From Wikipedia:
"An *RCA connector*, sometimes called a *phono connector* or (in other
languages) *Cinch connector*, is a type of electrical connector commonly
used to carry audio and video signals."

It was news to me that an RCA phono connector is also known as a "Cinch
connector". I think you're right that it must be a name used in Europe.

The Nanokeyer is the creation of Oscar, DJ0MY. It's possible that the
RCA Phono connector is called a "Cinch" connector in EU or DL, but in
the US [and I believe Canada], it is quite distinct from the
"Cinch-Jones" connectors, which I find are still available from the
several sources I checked.

I just built a Nanokeyer last night, and the connections for keyer

are both RCA jacks. However, in the documentation, they are referred

had to
look in the construction pictures to verify what kind of connector was a
"cinch" connector. I was rather surprised to see that RCA connectors
have a
different name now, but RCA hasn't been a thing for a long time now so I
guess it was inevitable, seeing as it is listed as having gone
defunct in
1986.
