The Pop-Port interface (originally codenamed "Tomahawk")[citation needed] was a proprietary plug-in port for accessories and data synchronisation, available with many Nokia mobile phones. The port consists of one metal pin on either end, and a plastic tab containing thirteen contacts. Pop-Port-like interfaces first appeared in Nokia phones since circa 1996, but the Pop-Port was standardised as a single interface in 2002.[1]
By early 2007 the Pop-Port was fully replaced by the industry standard USB (miniUSB, and later by microUSB) sockets for data services and a 4-part 2.5mm or 3.5mm "standard" TRRS socket for audio. Nokia had been equipping certain devices with one of these connectors as alternatives from about 2004.[citation needed]
Nokia filed "Pop-Port" as a trademark in the United States on September 3, 2002.[2]
