Shielded RJ45 Jack for Press-Fit Backplane Assembly
It carries a Cat5 rating, meaning the connector is specified for 100 MHz signal paths typical of 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Ethernet — adequate for most structured cabling and industrial network drops. The press-fit termination eliminates solder, making this jack a natural fit for backplane assemblies where rework and reliability are priorities.
Shielding and EMI Containment
This jack is fully shielded with an EMI finger, and the tab direction is both up and down — a detail that tells the board layout engineer the shield contacts the chassis on two sides, improving ground return and reducing radiated emissions.
The 1888652-1 mounts via board edge, panel mount, or through-hole, with press-fit termination — no solder wicking, no reflow profile, and the connector is held by interference fit in plated through-holes.
