Traditionally, RJ45 connectors with integrated magnetics are hand-placed and wave-soldered to ensure that the through-hole PCB connection is robust and reliable. Capable of 10, 100 and 1,000 Mb speeds, the magnetic jack is available with variable pin assignments, circuits, LEDs and EMI shield options to meet requirements for the majority of right-angle custom magnetics. Suitable for both commercial (0 to +70° C) and industrial (–40 to +85° C) operating temperatures, applications for the connectors can range from set-top boxes and point-of-sale terminals to security cameras and vision equipment. The connectors are appropriate for industrial, infrastructure, commercial, telecom and networking applications.

The MXMag™ Gigabit Single-Port RJ45 connector offers multiple packaging options to support automated assembly. Those options include tape and reel packaging for pick-and-place, and tray packaging for standard assembly.
