Product Overview: Vertical Efficiency with Superior Shielding

The 8P8C (8 Positions, 8 Contacts) shielded modular jack is designed for perpendicular (180-degree) mounting on the PCB. The integrated metallic shroud provides a continuous ground path, effectively draining transient interference and protecting sensitive data packets from external noise.

• 180° Straight Orientation: Perfect for top-access panels, internal “sandwich” PCB stacks, or devices where edge-mounting is restricted.

• Full Metallic Shielding: Encased in a high-quality copper alloy shield with tin or nickel plating to ensure maximum EMI/RFI protection.

• Integrated Grounding Tabs: Features robust solder-down shield tabs that provide a low-impedance path to the PCB ground plane.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Build Quality

1. High-Speed Signal Integrity

To ensure error-free transmission in Gigabit Ethernet environments, the internal contacts are crafted from phosphor bronze with premium gold plating. Combined with the external shielding, this ensures a high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and prevents packet loss even in proximity to power lines or motors.

2. Reinforced Mechanical Stability

Vertical jacks can experience significant downward force during cable insertion. Pran Electronics utilizes a reinforced housing and sturdy shield-to-PCB grounding legs. This design distributes mechanical stress and ensures the jack remains perfectly upright and electrically bonded to the board.

3. “Make in India” Precision

Produced at our ISO 9001:2015 certified facility in Vadodara, every shielded RJ45 jack undergoes 100% inspection for shield continuity and contact alignment. All units are RoHS compliant, meeting global environmental safety standards.
