The Cat5 rating means this jack is specified for 100 MHz bandwidth, supporting 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) over four twisted pairs. The shielded construction helps maintain the 100 Ohm differential impedance through the connector — critical for return loss and crosstalk margins at 100 MHz. For Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, the Cat5 rating does not directly specify current capacity, but the press-fit termination and gold contacts are typical for PoE-capable designs; confirm the specific PoE class against the system's current draw per pair. ## Press-Fit Termination — Solderless Assembly The press-fit termination uses compliant pins that cold-weld into the plated through-hole during insertion. This eliminates the solder joint, which means no thermal shock to the housing, no flux residue, and easier rework — a press-fit pin can be pressed out and replaced without desoldering. The trade-off is that the PCB hole diameter and plating thickness must match the press-fit tail geometry; the board guide helps keep the jack square to the board during the press operation.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 6116202-1 Modular Jack, 8p8c RJ45, Shielded","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 6116202-1 modular jack, 8p8c RJ45, vertical shielded, press-fit termination, Cat5 rated, gold 50µ\" contacts, -40°C to 85°C, RoHS.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Modular / RJ Connectors","Modular Jacks (RJ)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Series":"-","Package":"Tube","Ratings":"Cat5","Features":"Board Guide","LED Color":"Does Not Contain LED","Shielding":"Shielded","Orientation":"Vertical","Termination":"Press-Fit","Mounting Type":"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":"6116202","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 85°C","Contact Finish Thickness":"50.0µin (1.27µm)","Number of Positions/Contacts":"8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$5.3600","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$5.36000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$4.69400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$4.57080","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$4.47260","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$4.20230","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$4.17776","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$3.90742","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$3.48965","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$3.24390","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/b1c11437995ec7c75c7ce7ac20703ff6.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What are the specifications of 6116202-1?","answer":"It is a vertical shielded modular jack with 8p8c (RJ45) contacts, press-fit termination, Cat5 rated, gold 50.0 µ\" plating on phosphor bronze contacts, operating from -40°C to 85°C.
