In the design of high-density networking hardware, consolidating connections is key to efficiency. The 1×4 Port RJ45 8P8C 90-Degree Modular Jack by
Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd.is a multi-port solution engineered to streamline PCB layouts. By housing four independent Ethernet ports in a single, unshielded housing, this component significantly reduces assembly time and board complexity.
ThisQuad-Port (1×4) configuration is ideal for network switches, hubs, and industrial controllers where multiple data streams must be managed in a compact horizontal space.
Optimized for High-Density Connectivity
The 1×4 Port Multi-port Modular Jack offers a streamlined alternative to using four individual connectors. Its design provides several strategic advantages for OEMs:
-
Space Efficiency: By using a single housing for four ports, it minimizes the “dead space” between connectors, allowing for a more compact front-panel design.
-
Simplified Assembly: Reducing the component count on your Bill of Materials (BOM) leads to faster pick-and-place and wave soldering cycles.
-
Precision Alignment: A single 1×4 block ensures that all four ports are perfectly aligned with the enclosure’s cutouts, eliminating the risk of individual port tilting or misalignment.
-
Robust Integrated Design: The unified body offers better structural integrity on the PCB compared to four isolated single-port connectors.
Key Product Features
-
Right-Angle (90-Degree) Entry: The side-entry orientation is perfect for horizontal PCB mounting, directing Ethernet cables parallel to the board for a lower device profile.
-
8P8C Standard Interface: Each port features a full 8-position, 8-contact configuration, fully compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 Ethernet standards.
-
Unshielded (UTP) Configuration: A cost-effective, high-performance solution for applications where internal metal shielding is not required, offering a clean and professional aesthetic.
-
High-Conductivity Gold Contacts: Each contact is selectively gold-plated over nickel to ensure low-resistance data transmission and superior protection against atmospheric corrosion.
-
Durable Thermoplastic Housing: Molded from high-grade, UL 94V-0 rated thermoplastic, designed to withstand industrial operating temperatures and standard wave soldering.
