I use the NV jacks myself, which are 13mm high. I chose them because I 
needed the switch on the GND pin and because I really like their feel. 
But it was a major hassle to find other matching parts, especially when 
it comes to buttons and switches.
Most tactile with caps I like are designed for 10mm panel space, 
sometimes even less. I spent weeks to find a supplier for slide switches 
that are tall enough to fit through the panel.

For 24mm the only option I could think of would be either panel mounted 
components with wires(yuck!)
Or can you point out a single vertical PCB mounted jack that is 24mm 
high? A threaded pot with a threading long enough?
I mean sure it is possible with a bit of fiddling, but it is far from 
elegant.

Best,
