[sdiy] Socket schematic symbol question

[Tom Wiltshire]

All the black plastic 4-pin PCB-mounting mono jack sockets I've got have a simple 'break' connection on both the signal and ground. E.g. not like either of those two.

The panel mounting open-frame jacks I've got have only two conections and no break or make connections at all. E.g. not like either of those two.

The enclosed mono jacks (switchcraft 112s and such like) seem to be available in many variations. I've got a couple of different ones kicking around. E.g. only possibly like either of those two!

Both of those diagrams show two connections as well as the ground, so I'd say they're stereo jacks - in which case the options are even wider. One has a break connection on the signal, the other on the ring.

Is any of that what you were after?!
