TM5RE3-64(20)

Modular Connectors play an important role in connecting coaxial and twisted pair cables and other types of network equipment. In order to meet the needs of different work environments, different types of Jacks have been developed. Among them, the TM5RE3-64 (20) is a jack that allows up to 16 twisted pairs or 16 coaxial cables to be connected. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the TM5RE3-64 (20).

Application Field

Due to its versatility, the TM5RE3-64 (20) Jack is used in a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in Ethernet networks, telephone systems, data centers, cable television systems, optical fiber communications and many other applications. It is also used in the connection of instrumentation, communications systems, data transmission systems, and other network interfaces. The TM5RE3-64 (20) is well-suited for harsh environments, as it is resistant to heat, vibration, corrosion, electromagnetic interference, and shock.

Working Principle

The TM5RE3-64 (20) Jack works by providing an electrical connection between two components. It consists of two parts: an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve. The outer sleeve is threaded and acts as the ground connection. The inner sleeve is made of plastic and has a built-in ridge that connects the two parts together. When the two parts are connected, the ridge ensures that the connection is electrically and mechanically secure.

The inner sleeve contains a number of metal inserts that serve as the electrical contacts. The metal inserts are arranged in rows. Each row corresponds to one of the 16 twisted pairs or coaxial cables. Between the rows of contacts, there are also slots for wire insulation. This ensures that the jacket material of the cables is kept apart from the contacts, thus avoiding short circuits.

The TM5RE3-64 (20) Jack can be supplied in a variety of sizes. The two most common sizes are the TM5R3-64 (20) and the TW5R3-64 (36). The TM5R3-64 (20) is suitable for applications where only 16 twisted pairs or coaxial cables need to be connected. The TW5R3-64 (36) is suitable for applications where up to 36 twisted pairs or coaxial cables need to be connected.

Conclusion

The TM5RE3-64 (20) Jack is a versatile modular connector capable of connecting up to 16 twisted pairs or coaxial cables. It is commonly used in Ethernet networks, telephone systems, data centers, cable television systems, optical fiber communications and many other applications. Its rugged construction and metal insert contacts ensure that it can withstand harsh environments. It is available in two sizes, the TM5R3-64 (20) and the TW5R3-64 (36).
