ABSTRACT:
A PC card, for example, a modem card for a notebook computer, includes a card body having a recess accessible through an opening in an end surface of the card body. A jack for receiving an electrical connector is movable between a stored position within the recess inside the card body and a position extending out of the card body for connection to a plug. The jack may include a pair of jaws that spread apart when the jack extends outside of the card body and that approach each other when the jack is stored in the card body. The jack may include projections for engaging notches on a front surface of a standard plug and a pair of projections for grasping a wall separating indentations on a bottom surface of the standard plug.
