The Compressor Series of SMT MagJack connectors are designed for small-form-factor 1-GHz applications. These right-angle jacks incorporate the magnetics, required to provide isolation and EMI suppression necessary for 10/100/1000Base-T applications, into the shielded body of a rugged RJ-45 connector. The RoHS-compliant Compressor Series is comprised of a two-tier stacked line-up of 6-, 8-, 12-, and 16-port devices, at a height of 0.785 inches. According to the company, the MagJack connectors are available with varied internal filter designs to optimize the performance of the most popular chipsets, and meet or exceed IEEE 802.3ab and ANSI X3.263 standards.

Data Rate I/O cable plugs (VPDP Series) and receptacles (VRDPC Series) for high data-rate panel-to-panel and panel-to-board applications use 30 AWG twinax micro ribbon cable, and feature 100-watt differential signal routing with 8, 12, 16, or 24 signal pairs. Available with standard or reverse polarization, the assemblies are designed for rugged, longer length applications-up to one meter. Right-angle receptacles have contacts on .8-mm pitch for mating with the high-density cable plugs. The system is rated at 1 amp per contact, with a contact resistance of less than 15 milliohms per contact.

This thin pin jack housing is 8.5-mm-43% smaller than the company’s previous product line-and designed to reduce mounting space required in smaller equipment, such as LCD televisions, plasma displays, set-top boxes and projectors. The APT-3TV series jack is available in 5- and 10-pin versions, as well as 6-pin plus two Y/C terminals and 9-pin with 3 Y/C. Features include an optional switching function and a counter-noise shield plate.

These IP 67 industrial-grade components are available for Ethernet for Category 5e or Category 6 cabling in harsh environments. Mounting flanges are designed to be installed on either the exterior wall of an industrial circuit cabinet or directly to a wall within a building. Connection is achieved by snapping in the appropriate RJ-45 Category 5e or Category 6 modules. A cap cover provides a secure seal when the connector is not plugged in.

These modular jacks, with integrated magnetics for extended operating temperature (-40° to 85° C), are designed for 10/100 Ethernet applications. They are available in right-angle as well as vertical single-port configurations (single-port versions have grounding shields with panel flanges on top and sides). In addition, the jacks are available with resistors on unused pairs but without internal capacitor, with resistors on unused pairs and internal capacitor, or with full Bob Smith termination. According to the company, the modular jacks’ patented design meets FCC and IEEE 802.3 requirements for voltage isolation and performance.
