XJACK connectors

"XJACK" connector on a modem PC Card (PCMCIA card). It's a little piece that pops out of the side of the card when you press in on it, like a nintendo DS cartridge or an SD card. But then there's an RJ connector shaped hole in the part that sticks out, with a wire bar that pushes down to prevent an RJ connector from going all the way through it (you can see through the back of it). There's contacts of spring type metal that are just exposed and totally lose that an RJ connector should make contact with when pushed in from above. This one is for a 33.6 modem.
