The TE Connectivity 2041126-1 is an A-RJ45 series modular jack, terminated 8p8c — the standard RJ45 pinout for 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet. The single-port, single-row layout keeps the footprint compact; the surface-mount solder tails run through a standard reflow profile.
Board Layout and Assembly Notes
This matters for panel cutout alignment — the tab direction determines which side of the jack the latch sits on, so the mating plug's locking tab engages correctly with the enclosure opening. Surface-mount termination requires a reflow solder profile compatible with the PA9T/glass-filled housing; the material handles lead-free temperatures without distortion. Gold-plated contacts with 6.00 µin thickness provide adequate corrosion protection for typical indoor data-rack environments — not a heavy-duty industrial cycling spec, but fine for patch-panel and equipment-port duty where the connector sees dozens, not thousands, of mates.
