Easy cable release question

I've just bought a K7 to replace my ISTDS.
Does the same cable release work with both - the one I have that works with the ISTDS terminates with a micro headphone style socket
It seems to start to go into the K7- but I'm somewhat cautious to push it home without being sure.
On the pentax website, it says that basically the whole range uses the same cable release, but it doesn't mention the K7 in the list....

Thanks for any help!

Nick

Should be the same and that jack just shorts on contact to the other to focus or take a shot.
You can even plug a headphone jack there that fits but it won't focus and just take shots 'coz the headphone is connected together unlike the remotes in which each wire has a switch/button to make them contact.
