The RJ-11 is too large at .5x.5.x75. I would have suggested the little mini-DIN connector that PS2 mice & keyboards use but is about the same size as your RJ-11. However, you might consider the use of a mini-USB connector (available with either 4 or 5 pins). The advantage here is that the cable is designed for flexibility and comes already moulded onto the plug. You can also get 4 conductor 3.5mm mini phone plugs but I find those are generally not reliable in fixed applications where the connector is not moved for long periods. dwayne -- Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax Celebrating 20 years of Engineering Innovation (1984 - 2004) .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .- `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' Do NOT send unsolicited commercial email to this email address.
