Some jack sockets are "switched" or "normalled". Some jack sockets
are "stereo" or "TRS". Those are orthogonal properties. A socket
can be neither, either or both.

If it looks like this on the schematic

______ Tip
# \ /
# _\/_______ Tip normal

--- Sleeve

then it's a switched TS (mono) socket. It's supposed to be used
with a regular TS (mono) jack. You can plug a TRS (stereo) jack in
it but it doesn't make much sense to do so since the socket
doesn't have anything to make contact with the ring.

A switched TRS (stereo) socket would look like this :

_____ Tip
# \ /
# _\/______ Tip normal
#
# _____________ Ring normal
# /\
# / \_________ Ring
