RJ45 8P8C Female Ethernet Connector – Single Port Shielded PCB Jack
The RJ45 8P8C Single Network Port is a compact, shielded female Ethernet connector designed for PCB mounting in networking and electronic communication equipment.
Featuring an 8-position, 8-contact (8P8C) configuration, this connector provides a connection point for standard RJ45 Ethernet cables. Its metal shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), while the durable plastic housing and copper-alloy contacts support reliable electrical connections.
Ideal for embedded systems, network interface boards, industrial electronics, and custom PCB projects.

Important Notes
-
This is a passive RJ45 connector, not a complete Ethernet communication module.
- Ethernet communication requires a compatible Ethernet controller, PHY, and supporting circuitry.
- Integrated Ethernet magnetics are not confirmed for this connector.
- Verify the PCB footprint, pinout, and mounting dimensions before installation.
- Ethernet speed and cable-category performance ratings are not specified.
- The 500 V AC specification refers to dielectric withstand testing, not normal operating voltage.
