Tyco Electronics Introduces Industrial Ethernet Connectors
Tyco Electronics has introduced a complete offering of Sealed RJ-45 Industrial Ethernet connectors and cable assemblies. The connectors and cables are
designed for many demanding manufacturing, processing and commercial applications. The connectors combine an industry proven mini-form circular
housing with an RJ-45 receptacle.
The receptacles are available in a variety of configurations to match many application requirements. A 110 punchdown block is available for quick, easy
insulation displacement connections (IDC). This receptacle style is suitable for many premises wiring applications. Additionally, another receptacle style
is available for printed circuit board (PCB) installation. This style is a short depth version intended for OEM designs that require an IP-67 rated, robust
connection for field equipment. A standard PCB receptacle is also available which allows a designer to solder a cable lead to an industrial Ethernet
connection. Lastly, a bulkhead passthrough receptacle is available. This version allows designers to bring Ethernet to a control box and creates a sealed
interface rated for IP 67.
The connectors are molded from ABS for the standard version with additional materials available for outdoor applications requiring UV stabilization.
The RJ-45 jack contacts are copper with nickel underplating and gold finish. Mating cycles are rated at up to 250.
Electrical performance is rated at 1.5 amps and 125 VDC. The 110 punchdown and bulkhead passthrough are Category 5e compliant and the direct
PCB mount is Category 5 compliant. Since the standard PC board mount requires field termination, it does not carry a rating.
This new release also includes RJ-45 and RJ-11 cordsets. The cordset uses a standard RJ-45 or RJ-11 plug and adds strain relief and a locking
mechanism which seals the connector when mated with an appropriate receptacle. Overmolded and field assembled plugs are available. Designers
can select from solid core, shielded PUR cable for long runs, stranded PVC for shorter "patch" applications or for more extreme environments, PROPLEX
cable with a KEVLAR jacket can be used.
