RJ45 connectors press-fit to PCBs

The JPB 2×6 1000BASE-T PoE and JT5 2xN 10GBASE-T I RJ45 integrated connector modules (ICMs) families with integrated magnetics from Pulse Electronics use a press-fit pin (also called compliant or interference pin) to provide a pressure contact with a printed circuit board (PCB), thereby eliminating the need for wave soldering.

Not only does this assembly method save time, increase throughput, and reduce costs, but it also allows rework of the ICM without damaging the PCB. Detailed process specifications for the ICMs, which meet IEEE 802.3 specifications, are available. The ICMs are packaged in trays and prices start at approximately $5.00/port.
