Multiport RJ-45 filtered connectors reduce assembly costs

11 April 2001 Interconnection

The new PulseJack Harmonica family of multiport RJ-45 connectors with integrated magnetics from Pulse were co-developed with the Communications Business Unit of Tyco Electronics (AMP). The connectors which reduce EMI emissions also reduce assembly costs for manufacturers of high-density hubs and switches by reducing the overall component count.

The two-tier-stacked line of 8, 12 and 16-port RJ-45 connectors integrate magnetics to provide the isolation and EMI suppression necessary for 10/100Base-T computer and telecoms networks. Designed as one integrated module, PulseJack Harmonica connectors give switch manufacturers a cost-efficient, high-component-density solution.

Combining Tyco Electronics' 59 years of connector expertise with Pulse's miniature magnetic design, AMP's patented space-efficient stacked package allows shorter traces between the RJ-45 connectors and the LAN transceiver, improving both EMI emissions and electrical performance. The 2x4 8-port (J2042H3A), 2x6 12-port (J2045-H3B) and 2x8

16-port (J2039H3C) connector modules feature InterLock base construction that minimises the stresses of human handling of sub-components such as coils, leads and interconnecting wires, resulting in higher quality and reliability.

Fully shielded, the multi-port PulseJack Harmonica connector meets or exceeds the 1500 V r.m.s. isolation, IEEE 802.3, and ANSI X3.263 standards, including the rigorous 350 mH minimum open circuit inductance with 8 mA bias.
