Surface-mounted modular jacks for advanced telecommunications applications

15 August 2001 Interconnection

Erni subsidiary Maxconn offers a line of surface-mounted modular jack connectors aimed at OEM customers of telecommunications equipment that make Fast Ethernet and Gigabit technology modems and computer peripheral products. The product line consists of single-port and gang multiport modular jacks with from 1 to 8 positions, shielded and nonshielded, in all RJ11/12 and RJ45/48 configurations typically used in Fast Ethernet applications.

The standard products are 0,76 mm gold plated; optional 1,27 mm gold plating is also available. They are rated for 1000 mating cycles and can be mounted with or without a PCB locating pin. The shielded versions are available with either SMT or through-hole leads for positive PCB grounding to chassis.

Maxconn's unique design allows for positive alignment from pin to pin and port to port for multigang contact positioning and are 1,5 kV high-voltage test compatible. The new modem and Fast Ethernet connector is offset below the surface of the board, making it the ideal connector for portable equipment and handheld products.
