Abstract
The present invention is designed to have half the thickness of physical/electrical media connectors such as the RJ-11 and the RJ-45 jacks. One embodiment of the present invention is an RJ-11 or an RJ-45 jack with a reduced thickness. The thickness of the present invention permits more than one media jack to be mounted in a Type I or a Type II PCMCIA card. The slim jack can be mounted either to the PCB or to the housing of the PCMCIA cards.
