RJ45 Single Port Modular Jack 8 Pin DIP — RJ45-1X05 Overview
The RJ45-1X05 is a RJ45 single port modular jack 8 pin DIP connector designed for right-angle through-hole PCB mounting in Ethernet networking applications. Manufactured by Vistar Electronics, this half-shielded 8P8C modular jack delivers dependable 10/100/1000BASE-T network connectivity for routers, switches, industrial gateways, embedded computing boards, and any PCB requiring a robust side-panel Ethernet port.
The right-angle DIP orientation positions the RJ45 socket opening perpendicular to the PCB surface and flush with the board edge — the classic configuration for Ethernet ports on side panels and rear panels of networking equipment, desktop computers, and embedded controller boards. The 8P8C RJ45 connector through-hole design drives all eight signal pins through plated through-holes in the PCB, providing substantially greater pull-out resistance and long-term mechanical reliability compared to SMT mounting. This is particularly important for Ethernet ports that may experience repeated cable connection and disconnection cycles, or mechanical stress from accidental cable strain.
The RJ45-1X05 modular jack features a half-shielded construction — a partial metallic shell on the connector body provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) attenuation for the RJ45 interface, reducing radiated emissions and improving immunity in dense electronic environments, without the full PCB area commitment of a fully shielded variant. The half-shield connects to the PCB ground plane via the through-hole shell pins, providing a practical EMI shielding solution for cost-sensitive designs.
Supporting all three standard Ethernet speeds — 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) — the RJ45-1X05 is compatible with all IEEE 802.3 compliant network interface controllers (NICs) and Ethernet PHY ICs. For 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet operation, four differential pairs (all eight pins) are used for simultaneous bidirectional transmission. For 10/100BASE-T, two pairs are used. The connector’s electrical characteristics support the signal integrity requirements of all three standards when proper PCB trace routing practices are followed.
According to the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Standard, the 8P8C modular connector (commonly called RJ45 in networking contexts) is the standardised physical interface for 10/100/1000BASE-T copper Ethernet. The RJ45-1X05 is dimensionally compliant with the IEC 60603-7 modular connector standard, ensuring compatibility with all standard Ethernet cables and plugs.
The RJ45-1X05 is rated at 1.5A / 125VAC per contact, with maximum insertion and withdrawal forces of 30N each. The contact material uses phosphor bronze with gold plating on the mating zone for low and stable contact resistance. The insulator body is manufactured from high-temperature thermoplastic, compatible with wave soldering assembly processes.
For magnetic (integrated transformer) RJ45 jacks, compare with our SMT Magnetic RJ45 jack 1000BASE-T which integrates the isolation transformer on-chip. For alternative mounting styles, see our full RJ45 modular jack range.
All RJ45-1X05 connectors are manufactured in Vistar Electronics’ ISO 9001:2015 certified facility in Shenzhen, China, and fully comply with RoHS 3 (EU Directive 2015/863) and REACH SVHC regulations — ready for global export markets.

Why Engineers Choose the RJ45-1X05 Half-Shielded RJ45 PCB Connector
DIP Through-Hole — Maximum Mechanical Anchoring for Panel Ports
Eight signal pins plus shell ground pins pass through the PCB and are wave-soldered on the back side. This creates mechanical bonds on both sides of the board, providing far greater pull-out resistance and side-load strength than any SMT connector. Essential for a side-panel Ethernet port subject to regular cable plugging and unplugging by end users.
Half-Shield Construction — Practical EMI Attenuation
The partial metallic shell provides EMI shielding at the RJ45 interface, reducing radiated emissions and noise coupling without the full ground plane area requirement of a fully shielded connector. The shield connects to the PCB ground plane through the shell pins, grounding the connector body and suppressing EMI at the port entry point.
10/100/1000BASE-T — Gigabit Ethernet Ready
Supports all three standard copper Ethernet speeds: 10BASE-T (10 Mbps), 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps Fast Ethernet), and 1000BASE-T (1 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet). The 8P8C configuration uses all four differential pairs for 1000BASE-T, meeting IEEE 802.3ab signal integrity requirements for Gigabit data rates over Cat5e/Cat6 cabling.
