HC-WK88-H16-DB Shielded RJ45 Jack Right Angle THT With Yellow/Green LEDs

The HC-WK88-H16-DB is a highly reliable, single-port RJ45 Connector engineered for standard local area network (LAN) and data communication applications. Designed with a 90-degree Right Angle orientation and Through-Hole Technology (THT) mounting, it provides a secure and space-efficient solution for PCB layouts.

This connector features an integrated stainless steel shield to combat Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and built-in diagnostic LEDs (Left: Yellow, Right: Green) for instant network status visualization. With a robust PBT housing and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, the HC-WK88-H16-DB guarantees a minimum of 750 mating cycles, making it an excellent choice for telecommunications, consumer electronics, and industrial control boards requiring stable 1.5A current and 125 VAC RMS voltage ratings.

Engineering Design-in Guidelines

For PCB designers integrating the HC-WK88-H16-DB into new hardware:

1. PCB Thickness: The through-hole pins are optimized for a standard 1.60mm PCB. Ensure your board stack-up matches this to guarantee proper solder joint formation.
2. Wave Soldering Profile: The PBT housing is highly resilient, but thermal limits must be respected. Ensure your wave soldering profile does not exceed 260°C for 10 seconds to prevent housing deformation.
3. LED Routing: The integrated LEDs (Yellow/Green) require appropriate current-limiting resistors on your PCB layout to match the forward voltage of standard networking PHY chips
