Abstract
There is provided an electrical connector jack which is adapted to readily be used with panels having various thicknesses. The jack has a pair of flexible stops in the form of ears extending therefrom which abut against one side of the panel. The flexibility of the ears permits the jack to move over a range of distance after having been inserted into an opening in the panel. The jack further includes additional stops in the form of beams which contact the other side of the panel to further secure the jack in the opening in the panel. The beams are also flexible thereby permitting the jack to snap into the panel. A cover is also provided to conceal the jack and to lock the jack into the opening in the panel.
