Just a quick information post. Thonk recently listed their PJ302M right angled jacks as not recommended for new designs, and listed the 729JH red jacks as their new standard right angle Jack but warned about a slightly different footprint.
I picked some up so I could compare them. The pin locations are slightly different by a tiny amount but the good news is they do seem to still be compatible with the old PJ302M footprint and still come up flush to a front panel in that footprint.
So if you are designing PCBs for these parts worth checking your hole sizes and spacings.
Cadets on red pcbs with red jacks will look very smart!
