Modular socket ShiverPeaks 79220 – 8/8 unshielded, for PCB mounting

Modular socket ShiverPeaks 79220 is an 8/8 unshielded connector engineered for print mounting on PCBs. The component provides eight pairs of contacts arranged for standard modular cabling and is designed for fixed installation in telecom, networking and control equipment where an unshielded modular connection is required. The connector's form factor supports direct soldering to the board and integrates with common PCB layouts for modular jacks.

Advantages

The ShiverPeaks 79220 offers compact dimensions and a consistent contact arrangement that simplifies board design and assembly. Its unshielded configuration reduces material complexity while maintaining reliable electrical contact for modular cabling. The socket is intended for durable, long-term mounting on printed circuit boards and is compatible with industry-standard modular plugs in applications that do not require additional electromagnetic shielding.

Suitable for

• Telecom and voice equipment requiring modular jack connections
• Networking devices and patch panels with PCB-mounted connectors
• Control systems and industrial electronics with fixed board-mounted interfaces

Key specifications

• Connector type: modular socket, unshielded
• Contact configuration: 8 pairs (8/8)
• Mounting style: print/PCB mounting for soldered installation
• Contact interface: standard modular plug mating
• Typical use: fixed board-mounted modular connection for data and voice signals

How to use

Prepare the PCB footprint according to the manufacturer's recommended pad layout and ensure proper alignment during assembly. Place the socket on the board so that contact leads align with solder pads, then solder using appropriate reflow or wave soldering parameters for the socket's material and plating. After soldering, verify mechanical stability and electrical continuity between contacts and the mating modular plug to ensure correct operation.

Recommendations

Use the connector in environments where unshielded connections are acceptable; avoid installations with high electromagnetic interference without additional shielding measures. Follow standard ESD and soldering procedures, and verify compatibility with the chosen modular plug type and cable category for reliable signal transmission.
