Abstract
A miniature telephone jack with a molded housing especially adapted for use on printed circuit boards in which spring metal contacts grasp an inserted plug at the proper locations along its length with balanced, firm forces even though the contacts are all inserted from one side of the housing and have lugs extending therefrom through holes in the other side of the housing to make contact directly with a circuit board. The spring metal contacts include specially designed barbs which fit in slots molded on the sides of the housing to lock them in place.
