Hi - I really like everything to be board mount. Hell - I really like everything to be surface mount. But looking around at other people's work here, it seems pretty much everybody is just using panel mount headphone jacks. Are there not any good board mount jacks out there? Also, are there any good board mount switched headphone jacks? Thanks!

Check out the following PDF for various Kobiconn 3.5mm jacks from Mouser (PC mount, surface mount, and panel mount):

There are some CUI jacks that I just got from digikey that are panel mount but can snap into a board on 0.100 spacing (used these on some CMoy/A47s on the ratshack board). Any they are available switched (much like the Switchcraft jacks from mouser). Digikey CP-3545-ND, seem quite tight, we'll see how they hold up.

I think the Switchcraft jack (the clear-top one) could also be board mounted and is switched.
