intuitive that the "jack" is the female connector.
