Industry Applications

Proven Performance Across Industries

Set-Top Boxes

Enables slim, sleek designs for home entertainment units and streaming media players.

Single Board Computers

Used on SBCs (like Raspberry Pi compute modules) to keep the overall stack height low.

Digital Signage

Slim screens and media players mounted behind displays require low-profile connectivity.

Ultrabooks & Laptops

The primary application. Sunk types allow the Ethernet port to fit into increasingly thin laptop chassis designs.

IoT Gateways

Compact wall-mounted gateways benefit from the reduced depth and height of our low-profile series.

Medical Devices

High-reliability jacks with 50u" gold plating for diagnostic equipment ports.

Why Choose Our Low-Profile Connectors?

Taiwan-Made Precision Engineering

Unlike generic commodity connectors, our jacks are engineered in Taiwan with high-precision stamping and molding to ensure consistent mechanical stability.

Maximize Thickness Reduction

Our Sunk-Type (Mid-Mount) designs sink the connector body into the PCB cutout, effectively reducing the component height above the board by up to 50%, enabling ultra-thin device profiles.

Standard & Custom Offsets

We offer varying degrees of sinking depth (PCB offset) to match your specific chassis mechanical design and PCB thickness limitations.

Reflow Compatible SMT Options

For high-volume automated assembly, our low-profile jacks are available in Tape & Reel packaging with high-temperature LCP housings suitable for IR reflow soldering processes.

Technical FAQs

Common questions from procurement and engineering teams.

What is a 'Sunk Type' or Mid-Mount RJ45 Connector?

A Sunk Type (or Mid-Mount) RJ45 connector is designed to sit partially below the PCB surface. It requires a cutout in the circuit board, allowing the connector body to 'sink' down. This drastically reduces the profile height above the board, making it ideal for ultra-thin devices like laptops and tablets.

What is the lowest profile height you offer?

Our standard Low-Profile series starts at around 11.5mm height. For our Sunk/Mid-Mount series, the height above the PCB can be as low as 8.5mm or even 6.0mm depending on how deep the sinking depth (offset) is configured.

Do low-profile jacks compromise on durability?

Not at all. Despite their slim form factor, our low-profile jacks use high-performance thermoplastic housings and robust solder tabs to ensure mechanical retention. We test them to the same mating cycle standards (750+ cycles) as our standard height connectors.

Are integrated magnetics available in low-profile sizes?

Yes, we offer Low-Profile Integrated Connector Modules (ICMs) that include 10/100 or Gigabit magnetics inside the slim housing. This provides a complete Ethernet interface solution without adding height for external magnetic components.
