Historically, RJ45 connectors with integrated magnetics are hand placed and wave soldered to ensure that the through-hole PCB connection is robust and reliable.
The MXMag looks to address the needs of manufacturers who are working to fully automate their assembly lines without compromising on the quality of through-hole solder joints.
Designed to provide 10/100/1000Mbit transmission speeds, the magnetic jack is available with varied 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 are varied, from set-top boxes (STBs) and point-of-sale (PoS) terminals to security cameras and vision equipment.
Among other notable features of the MXMag Gigabit Single-Port RJ45 connector are its compact size, with a depth of just 21.56mm (0.85"), and robust design – it can withstand 2,500 mating cycles.
Multiple packaging options are available to support OEMs during their transition to automated assembly processes – tape and reel packaging for pick-and-place and tray packaging for standard assembly.
