Abstract
A modular telephone jack has two parts, top and bottom, which assemble together by relative vertical movement. Flexible members extending down from the main body of the top part pass down over the sides of the bottom part. Inwardly projecting ribs on the flexible members snap over outwardly projecting ribs on the sides of the bottom part. A jack with the minimal vertical profile is provided and enclosing shrouds and sonic welding of joints are avoided.
