RJ45 8P8C Female PCB Jack Ethernet Network Connector

Wiring Connections:

• Pin Configuration:
  • The RJ45 connector includes 8 pins arranged in pairs for differential signaling (TX/RX).
  • Common wiring standards are T568A and T568B, defining the pinout for Ethernet cables.
• Pin Assignment for T568B Standard:

• 1. Pin 1: White/Orange (Transmit +)
  2. Pin 2: Orange (Transmit -)
  3. Pin 3: White/Green (Receive +)
  4. Pin 4: Blue (Unused)
  5. Pin 5: White/Blue (Unused)
  6. Pin 6: Green (Receive -)
  7. Pin 7: White/Brown (Unused)
  8. Pin 8: Brown (Unused)

Power:

• Power Supply Requirement: The RJ45 connector does not require a dedicated power supply; it transmits data signals.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): Some connectors support PoE, allowing power and data to be delivered over a single Ethernet cable.

Input and Output:

• Input: Accepts Ethernet cables for data input from connected devices (computers, routers, switches).
• Output: Provides a connection point for data transmission to the network.

Physical Characteristics:

• Material: Housing made of durable plastic; metal contacts for good conductivity.
• Color: Usually black or beige, with transparent sections for visibility.
• Mounting Type: Designed for soldering onto a PCB, with through-hole pins.

Technical Specifications:

• Frequency Range: Up to 100 MHz for standard Ethernet connections (Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6).
• Insertion Life: Rated for 750 insertions/removals.
• Operating Temperature: between -40°C to +70°C.

Additional Features:

• LED Indicators: Some models include built-in LED indicators for power or data transmission status.
• RoHS Compliant: Many RJ45 connectors are compliant with environmental regulations, ensuring no harmful substances are used in manufacturing.

How to Use:

1. Wiring the Connector:
   • Prepare the Ethernet cable according to the desired standard (T568A or T568B).
   • Strip the cable insulation and arrange the wires in the correct order based on the standard.
   • Insert the wires into the RJ45 connector and crimp or solder them in place.
2. Mounting on PCB:
   • Align the connector’s pins with the PCB holes.
   • Solder the pins to secure the connector to the board.
   • Ensure proper alignment for reliable connections.
3. Testing the Connection:
   • After mounting, connect the Ethernet cable to the jack and test the network connection with a device (e.g., a computer or router).
   • Verify the connection by checking for network activity.
