The housing is polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and the shell includes an EMI finger for grounding the cable shield. A board guide on the part aids alignment during PCB assembly, reducing the risk of solder-joint stress when the plug is inserted. This jack is intended for internal equipment wiring where a shielded Ethernet port is needed on a PCB — think industrial controllers, network switches, or test equipment that must reject electrical noise from the surrounding environment. ## What the Shielding and Gold Plating Mean for Your Application The EMI finger on the shell provides a low-impedance path from the cable shield to the board ground. The 50.0µin gold on the contacts is a heavy plating grade. ## How It Compares to Similar Hirose RJ45 Jacks The TM24RSG-5A-88 sits alongside the TM11R-5M2-88(70) and TM21R-5C-88-LP(50) in Hirose's shielded right-angle RJ45 lineup. All three are 8P8C, through-hole, gold-plated jacks with EMI fingers. The TM11R-5M2-88(70) carries a Cat5 rating and a slightly thicker gold plating of 51.2µin (1.30µm) — a marginal difference that doesn't change the mating-cycle or corrosion performance in practice. The TM21R-5C-88-LP(50) is rated Cat5e, adds a board lock and a light pipe feature, and uses a copper alloy contact material instead of phosphor bronze. If your application requires Cat5e certification or an integrated LED light pipe, the TM21R variant is the better fit. For a standard Cat5e-compatible jack without those extras, the TM24RSG-5A-88 is the direct choice — the board guide gives it a slight assembly advantage over the TM11R, which lacks that feature.","metaTitle":"Hirose TM24RSG-5A-88 RJ45 Jack, 8P8C, R/A, Shielded","metaDescription":"Hirose TM24RSG-5A-88 shielded RJ45 jack, 8P8C, right-angle, through-hole, gold 50.0µin contacts.
