 Neutrik sure does still make them, they are military style TB
connectors. I have an analog studio filled with patch bays that use
these.

 They are sorta like TT connectors, but they are bigger.

 Neutrik's part number is NP3TB-B

 Neutrik's connector dimensions are fine. I have never seen a tolerance
issue with their stuff. SOMETIMES... with the older NP3C and NP2C
connectors, that BARREL was too big to allow many connectors to be
plugged in next to one another, but with the latest generation, they
have made the barrels smaller.
