San Diego, Calif. - Pulse, a Technitrol Company (NYSE: TNL) and specialist in electronic component and subassembly design and manufacturing, has introduced its JKM platform, which is based around a compact 10-pin 1x1 gigabit RJ45 connector, used for connecting a transceiver to an Ethernet cable.

The new platform is designed for OEMs that need compact components for low-end Ethernet applications such as set-top boxes. The compact footprint allows for a 38% savings of circuit board space compared with existing gigabit JK0 platforms, says the company.
Electrically, the JKM platform has been tested to comply with IEEE specifications and standards, such as IEEE802.3. The platform is backward-compatible to 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps data throughputs and is configurable to the latest core topologies so that it performs optimally with many voltage/current mode PHYs (transceivers) available today.

Mechanically, the footprint is similar to most 10/100 1x1 RJ45s for easy board re-spin to enable migration of future products into the gigabit arena. It is also configurable with or without LEDs and EMI-fingers.
"Thr JKM platform is a great addition to the LAN product families here at Pulse," said Rowan Noble, Pulse field application engineer. "We are excited to offer it to our customers needing compact solutions for their projects."
The JKM platform is packaged in trays. Lead time is 6-8 weeks.
