Rated for Cat4 applications, this jack operates within -40°C to 85°C. The unshielded design keeps cost and assembly complexity low for installations where external EMI is not a concern.
Mounting and Board Layout Notes
The right-angle through-hole termination requires the PCB to have plated through-holes matching the pin layout of the 8P8C pattern. The tab direction is down, meaning the locking tab on the mating RJ45 plug faces the PCB side — verify this matches the cable exit direction in your enclosure design. Packaged in tray format, this part is not supplied on tape-and-reel. For high-volume pick-and-place lines, confirm the tray feeder compatibility or plan for manual placement.
