Abstract
A modular jack (100) includes a number of visual indicators (40), an insulative housing (10) having a pair of receiving spaces (11, 12), a number of retention sections (101) for engaging with the visual indicators and a terminal module (20). The retention section defines an opening, a rear wall (16), a bottom wall (14), a pair of side walls (17), a cantilevered arm (15) including a top surface (151) and a wedge-shaped bottom surface (152). The top surface has a second ramp (155) extending forwardly and downwardly. The bottom surface has a contacting portion (153) for resisting against the visual indicator and a first ramp (154) rearwardly upwardly extending from the contacting portion.
