The description says through-hole but that is incorrect and they sent me the surface mount type. No big deal as I just mounted it on the holes. It was actually pretty easy to solder. I can definitely tell the quality is way better than the old one.

I would encourage anyone to get this part number for either type of mounting

Mine sticks up a little farther than before but it doesn’t look bad and I like it better since it is easier to grab.
