Modular Jack for Wired Telecom Ports
The Molex 0950097661 is a 6-position, 6-contact (6P6C) modular jack from the 95009 series, wired for RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 applications. It is the receptacle side of a standard telephone-style interconnect — the jack that mounts on the PCB and accepts the matching 6-position plug terminated to round cable. Board lock features (two metal tabs that solder into plated through-holes) anchor the jack against the insertion and withdrawal forces of the plug. Panel stops — small shoulders on the housing — set the depth when the jack is inserted through a panel cutout, preventing the connector from being pushed through the opening during assembly.
Through-hole solder termination with right-angle leads: the eight pins (six signal, two board-lock anchors) insert into a single row of plated holes. The 6P6C contact arrangement follows the standard pattern — centre pair for line 1, outer pairs for additional lines. The unshielded variant (no metal shell) keeps the footprint compact and avoids grounding the jack to chassis, which is acceptable when the cable run is entirely inside a metal enclosure or the application does not require EMI containment. The board lock tabs are wider than the signal pins and require their own through-holes — check the product drawing for the exact hole pattern. Panel stops set the jack depth relative to the panel face; the housing front sits flush with or slightly proud of the panel, depending on the cutout thickness.
