The issue I have with the insulated jacks is the tension they apply to the plug tip is minimal. If my pedals aren't arranged just right on the pedal board, the patch cables will pop out. This is only an issue when I am swapping out pedals or rearranging pedals. It's a PITA regardless.Not that this is the problem, but early on I had issues with using those kind of audio jacks with the ppcb-style top jack drill template. Both times my issues were resolved when I switched to the black enclosed jacks.
That’s fair. I have that problem if I use some D’Addario patch cables I have. It’s not even a 0.1mm smaller shaft, but they just barely hang on to those insulated jacks. I might try bending the tongue in for the tip connection on my next build.The issue I have with the insulated jacks is the tension they apply to the plug tip is minimal.

Is this a general rule or just this circuit?Get a plastic DC Jack, it needs to be insulated from the enclosure
What is a good DC jack?Get some non shit tier DC jacks and that won't happen
Lumberg thinline, not the knockoffWhat is a good DC jack?
