Shielded 6-Position SDL Jack for Board-Edge Termination
It is a shielded variant, meaning the metal shell provides a ground path to bleed EMI before it reaches the signal contacts — a common requirement in telecom and networking equipment where the jack sits at the board edge near a chassis opening.
The shielded shell's ground legs also solder into plated through-holes, creating a low-impedance path to the board's ground plane.
For a BOM line requiring a shielded 6-position modular jack, this is the TE Connectivity order code to specify.
