Abstract
A connector system with a printed wiring board to which a board mounted jack module is attached, and a back plane. The printed wiring board is attached almost perpendicularly to the back plane. Each jack attached to the wiring board has a rotatable end and when engaged with a corresponding plug, a fulcrum is created. The plug when rotated around the fulcrum point achieves a connection, and the ease of the snap-in and the hinging mechanism enable simple and reliable connections to be made. Also included on the jack is a label surface that is on the outward facing surface with all the cord connections occurring behind the label surface.
