It sits in the 338556 series of single-port jacks and carries gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with a 50.0µin (1.27µm) finish on the mating surface — heavy enough to handle repeated plug insertions in a factory floor or lab environment without fretting. The shielded shell includes an EMI finger that grounds the shield to the chassis before the signal contacts mate, which cuts radiated emissions at the panel opening.
