This is the board-mounted side of the connection — it mates with a standard RJ45 plug terminated to a twisted-pair cable. The jack is shielded, which means the metal shell ties to the board ground plane to contain radiated EMI from the Ethernet signal pair and to protect the receiver from external interference — a standard requirement for any industrial or enterprise Ethernet port that must pass FCC or EN 55032 emissions limits. Board lock features are integrated into the SMT footprint — these are metal tabs that solder to the PCB alongside the signal pins.
Termination is solder, and the mounting method is Surface Mount. The tab direction is Down, which orients the plug latch toward the PCB — confirm this matches your panel cutout or enclosure clearance before placing the board. The housing is molded from Polyamide (PA9T), Nylon 9T, Glass Filled — a high-temperature nylon that withstands lead-free reflow profiles without warping.
