The dual green-green LEDs give link and activity indication right on the face of the jack, so you can skip a separate LED assembly on the front panel. Cat5e certification means this jack passes the insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk limits for 100 MHz channels — enough for 1000BASE-T and most IP camera or building-automation links. Mounting options include board edge, panel mount, and through hole, with the tab direction user-selectable — you can orient the latch up or down to match the panel cutout. The thermoplastic housing carries the standard 1-row, 1-port footprint. ## Press-Fit Assembly — No Solder, No Wave Press-fit termination eliminates the solder joint at the board — the compliant pin cold-forms into the plated through-hole, creating a gas-tight connection. That means no wave-solder step, no flux residue, and easier rework if a jack gets damaged after assembly. The trade-off is the board hole size and plating must match the press-fit pin geometry; verify the recommended hole diameter in the product drawing before layout. For a metal-front-panel design, this is the difference between passing and failing radiated emissions at 100 MHz.","metaTitle":"TE 1888250-4 Cat5e RJ45 Jack, 8P8C R/A Press-Fit","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 1888250-4 modular jack, 8P8C (RJ45), Cat5e rated, right-angle press-fit termination, shielded with EMI finger, dual green LEDs, 50µ\" gold","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Modular / RJ Connectors","Modular Jacks (RJ)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Series":"-","Package":"Tray","Ratings":"Cat5e","Features":"-","LED Color":"Green - Green","Shielding":"Shielded, EMI Finger","Orientation":"90° Angle (Right)","Termination":"Press-Fit","Mounting Type":"Board Edge; Panel Mount; Through Hole","Tab Direction":"User Selectable","Connector Type":"Jack","Contact Finish":"Gold","Number of Rows":"1","Product Status":"Active","Number of Ports":"1","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Housing Material":"Thermoplastic","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"1888250","Operating Temperature":"-","Contact Finish Thickness":"50.0µin (1.27µm)","Number of Positions/Contacts":"8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$7.1400","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$7.14000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$6.22000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$6.05680","currency":"USD"},{"qty":80,"price":"$5.89300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":240,"price":"$5.53283","currency":"USD"},{"qty":440,"price":"$5.50009","currency":"USD"},{"qty":960,"price":"$5.17271","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/33e3fbe6a0dce40163106a681d22df6d.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the 1888250-4?","answer":"Submit a request for current pricing and availability — confirmed at quote time."},{"question":"Is the 1888250-4 RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, the 1888250-4 is ROHS3 Compliant."},{"question":"Does the 1888250-4 have LEDs?","answer":"Yes, it has two green LEDs (Green - Green) for link and activity indication."},{"question":"What is the termination style of the 1888250-4?","answer":"It uses press-fit termination — the compliant pins are pressed into plated through-holes, no soldering required."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1888250-4","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1888250-4 when reusing this data.
