Data Sheet

In modern electronic design, simplicity and cost-efficiency are often as important as functionality. The Tab-Up RJ45 Modular Jack with Integrated LEDs (Unshielded) by Pran Electronics Pvt. Ltd. is a precision-engineered solution for high-speed Ethernet applications where metal shielding is not required, but visual diagnostics are essential.

By integrating the LEDs directly into a lightweight, unshielded 8P8C housing, this connector helps engineers save PCB space, reduce the Bill of Materials (BOM), and provide a clean, modern aesthetic for plastic-enclosure devices.

The Benefit of Tab-Up & Unshielded Integration

This specific configuration is designed for versatility in commercial and indoor networking environments:

  • Tab-Up Latch Orientation: The locking tab is located on the top of the jack, allowing for easier cable release in designs where the PCB is mounted close to the bottom of the device housing.

  • Integrated Status Monitoring: Dual LEDs (typically Green and Yellow) are built into the front face of the connector, providing instant feedback on Link Status and Data Activity without requiring separate PCB-mounted LEDs.

  • Unshielded (UTP) Advantage: The absence of a metal shield makes this connector lighter and more cost-effective. It is perfect for devices housed in non-conductive plastic casings where internal EMI is already managed through board layout.

  • Streamlined Assembly: Replacing separate LEDs and a standard RJ45 with this integrated unit reduces pick-and-place time and simplifies your PCB trace routing.

Key Product Features

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

  • High-Visibility LEDs: Available in various color combinations (Green/Yellow, Green/Green) to meet specific diagnostic requirements.

  • Premium Gold-Plated Contacts: Features selective gold plating over nickel to ensure low contact resistance and long-term reliability against oxidation.

  • Durable Thermoplastic Body: Molded from high-grade, UL 94V-0 rated thermoplastic, capable of withstanding industrial operating temperatures and standard wave soldering.

  • Robust THT Mounting: Through-hole technology (THT) pins provide a secure mechanical anchor to the PCB, ensuring the jack stays firm during frequent cable insertion.
