ABSTRACT:
A modular jack comprises an insulative housing, a terminal assembly including an insulative terminal holder and a number of terminals retained in the holder and a shielding assembly including a first shield and a second shield. The housing is substantially rectangular and defines an inner space for accommodating the terminals and a mating plug therein. The first shield and the second shield are assembled together to enclose the housing. A pair of legs outwardly and downwardly extends from lower side edges of the first shield. A circuit board defines a rectangular cutout for snugly accommodating the modular jack. The legs are adapted to secure the modular jack to the circuit board. A pair of support arms rearwardly extends from the rear wall of the housing for resting on a rear edge of the cutout of the circuit board thereby supporting the modular jack thereon.