Right-Angle Orientation — Standard Side-Panel Port Footprint
The 90° right-angle orientation exits the RJ45 socket toward the board edge — the standard footprint for Ethernet ports on side panels, rear panels, and I/O brackets across networking equipment, embedded computers, and industrial controllers. Compatible with standard PCB edge-mount chassis cutouts (14.0mm × 13.5mm aperture).
−40°C to +85°C — Industrial Temperature Range
Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C, covering the full industrial temperature range. Suitable for deployment in outdoor enclosures, industrial control panels, automotive accessories, and embedded systems that operate in environments beyond the typical commercial 0°C to +70°C range.

Where to Use the RJ45 Right-Angle DIP Connector 1000BASE-T — RJ45-1X05 Applications
RJ45-1X05 Single Port Modular Jack — Frequently Asked Questions
What does “8P8C” mean and is it the same as RJ45?
8P8C stands for “8 Position, 8 Contact” — it describes the physical connector format: 8 pin positions, all 8 occupied by electrical contacts. In networking, this connector is universally called “RJ45,” though strictly speaking RJ45 is a registered jack wiring standard and 8P8C is the physical connector. In practice, the terms are used interchangeably for Ethernet connectors.
The RJ45-1X05 is an 8P8C female receptacle (jack) — it accepts the 8P8C male plug found on standard Ethernet patch cables (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A). See the IEEE 802.3 standard for the full Ethernet pin assignment specification.
What is the difference between half-shielded and fully shielded RJ45 connectors?
A half-shielded RJ45 jack (like the RJ45-1X05) has a partial metallic shell that covers the top and sides of the connector body, providing EMI attenuation at the interface without requiring a full wraparound shield. It is suitable for applications with moderate EMI requirements and connects to the PCB ground plane through the shell pins.
A fully shielded RJ45 jack encloses the entire connector body in a continuous metallic shell, providing maximum EMI shielding — used in applications with stringent EMI emissions requirements (e.g., EN 55032 Class B) or high-noise industrial environments. For fully shielded RJ45 variants, see our full RJ45 connector range.
Does the RJ45-1X05 support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
The RJ45-1X05 connector itself is a passive mechanical and electrical component — it carries whatever current the PCB circuit applies to the Ethernet pins, up to the rated 1.5A per contact. IEEE 802.3af PoE delivers up to 15.4W (350mA at 48V), and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ delivers up to 30W — both well within the 1.5A contact rating.
However, PoE implementation requires a PoE PD (Powered Device) or PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) controller IC on the host PCB to handle the power negotiation and isolation. The RJ45-1X05 connector is hardware-compatible with PoE; the PoE functionality depends on your circuit design. For integrated magnetics with PoE support, see our SMT Magnetic Jack RJ45 1000BASE-T.
What assembly process is recommended for the RJ45-1X05?
The RJ45-1X05 uses through-hole DIP mounting and supports two assembly methods:
- Wave soldering — the standard method for through-hole PCB production. Insert the connector into the PCB holes, then pass through the wave solder machine. The high-temperature thermoplastic insulator body is rated for wave soldering profiles.
- Manual / hand soldering — suitable for prototyping, low-volume production, rework, and repair. Solder each pin individually with a soldering iron at the appropriate temperature.
Note: the RJ45-1X05 is supplied in bag or tray packaging, as the right-angle through-hole format is not compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place reflow production lines.
Does the RJ45-1X05 include integrated magnetics (isolation transformer)?
No. The RJ45-1X05 is a bare modular jack without integrated magnetics. An external Ethernet isolation transformer / magnetic module (e.g., H1102NL, LAN10/100/1000 pulse transformer) must be placed between the Ethernet PHY IC and the RJ45-1X05 on the PCB to provide the galvanic isolation, common-mode filtering, and impedance transformation required by the IEEE 802.3 standard.
If you prefer a connector with integrated magnetics (transformer + jack in one body), see our SMT Magnetic Jack RJ45 1000BASE-T, which eliminates the need for a separate transformer component on the PCB.
What is the MOQ and can I get a free sample?
Standard MOQ is 1,000 pieces with a 2–4 week production lead time. Free samples are available for qualified engineering and product development projects.
