RJ45 connectors are suitable for front-of-board mounting, and can be conveniently fitted after all soldering operations on the board are complete.

With a mounting height of just 7.6mm above the PCB, the new Super-Flat RJ45 compression jacks from Molex offer solderless straddle-mount installation, eliminating the need for specific soldering processes and for separate press-fit operations In addition, solderless installation simplifies PCB design by removing the requirement for pin holes, as well as making it easier to recycle end-of-life equipment
