Check it out.
Two ground tabs.
Sorry, not the best photo but, Dammit Jim, I found this in a batch of Neutrik stereo jacks from Mouser. I use them in 1590A builds so you may notice I have snipped off the ends of the connections that extend beyond the black, plastic body and in doing this I noticed that there are two ground tabs in this one.  I bought a batch of 30 and this is the only one. Something to think about when building stuff.  It is good practice to check every cap, resistor and trannie before you use them but I take for granted things like new pots, switches and jacks for sure. Had I not seen this it would have given me fits.
Cheers,
Chris
