Board-Edge Ethernet Jack with Visual Status
The housing carries a green/yellow LED pair for link and activity indication, saving a separate indicator on the panel. The Cat5 rating means it supports 100 MHz signaling — enough for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T in typical office, industrial control, or building-management runs.
Through-hole solder termination with a right-angle body — the eight signal pins plus the shield tabs all go through the board. The tab direction is up, meaning the latch that holds the RJ45 plug faces the top of the board; check your enclosure clearance so the plug release isn't blocked. Single-port design, single row of contacts. The phosphor bronze spring contacts are gold-plated on the mating interface; the solder tails are tin for a reliable joint.
