ABSTRACT:
A thin electronic card (10) can securely receive and connect to contacts of an RJ or telephone type plug (40). The card has a vertical hole (52) through which the RJ plug can be inserted. The front wall (84) of the hole has downwardly-facing card shoulders (80,82) for abutting the upwardly-facing shoulders (70,72) of the RJ plug latch (62), and the front wall has a rib (96) with an upwardly-facing shoulder(100) that lies below and laterally between the other card shoulders to engage a largely downwardly-facing shoulder (92) on the latch. The hole is formed in an adaptor (50) that can slide forward (F) and rearward (R). The adaptor includes a frame (110) that forms the front wall of the hole and the shoulders thereat, and a separate contact block (112). The contact block slides a shorter distance than the frame when both of them are slid to the fully stowed position within the card frame (32). Contacts (116) on the contact block have resilient front ends that are slideably engaged with traces on the circuit board.
