9v Power Jack - Small, No Third Pin, OUTTIE.

[Bravin Neff]

Since you’re adept at CAD and design, I would maybe suggest another route:

If you design an I/O daughter board for the 1590B builds with top-mount jacks, you could have a DC jack soldered to the board along with the I/O jacks. That way, you don’t even have to worry about mounting the DC jack. The DC jack would be accessible via a hole and secured with the nuts on the I/O jacks.

You’d have to sort out the spacing (and might have to mount the DC jack on the underside), but it could work for you.

Interesting idea. To be frank, I don't know anything about PCB design and manufacturing. I don't even know where one starts with that. I'm more of a traditional CAD/CAM mechanical type guy with a CNC machining background.
