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 and PTT
are both RCA jacks. However, in the documentation, they are referred to as
"cinch connectors". When cataloging the parts prior to building, I 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.
The curious can find a short two minute video of my Nanokeyer's first
testing here: https://youtu.be/_LLVS_Pk8zE
The RCA jacks, referred to as "cinch connectors" in the documentation, are
along the leading edge of the device, on the right side. Technically,
though, that's the back edge. It's just in the foreground because the cable
on my Bencher is short.
