Basic Information
RJ Designation
Modular jacks are commonly misrepresented by the
Registered Jack (RJ) designations shown below. TE
modular jacks should be selected by position size and
number of contacts loaded.

Product Features
Shielded
A metal shell that provides EMI/RFI*
protection. EMI/RFI is unwanted
electromagnetic energy (or “noise”) in the
frequency range that is generally used in
radio communication.
Keyed
Designed for the use with a keyed plug to
ensure proper mating and will also accept a
standard plug
Panel Stops
Provides additional
mechanical support,
especially with top entry
jacks.
Mounting pegs
Provide location and retention support
during soldering processes, but do not func-
tion as boardlocks. The majority of modular
jacks have some type of mounting peg.
Grounding Options
Panel Ground
— Makes contact with the
panel for ground connections
PCB Ground
— Makes contact with the PCB
for ground connections
LEDs
Integrated into the mod-
ular jack, eliminating the
need for additional system
space for indicators.
Available in multiple colors
and configurations.
Inverted
Contacts are on the bottom and the latch
is on the top to allow for alternate location
of latch.

Tab Up

*Terminology Key
EMI — Electro Magnetic Interference

45 Degree Angle Jacks
The newest addition to TE’s single port
modular jack portfolio is the angled RJ45
connector for Cat6 applications which
provides increased data rates, reduced
signal interference and easier connections
with a 45 degree angle design.
Features
• Cat6 performance rating
• >1Gbps transmission independent of
Integrated Circuit Module (ICM)
• Shielded
• Grounding and panel features
Achieve Faster Data Rates
• Exceeds data rates of 1Gbps, meeting
the requirements for Cat6 applications
• Expands the possibilities for broader
bandwidth Ethernet connections
Increase Ease of Assembly
• 45 degree angle entry jack design
allows for easy, efficient cable
connections
• Provides a connector surface that is
more visible and accessible than right
angle or vertical jacks in small or hard-
to-reach spaces
Reduce Signal Interference
• Features up to 4x the number of EMI
springs in the shield design than other
RJ45 connectors on the market
• Improves EMI shieldng effectiveness
and helps prevent external interference
to the transmission signal as well as
reduce interference to external devices
Decrease PCB Assembly Costs
• Supports cost-effective IR reflow
soldering processes with high-
temperature, LCP (liquid crystal
polymer material
• Increases assembly efficiency with a
single soldering process for through
hole and SMT connections
