The TE Connectivity 5554990-1 is a 6P6C modular jack — the 6-position, 6-contact variant that covers RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 wiring schemes. It mounts vertically through a PCB hole and terminates by wave solder. The jack is unshielded and rated Cat3, which limits it to voice-frequency and 10BASE-T Ethernet applications; it is not designed for 100BASE-TX or gigabit data paths.
Board Lock and Mechanical Retention
The tab direction is user-selectable, so the latch orientation can be flipped to match the panel cutout or PCB layout.
No official cross-reference or second-source part is listed for this TE Connectivity modular jack.
