[MRCA] J22/ARC-5 throat mic push to talk switch question

[Mike Morrow]

The throttle switch is part of the top of the handle on the aircraft throttle lever, on the port side of the cockpit.  It is part of the aircraft.  There is likely some sort of NAF number associated with the throttle switch, but no JAN nomenclature.  The 3-pin A.R.C. 9488 plug for the J-22/ARC-5 (or J-16) should have two wires as part of aircraft wiring going to the permanently-installed throttle switch.  I don't know if there is typically a connector between the throttle switch and its aircraft wiring.  The throttle switch and wiring are separate from the mask mic and wiring until they get to the J-22 or J-16.
 
I find NO references to USN use of any "throat mic", which is very different from the mask mic that's mentioned in AN/ARC-5 instruction books.

There is a 3 lead male receptacle on the J-22/ARC-5 jack box, below the hard wired cord that plugs into the throat/mask microphone.  Wiring diagrams say that this receptacle connect to a throat microphone push to talk switch.  Does anybody know the nomenclature of the switch? 
Thanks
