Circuit board mounted modular phone jack

An electrical connector assembly for interconnecting a modular phone plug with a printed circuit board, comprising:

• a one-piece dielectric housing having a forward end and a rearward end, a plug-receiving socket formed in the forward mating end and adapted to receive a modular phone plug, and the rearward end being configured so that an edge of a printed circuit board can be fully inserted with the printed circuit board at a first angular orientation relative to the housing and then rotated to a second angular orientation;
• a plurality of terminals mounted in the housing, each terminal including a contact portion at one end, a tail portion at an opposite end and an intermediate portion therebetween, the intermediate portion being anchored in the housing, the contact portion extending diagonally rearwardly into the socket for engaging a contact of the modular phone plug when inserted into the socket, and the tail portion extending diagonally across a rear face of the forward end of the housing for engaging a contact pad on (the printed circuit board with minimal contact force in said first angular orientation of the board and with considerable contact force in said second angular orientation of the board;
• first latch means integral with the housing and operatively associated between the housing and the printed circuit board for securing the board against rotation from said second angular orientation;
• and
• second latch means integral with the housing and operatively associated between the housing and the printed circuit board for securing the board against pulling away from the housing when in said second angular orientation.
