DIN Phono Cable

I'm planning to get one of the new Project tonearms, and they only accept 5-pin DIN connector. Is there a specific DIN connector I need to look for or are they all the same?

If you have any enough clearance then a straight DIN or JIS connector would suffice.

My Mission and Jelco Tonearms require a longer length of the smaller diameter barrel because the connector is recessed further within the tonearm post I had Pine Tree Cables make me a phono cable with a long neck connector.
