Abstract
An RJ-11 jack, or plug, is described that is self-locking and has a self-ejecting feature. In particular, an RJ-11 jack is constructed with a tang on the rear lower portion of the RJ-11 jack in such a way that the tang is coupled to a locking tab of the RJ-11 jack. When inserted into an RJ-11 receptacle, or housing, the tang is compressed as a result of contact with an inside wall of the RJ-11 receptacle. The locking tab of the RJ-11 jack locks the RJ-11 jack into position with the tang compressed. The RJ-11 jack includes a tool access opening such that a tool, like a small screwdriver, can be inserted to press on a release tab, which is connected to the locking tab. When pressed, the applied force pushes up on the release tab, thereby moving up the locking tab and releasing the RJ-11 jack. The resultant decompression of the tang causes the RJ-11 jack to eject.
