Neat.  Thanks.

I think that's referring to a different dimension.

I'm interesting in the thickness of the connector.  If you measure a typical 
connector, it's
  0.65 thick
  1.3 wide, and 
  2.1 long

"long:" might be ambiguous.  In the case I just measured it includes the end 
of the shell to the end of the plastic knobs that connect to the screws that 
hold the connector onto the PC.

My problem is the 0.65 vs 0.625 spacing of the connectors on the board.

I think your "low profile" refers to what I'm calling "long".  The idea is 
that the connector will fit in a wiring box, or something like that.  That 
web page doesn't include a useful drawing.  The only dimension is "1.25 in 
total depth".  I think their "depth" is my "long".
