Abstract:
    A modular jack is mountable in a panel and to a circuit board. The modular jack includes an insulating housing having a front mating end and a rear terminating end. The front end has a receptacle for receiving a mating jack plug. The rear end has a slot for receiving an edge of the printed circuit board. A plurality of conductive terminals are mounted in the housing and have contact portions projecting into the receptacle for engaging contacts on the mating jack plug. The terminals have tail portions exposed at the slot for engaging circuit traces on the printed circuit board. Interengaging retaining components are provided between the housing and the panel to hold the modular jack in an opening in the panel.
