Cinch-Jones always referred to square black connectors with large "blade" pins.
They were used a lot with early ham amplifiers and until recently in
Ham-series rotator controllers; now they come with 9-pin round
connectors populated with 8-pins which one crimps onto rotator wire
and inserts
Never were in UK to my knowledge, we always called them phono plugs and
sockets.
Jones connectors were always the black cased multi pin connectors with
rectangular blades, usually some at right angles to others. Think FT101
power connector.
I think Cinch was a manufacturer of Jones
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
I'm an old ham (60+ years as a ham):
Originally called RCA and Phono connectors (I still refer to them as
that). Back of my K3 has a couple.
My brand-new, cutting edge, made-for-ham radio, super, A/D convertor*
has four of them to take two IQ baseband inputs from two SDR's to
convert to
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
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
"Those are now known as “Jones” connectors. No idea why the change, but they
are becoming very hard to get with demand dropping."
Still in production and available in a variety of configurations from multiple
distributors at quite reasonable prices.
Browse for "Cinch Jones".

Easy for us to work with, but they take up a lot of rear-panel space on
equipment.

Hmmm ... not quite true. Well, actually not even close. For those who
did not experience the middle of the 20th century and in the interest of
historical accuracy:
Cinch-Jones connectors were popular back then because they came in a
variety of conductor numbers and were easy to assemble and

Right -- a
Cinch connectors like RCA plugs??? Not even similar.
By the way, all those plugs and connectors out there are lacking one
hugely great asset: An RC plug can be tightened if it becomes loose -
just a little squeeze is all it takes. And, I would sure rather have
several RCA jacks than a DIN

They’re not long gone, nowadays they call them Cinch connectors. Not only Hams
use them but most AVR and Stereo manufacturers. Take a look at a High End
HI-FI or AVR rear side.
