It is a single-port, single-row, through-hole component from the 5555153 series, designed for board-edge mounting on a PCB. The jack carries a Cat3 rating, meaning it is specified for voice and low-speed data applications up to 16 MHz — not for modern Gigabit Ethernet or PoE, but a solid fit for legacy telecom, basic networking, or industrial control panels where the cable plant is Cat3 or lower.
The shielded shell provides a path for EMI bleed to chassis ground, which helps keep the signal clean in electrically noisy environments like a factory floor or a telecom closet with switching gear nearby. Board locks and panel stops are integrated into the housing. The panel stops set the insertion depth against a panel cutout, so the jack face sits flush with the enclosure — a detail that saves time during mechanical integration. The PBT/polyester housing is a standard flame-retardant choice for this connector class, though no specific UL94 rating is listed in the spec.
The through-hole leads give a stronger mechanical bond to the PCB than an SMT version would, which matters when the jack sees repeated plug insertions.
