Molex, 85508 Series Female Cat5e RJ45 Connector

This modular jack from Molex is an effective choice for secure interfacing with telecommunications systems. It's an industry-standard RJ45 (registered jack) connector that provides fast data transmissions. A strong and durable thermoplastic housing means it can stand up to demanding industrial conditions, while contacts plated in gold over palladium nickel provide a strong and reliable connection. Shielding from EMI (electromagnetic interference) ensures steady transfer rates and lowers the risk of unauthorised access to sensitive data, improving system security.

• Flame retardant housing enhances worksite safety
• Cat5e LAN (local area network) means it can handle up to a gigabit of data per second for faster transmissions
• Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C means it'll work effectively in harsh environments
• Standard 8P8C (8 pins 8 contacts) configuration for fast and reliable joins

• Consumer and data communications
• Industrial processing
• Medical industry

Mount this jack onto PCBs (printed circuit boards) using through-hole mounting, then connect the plug through the top entry for fast and easy joins. You also have the option of reflow soldering it.
