I've been looking through the Keystone offerings and found a plug that=20 may work size-wise (0.19" OD, so I can stack 3 side-by-side easily). =20 But not sure of friction... keystone says there is some "springiness" in=20 there, but they don't test for repeated cycles, so not sure how long it=20 will last. I will order some to experiment with, but that will have to=20 wait a few weeks until I return. Loop test points won't work as I need these to protrude out the side of=20 the housing, so they'll have to mount to the edge of my PCB. The user=20 should just be able to plug them in from outside the enclosure.
