Incorporating 10/100 Base-TX magnetics, the connectors are supplied with 5 LED combinations and are available either shielded or unshielded. Containing within them the required transformers, chokes, capacitors and termination resistors, the parts allow for reduced board space compared to traditional designs that usually use separate components. Further, by incorporating the LEDs within the RJ45 socket itself, GTK has kept the size of single-socket devices down to 15.15 x 15.75 mm for the unshielded version, 13.15 x 13.46 for shielded devices.
The company supplies 15 different internal magnetic filter designs to accommodate the various chipsets found in 10/100 Base-TX network interface cards. The shielded connectors are supplied with EMI tabs, with shields manufactured from brass with nickel plate, and high temperature thermoplastic housing. GTK’s shielded magnetic jacks with LEDs retail typically at around £1.20 for 1000pcs. All products are RoHS-compliant.
