Board-Mount Ethernet Jack for 1000BASE-T
The TE Connectivity 6-2301994-0 is a single-port RJ45 jack designed for 10/100/1000 Base-T and AutoMDIX applications. The 8-core, single-row layout matches the standard Ethernet pinout for 8P8C (RJ45) connectors.
Shielding and Retention for Industrial Noise Environments
This jack includes a full shield with EMI fingers and is constructed from a brass shield material, providing a low-impedance path to ground on the PCB. The board lock feature anchors the connector during soldering and adds mechanical retention against cable strain and vibration — a practical advantage in industrial equipment or networking gear where the cable is frequently plugged and unplugged.
The solder termination is suited for wave or hand-solder assembly on a standard through-hole footprint.
