This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Modular Connector Jacks With Magnetics category on DigiKey.com
Modular connectors are a series of standardized interconnect products commonly used in wired information and telecommunications networks. Those in this family are receptacles which integrate magnetic components needed for common applications such as Ethernet. Plugs and receptacles/jacks which do not integrate these magnetic components which are used for low-speed applications such as voice networks are catalogued separately.
SelectionCharacteristics
Connector Type: Indicates the style and configuration of the device.
Number of Ports: Indicates the number of connections available on the device.
Number of Rows: Indicates how many rows the ports are aligned in.
Applications: Application is the type of equipment or environment the device will be used in, they are tested and typically rated by a third party to ensure certain minimum standards for the application they are intended for.
Mounting Type: Indicates how the device is attached.
Orientation: The relative direction of the port(s) to the rest of the connector body.
Termination: Selection of termination style used to connect the device to a system, such as IDC, through hole, or solder.
Height Above Board: Indicates how far the device will extend above the surface to which it has been attached.
LED Color: Describes the color(s) of the indicator LED(s) incorporated in a jack.
Number of Cores per Jack: The quantity of magnetic cores (transformer, filter, etc.) per jack within the connector.
Shielding: Whether or not the device possesses an electrically insulating barrier that helps to reduce or eliminate electromagnetic interference, and its type if applicable.
Features: These are different capabilities or properties of the device such as board guide, filter, or solder retention.
Tab Direction: Indicates orientation(s) of a mating plug’s retention tab, when a jack is mounted to the top surface of a horizontal plane.
Contact Material: Indicates the material composition of the contacts.
Contact Finish: Indicates the thickness of the finish/plating material applied to the contacts.
Operating Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and other system components.
