PulseJack™ 1×1 Tab-DOWN RJ45 with LEDs – Pulse Electronics

Category: Connectors, Electronics, Pulse Electronics Corporation

Product Overview

The datasheet presents the PulseJack™ 1×1 Tab-DOWN RJ45 with LEDs, a product crafted by Pulse Electronics, which stands as a member of the expansive YAGEO Company. This RJ45 connector is specifically designed to cater to Fast Ethernet applications (100 Base-TX) and comes equipped with integrated magnetics, also known as an Integrated Connector Module (ICM). It is suitable for applications in Small Office/Home Office (ADSL modems), LAN-on-Motherboard (LOM), hubs, and switches.

Features and Benefits

Key features of this product include compliance with RoHS specifications and a peak wave solder temperature rating of 260°C, signifying its resilience to high-temperature processes. It also supports Category 5 and 6 UTP Fast Ethernet cables or superior versions and achieves optimum performance adhering to or exceeding IEEE 802.3 standards for 100Base-TX.

Electrical Performance

The ICM exhibits a minimum of 350µH Off-Chip Linkup (OCL) with a 8mA bias current and provides a minimum isolation of 1500Vrms as per IEEE 802.3 requirements, ensuring safety and reliability. The electrical specifications highlight an operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C.

Signal Integrity

Signal integrity parameters are well-articulated across frequency bands ranging from 1 to 150 MHz, providing details on insertion loss, return loss, common mode rejection, crosstalk, and hipot (high potential) voltage ratings. Emphasis is placed on maintaining signal quality, with typified ratios for attenuation over a multitude of frequency ranges.

Multiple Configurations

Available part numbers differ based on mechanical, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and LED configurations. These options allow for a tailored approach to system design, ensuring compatibility and user-preference alignment regarding visual indicators and board design requirements.

LED Features

The datasheet mentions bi-color LED options (yellow/green) with internal resistors and emphasizes the provision for green and yellow LEDs alongside parts that forego any LED integration.

Durability and Material Quality

The RJ45 possesses a robust durability rating, sustaining up to 750 insertions and ensuring a secure connection with adequate mating and unmating force specifications. Material quality is detailed, specifying the shield composition of nickel over brass, the contact area finishes, solder area plating, and thermoplastic housing that complies with UL94V-0 fire safety standards. Notably, these components are RoHS compliant with tin matte finish over a nickel underplating.

Regulatory Compliance

Connector dimensions are confirmed to align with FCC regulations, and RoHS parts exhibit a tin matte finish over nickel. The datasheet also references the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating, which is important for handling and storage considerations.
