ABSTRACT:
A modular jack (100) is adapted for mounting on a printed circuit board (6) and has a housing (1) and a plurality of terminals (5) received in the housing. The housing includes a main body (4), an insert module (2), and a presser (3). The main body defines a cavity (40), a pair of grooves (41), and a pair of slots (42). The main body includes a pair of side walls (43). A pair of engaging ribs (44) outwardly project from each side wall and parallel to each other, thereby forming a mounting channel (46) for engaging the printed circuit board between the engaging ribs. As a result, the modular jack is mounted on the printed circuit board. The insert module has a pair of lead sections (21) slidably received in the grooves and a pair of guide sections (20). The presser has a pair of channels (30) slidably receiving the guide sections of the insert module and a pair of latches (33) reliably engaging with the slots of the main body. The presser further has a pair of blocks (31) abutting against bottom edges of the guide sections.
