ABSTRACT:
A modular jack (100) includes a housing defining a receiving space (10) and an anti-mismating member (4) assembled to the housing. The anti-mismating member includes a connecting wall (41), at least one retention means (43, 44, 45) extending from the connecting wall and at least a pair of prongs (42) exposed in the receiving space. Each prongs has a main body (421) with an inner stopping portion (422) for blocking an undersized plug (300) and an outer guiding portion (423) for being urged to deflect the main body by a full sized plug (200). The retention means snaps the housing to create a retention force for securing the anti-mismating member in position when the undersized plug is blocked by the stopping portions.
