ABSTRACT:
Circuit board housing comprises spaced-apart panels with the circuit board being between the panels. A modular jack is mounted on one surface of the circuit board and the panels have laterally extending flanges which form a wall of the circuit board housing. One of the flanges is provided with an opening which is in alignment with the opening in the modular jack. The modular jack has a clearance notch extending into one of its sidewalls and the circuit board has a similar notch in registry with the clearance notch, these notches providing clearance for an inserted modular plug. The latching shoulder for the modular jack is provided on one of the flanges rather than in the jack housing. These features, the latching shoulder on the flange and the clearance notches, permit a reduction in the thickness of the circuit board housing as measured between the panels.
