In high-speed networking and industrial data communication, visual feedback and electromagnetic protection are non-negotiable. The Tab-Up Shielded RJ45 Modular Jack with Integrated LEDs by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd. is a premium, all-in-one connectivity solution.

Engineered for PCB mounting, this connector combines a robust metal shield with built-in diagnostic LEDs, specifically designed with a “Tab-Up” orientation to optimize ergonomics in slimline enclosures.

Advanced Design for Performance and Reliability

This Pran Electronics modular jack is more than just a connector; it is a critical interface for devices requiring high uptime and easy maintenance:

• Tab-Up Latch Orientation: The locking tab is positioned on the top, making it easier for users to release the Ethernet cable in compact designs where the PCB is mounted at the bottom of the device chassis.

• Integrated Status LEDs: Features high-visibility LEDs (typically Green/Yellow) built directly into the housing. This provides instant “Link” and “Activity” diagnostics, eliminating the need for separate LED components on the PCB and reducing assembly costs.

• Superior EMI/RFI Shielding: Wrapped in a high-grade nickel-plated brass shield with integrated grounding tabs. This ensures 360 degree protection against electromagnetic interference, essential for maintaining signal integrity in noisy industrial or office environments.

• Robust Grounding: The shield includes multiple grounding points to provide a low-impedance path to the PCB ground plane, protecting sensitive electronics from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Key Product Features

• Standard 8P8C Interface: Fully compatible with Category 5e (Cat5e) and Category 6 (Cat6) Ethernet networking standards.

• Gold-Plated Contacts: Selective gold plating over nickel on the contact surfaces ensures high-speed conductivity and maximum resistance to oxidation and wear.

• High-Temperature Thermoplastic: The housing is molded from UL 94V-0 rated material, capable of withstanding industrial operating temperatures and standard wave soldering processes.

• Through-Hole Mounting (THT): Sturdy solder pins provide a secure mechanical anchor to the PCB, ensuring the jack remains stable under the stress of frequent plugging and unplugging.

• Made in India Excellence: Manufactured by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd., supporting localized supply chains with world-class quality standards.
