Can't help ya on the wiring. But aint that socket a tad to big? I used one from an old Nokia phone and soldered the wire from the charging cable to a mic. It seems allot more compact then your socket.

Could be mistaken tho, just trying to help.

The socket is only 10mm x 15mm.
It fits in the camera body fine.
I went with a switched socket so the normal mic will work when external mic is unpluged.
Will take it back to where I bought it tommorrow and sort it out.
Cheers
