TM-DS Series Modular Jack — 4p4c Right-Angle Through-Hole
The Hirose TM5RF1-44(50) is a 4p4c (RJ9, RJ10, RJ22) modular jack from the TM-DS series, terminated in a right-angle through-hole solder configuration. It carries gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts in a single-row, single-port layout, with a polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing. Board locks and panel stops provide mechanical retention against vibration and ensure consistent alignment when mounted to a panel or PCB edge. The 4p4c interface is the standard for handset cords and some telecom/data peripherals — the same footprint as a 4-position RJ22 plug.
Sourcing is through independent distribution channels.
This limits the TM5RF1-44(50) to indoor, conditioned environments — not suited for automotive, outdoor, or high-heat industrial applications without thermal qualification. The unshielded construction and lack of LED indicators keep the part simple for basic signal interconnect where EMI filtering or visual status is not required.
