SKIDERFlex RJ45 Connector
General Description
The SKIDERFlex RJ45 Connector is a RJ45 Connector with integrated Magnetics for Gigabit Ethernet. It utilizes the SKIDERFlex mounting system with various castellated holes for easy and rapid integration in every project or product. You will not have to fiddle with tiny SMD componentens to integrate this Ethernet Switch into your design.
Features
- 1 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Ports
- yellow and green LED on RJ45 connector
- supports industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) TBD
- no external components needed for basic operation (except power supply and connections)
- small form factor (PCB: 22.86mm x 30.48mm / with Connector: 22.86mm x 33.35mm)
- compatible with breadboards (only for testing / could affect signal quality)
Operating Instructions
The SKIDERFlex RJ45 Connector supports Ethernet Signals up to 1000BASE-T. The Connector is protected against ESD and features a fully Gigabit compatible Signal-Transformer circuit. A compatible Ethernet Switch can be purchased at shop.skider.de/FLEX-ETHS0-0.

Mechanical Drawing
Typical Application
The SKIDERFlex RJ45 Connector is intended for use on an application specific circuit board. Premade circuit boards can be acquired at shop.skider.de/FLEX-REF1 (link to be verified). If you want to integrate the SKIDERFlex RJ45 Connector into your own design, a KiCad Library can be found at support.skider.de/library (link to be verified). If you choose to integrate it into your own design, just connect the respective pins to their according lanes. No additional filters or transformers are needed. The LED pins can be connected as needed. There are no current limiting resistors installed. A compatible Ethernet Switch, as the SKIDERFlex Small Ethernet Switch already implement current limiting resistors on the LED pins.
Environmental Compliance
The SKIDERFlex RJ45 Connector is compliant with RoHS III (EU 2015/863). For more information please contact us at compliance@skider.de (e-mail to be verified)
Declaration of Conformity
Potentially compliant with 2014/30/EU. (definitely to be verified -> potentially no CE applicable / 2014/35/EU not applicable due to voltage < 75V)
