Hello! Very well described, except that the RJ25 describes the fifty pair connector that is called the AMP connector because they made them for the phone company, and the one I described before fits what Donald is looking for.
I suggest Donald that you ask Google to show you the pages of the Leviton handbooks on wiring standards for telecommunications.

Organ IV wrote: I've seen these before but not sure of the name for the connector. It has telephone type connector but its only three wires. Does anyone know the technical term for this type of connector?? I want to use this to connect the temperature probe to the board this way I can put a long enough lead on the probe and be able to disconnect when needed. There is no such thing as a three wire connector in standard modular telco jacks. Telco always uses pairs so you have to get a four wire or six wire connector at least. RJ14 or RJ25. The RJ45 8wire is a physically wider connector. The 4 or 6 wire connectors are the same width and are some times coded for the number of positions & connectors. RJ11 is by defination only 2 conductors and would not work here. And this may vary depending on the country you are in.
