Product details

The Molex 0442480085 is a 2-port stacked modular jack from the 44248 series, wired 8p8c for standard RJ45 Ethernet.

Shielding and Grounding — Why the EMI Finger Matters

This jack is shielded and carries an EMI finger — a spring contact that presses against the panel cutout or chassis ground when the connector is mounted. That finger creates a low-impedance bond between the jack's metal shell and the enclosure, bleeding common-mode noise from the cable shield before it reaches the PCB ground plane. For an Ethernet port in an electrically noisy cabinet or near a motor drive, that ground path is what keeps the link up and the radiated emissions within Class A limits.

Board Lock — Why It Is There

The board lock is a pair of barbed posts that snap into plated-through holes on the PCB. During wave solder the lock holds the jack square to the board.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Molex 0442480085 RoHS compliant?

Yes. The 0442480085 is listed as ROHS3 Compliant, meeting the current EU restriction on hazardous substances.

Does the 0442480085 include an LED?

No. The spec record states the LED Color as 'Does Not Contain LED' — this jack is a plain shielded Ethernet port with no link/activity indicator built in.
