Molex RJ45 Connector Female, Through Hole, Shielded, Right Angle, Cat3, 1 Port, 8 Way,

The Molex 43202-8816 is a high-performance RJ45 connector designed for robust and reliable Ethernet and telecommunication applications. This female connector features a shielded modular jack that minimizes electromagnetic interference and ensures signal integrity in demanding environments such as industrial networking, telecom systems, and precision laboratory setups.

Engineered for through hole mounting, the 43202-8816 enables secure mechanical retention to printed circuit boards. Its right-angle configuration provides flexible integration into compact or space-constrained PCBs, facilitating efficient board layout and rear panel access. With a Cat3 rating, the connector is suitable for standard Ethernet and legacy networking requirements where cost-effective yet stable performance is required.

Durability is achieved through the use of high-quality phosphor bronze and brass contact materials, finished with selective tin and gold plating to provide both corrosion resistance and low contact resistance. The physical design supports 8-way (8/8) connectivity, matching industry-standard RJ45 applications, and is geared toward systems needing a single Ethernet port per module or enclosure.

The Molex 43202-8816 accommodates operating conditions from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable function in both industrial control panels and commercial installations. Shielding further improves resilience to electrical noise, making it ideal for installations in environments with significant EMI/RFI exposure.

Dimensions of 16.36mm (length), 12.09mm (width), and 18.64mm (depth) allow for integration into dense component layouts. The solder termination style simplifies board assembly processes while providing robust mounting support.

This connector finds use in a range of industrial and laboratory applications, including automation controllers, laboratory instrumentation, data acquisition modules, networking panels, and communications chassis, where mechanical stability, signal fidelity, and space efficiency are essential.
