   Whoops!  I thought I took that into account.

I've found that the unenclosed Switchcraft jacks, C-11 and
thereabouts, are higher quality in the sense that their contacts are
much thicker metal and they grip the plug more securely.  They are
also less expensive than the enclosed jacks.  Their mounting spacing
requirements are a little different.
