These are simple through-hole RJ45 sockets with PCB mounting posts. These 8-pin connectors are commonly used in conjunction with Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 Ethernet cables. Because Ethernet cable is so ubiquitous, these are awesome for projects where you need to string a lot of modules together over a distance.
We used these, along with the breakout boards which you can find in the related items below, in the Sound Squid demo!
Note: The price listed is for one jack.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- RJ45
- The common plug and socket style used for wired Ethernet network cables. If a board has an RJ45 connector, you can usually plug it into standard Ethernet cabling without making a custom connector.
