Modular Jacks with Integral LED
114–2154
Shielded modular jacks feature tin–lead plated brass shells which provide continuity for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC).
When mated with corresponding shielded modular plugs, shielding and grounding continuity are achieved.
When the shield solder tines are soldered to the pc board, they provide electrical continuity to any ground path
on the pc board and, if applicable, panel ground tabs on the shield provide electrical continuity to any ground
path through the equipment panel.

3.3. PC Board
A. Material and Thickness
114–2154
The pc board material shall be glass epoxy (FR–4 or G–10). The pc board thickness shall be 1.57 [.062].
B. Hole Dimensions
Plated through holes must be used for contact and LED solder tines and, for shielded modular jacks,
shield solder tines. The drilled hole size, plating types, and plating thickness are dependent on the
application requirements. The finished hole size must be as stated to provide unrestricted insertion, proper
retention in the pc board, and to ensure adequate application of solder to the tines. See Figure 4.
C. Layout
The holes in the pc board must be precisely located to ensure proper placement and optimum
performance of the modular jack. The pc board layout must be designed using the dimensions provided on
the customer drawing for the specific modular jack.

3.4. Placement
CAUTION
114–2154
The modular jacks should be handled only by the housing to avoid deformation, contamination, or damage to the
solder tines.
A. Alignment
The modular jack number one position must be aligned with the number one position board hole. When
placing modular jacks on the pc board, the solder tines and boardlocks must be aligned with matching
holes before placing the jack onto the pc board. All solder tines and boardlocks must be started into the
holes, then gently pressed downward.
B. Seating
The modular jack shall be flush and evenly seated on the pc board.
3.5. Soldering
NOTE
A hold–down may be used to hold the modular jack in place during the soldering process.
A. Flux Selection
Solder tines must be fluxed prior to soldering with a mildly active, rosin base flux. Selection of the flux will
depend on the type of pc board and other components mounted on the board. Additionally, the flux must
be compatible with the wave solder line, manufacturing, health, and safety requirements. Call PRODUCT
INFO at the number at the bottom of page 1 for consideration of other types of flux. Flux that is compatible
with these connectors are provided in Figure 5.
