| GTK has introduced a new range of true surface-mount low-profile
telephone sockets for use in compact modems.
Unlike
first-generation 'SMT' telephone connectors, GTK's new
MTC sockets incorporate an extra solder point on either
side to ensure secure mounting to the PCB over the lifetime
of the modem. The MTC range also offers around 20% cost
savings over existing SMT telephone sockets.
MTC sockets are available in three
different formats: RJ11 with four contacts, RJ12 with
six, and RJ45 with eight contacts and a slightly larger
footprint. Five gold plating options can be specified
for the contacts, depending on the projected number
of mating cycles over the lifetime of the component. |
