Modular Connectors - Plugs

Modular connectors, also known as RJ connectors, are electrical connectors with two or more contacts that can be attached to or detached from a communication system. The 5-555042-3 plug is a shielded modular plug connector with a specialized design. It is used in applications that require high transmission rates, in order to ensure low loss and attenuation of signals.

Working Principle

The 5-555042-3 plug is designed with an anti-sway structure and a finger grip to ensure a secure connection. Its unique shape consists of two sections, held together by rivets, and it is designed with an asymmetric shape to ensure a secure connection with the cable. The plug also features a EMI/EMC (electromagnetic interference/electromagnetic compatibility) shield, which provides excellent protection from external electromagnetic forces.

The pinout of the plug contains twelve individual contacts, arranged in three columns of four wire contacts each. The contacts are terminated with crimped pins, and the wires extend from the contacts to the insulated plastic housing. A solderless coupling ensures that the contacts are securely attached to the housing.

The 5-555042-3 plug is designed to perform in mission critical applications, providing excellent electrical performance in harsh environments. It has an IP-67 rating, meaning it is resistant to dust, water, and extreme temperatures. The plug also features a vibration-resistant contact system, to ensure durability in a variety of applications.
