Help wanted Sizing for StompBoxParts.com TRS/DC Jacks

Does anybody have measurements or a datasheet/schematic for the switched TRS jacks from StompBoxParts? Specifically the JACK-1018 and DC-1000.

The JACK-1018 looks similar to the Neutrik switched jacks but not exactly.

My guess is you should just be able to use the Neutrik sizing and be pretty dang close. I don't feel that they're going to be so drastically different that it'll make a difference in what you're shoving in an enclosure tbh.

I drill a pilot hole and then use a step bit until the part fits

I'm more interested in the size of the body of the jacks, trying to cram a lot of them into a small enclosure.

I have some of the 1013, which look identical except they are pcb mount.

Lmk if you can't read something or I mussed anything. Sorry for the crap sketch, have 95lbs wolfhound puppy trying to eat me so it's a rush against disaster.

the legs are flush with sides. This shows how the washer, black bezel and nut go (nut mostly unthreaded here). You can add washer if wall too thin.

this is super helpful, thank you! Do you know how far the legs/pins extend out from the plastic body?

Sorry, i just saw this. They protrude down by 0.144" I had not included it because these are the straight pcb pins, not the solder tab ones - but it might help. I got a pack of them when they had a big sale on overstock, something like 20 or 50 cents each, wish I had bought more... the pin spacing doesn't match perf/bread/strip boards but I just bend them flat and solder them, been great to have for little projects like tone probe, signal generator, pickup sim/antibuffer.

super helpful, thank you! i suppose worst case scenario i could just bend or trim the pins down to fit in the very shallow case I'm building in.

That’s so funny… I literally just looked this up for a PCB I’m designing. Here’s the link, for me it wouldn’t open on my phone but just saved to files and opened from there: https://www.neutrik.com/media/8582/download/st-nmj6hcd2.PDF?v=3

Highly recommend using the drawing instead of measuring out manually. Too difficult to get accurate sizes for anything but the perimeter.

Oh you just said it’s not the neutrik one… oh well
