Confused about contacts on audio jacks.

On another topic I was told that:

Which concerns this image.



I therefore bought, to get around this issue, "3.5mm mono line socket":

However, now that I've unscrewed it, I see that this also has the 'dual' contacts.

Therefore my question is that I do not know the function of each contact, or whether because I bought a "mono" jack the dual short contacts have the same function?
