TE 5520426-4 Modular Jack — Right-Angle, Unshielded, 8P8C
The TE Connectivity 5520426-4 is an 8P8C (RJ45) modular jack in a right-angle through-hole package. It is the unshielded variant in the 5520426 series, with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts and a PBT/polyester housing.
Cat3 Rating and Unshielded Construction
Rated Cat3, this jack is designed for voice and low-speed data applications — not for gigabit Ethernet or high-frequency signal integrity. The unshielded body lacks a metal shell and grounding tabs, so it does not provide EMI containment. If the installation runs near motors, drives, or RF sources, a shielded jack (such as the 5520426-3) would be the right call.
Through-hole solder termination with the tab facing down.
