The TE Connectivity 6368459-1 is a shielded RJ45 modular jack with 8P8C (8 position, 8 contact) configuration, rated for Cat5 Ethernet applications.
The Cat5 rating means this jack is specified for 100 MHz signaling — sufficient for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) over four twisted pairs, but not certified for the 250 MHz bandwidth Cat6 demands. The thermoplastic housing carries no UL flammability rating in the listing, but the board guide helps locate the jack during hand or wave-solder assembly.
Shielding and Termination
This is a shielded jack with an EMI finger — the metal shell contacts the panel cutout or chassis ground, and the fingers provide a low-impedance path for conducted emissions. Solder termination suits wave-solder or hand-solder assembly; the through-hole leads give stronger mechanical retention than an SMT version would.
