or metal bezel for maximum shielding
performance
Snap-fit or press-fit PCB retention options for
single-port versions
Conforms to Compact PCI, Eurocard and Common
Mezzanine Card Standards

Ethernet applications
High temperature material allows for Surface
Mount Compatibility during solder reflow
Meets FCC 68.5 specification
Each modular jack is 100% electronically tested to
detect possible shorting conditions before the
product is shipped
Molex introduces a new right angle modular jack with
a profile of 9.53mm (.375”) from the top of the PCB
to the top of the jack allowing for optimal board
stacking. This unique design allows the bottom of the
modular jack to sit flush with the bottom of the PCB,
adhering to the 2mm industry specification for
creepage and clearance. The compact jack is offered
in one, two and four port variations to meet many
design configurations.
This RJ-45 jack with through-hole PCB tails features a
choice of shielding options:
■

■
■
Unshielded
Shield with no grounding tabs
Shield with enhanced grounding tabs on top and
sides
Shield with side bezel grounding tabs for
CompactPCI applications
The compact modular jack meets Category 5e
performance for Gigabit Ethernet applications with
near-end cross talk (NEXT) loss of 43dB at 100 MHz.
The high-temperature housing material maintains
performance at a +260°C reflow soldering
temperature for one minute without deforming the
modular jack.
The compact profile of this modular jack makes it
suitable for use in notebook PCs and other spaceconscious devices that call for Category 5 or 5e
connection. Other applications include networking
equipment such as hubs, routers and switches. The
modular jack conforms to Compact PCI, Eurocard and
Common Mezzanine Card Standards.
