The Molex 0446610011 is a Cat5e-rated RJ45 jack from the 44661 series, built for a single port of 8p8c (8 position, 8 contact) Ethernet. The shielded shell with EMI finger provides a low-impedance ground path from the connector body to the panel or chassis ground plane, which keeps radiated emissions within Class B limits for commercial equipment.
Shielding and Board Retention
Yes, this jack is shielded — the EMI finger on the shell makes positive contact with the panel cutout or chassis ground, so you get a consistent ground reference across the connector face. Through-hole solder tails handle the shear and pull forces better than an SMT-only design.
The contacts have 50.0 µ" (1.27 µm) gold over phosphor bronze.
