Cinch is a connector company that makes hundreds of types. I've never
come across the RCA phono referred to as a Cinch. The shorthand
nomenclature, certainly here in the UK, is always Phono.

Standard nomenclature in France.

There seems a lack of any info on Cinch-Jones in Wikipedia
Have you tried the Cinch catalog?

....or are you looking for the history and evolution?
They used to call RCA plugs phono years ago, when phonos were the rage.
Since phonos started out mono, it only had 1 conductor.
I just worked on a Apple power cord. it looks like a 3 conductor RCA
somewhat.

Interesting that the Cinch company has no RCA/phono product line. g
Wonder if many of the folks out there using "phono" connctors
even know what a phono[graph] is. G
Rhetorical question:
Why the heck is the female connector called a jack?
Shouldn't it be a Jill?
