Ethernet pin-out recommendations for TE Connectivity’s Industrial Mini I/O Connectors
First introduced in 2012, TE’s Industrial Mini I/O connectors are only one-quarter the size of the conventional RJ45 plug, giving design engineers the flexibility to use limited space on the PCB more effectively. Designed with two points of contact, this connector is built for the stringent demands of an industrial and high-vibration environment, enabling increased productivity through a more reliable connection.
The connectors feature a unique locking system with 100N of pull force prevents accidental unplugging of a network connection due to shock, vibration or pulling on cords. The connectors also feature an innovative piercing termination, easing their field-installation in virtually any environment.
TE’s Industrial Mini I/O connector has two interface types (I and II). Both are standardized by IEC/PAS 61076-3-122 and help prevent cases of accidental mis-wiring. The connectors also support both 4-and 8-wire Industrial Ethernet at 10/100Mbps and 1Gbps. TE recommends the pin-out below (for 4- and 8-wire Ethernet) for both Type I and Type II Industrial Mini I/O connectors.
