Modular Connector ShiverPeaks 79214 4/4 Print Mounting Unshielded

The ShiverPeaks Modular Connector 4/4 for print mounting is an unshielded 4-position modular jack engineered for compact PCB integration. Designed to provide a reliable interface for modular cables, this connector is intended for applications where an unshielded jack is appropriate and electromagnetic interference is minimal. The connector’s form factor supports tidy board-level connections in telecommunications equipment, instrumentation, and small patching assemblies.

Advantages

This unshielded modular connector offers a compact footprint for space-constrained circuit boards and straightforward through-hole or surface-mount integration depending on board design. Its 4-position contact array is optimized for low-complexity wiring and reliable signal transmission in low-noise environments. The design simplifies assembly and allows consistent mating with standard modular plugs, reducing mechanical stress on solder joints and traces.

Suitable for

• Board-level interfaces for telephony and low-speed data
• Patch panels and small distribution frames in controlled EMI environments
• Embedded devices and instrumentation requiring a compact modular jack
• Prototypes and low-volume production where a standard 4/4 jack is needed

Key specifications

• Configuration: 4-position modular contact layout
• Shielding: unshielded design suited for low-interference environments
• Mounting type: designed for print/PCB mounting
• Contact interface: compatible with standard 4-position modular plugs
• Physical footprint: compact, board-optimized connector body

How to use

Install the connector into the printed circuit board at the intended mounting location following the board maker’s recommended footprint and soldering profile. Ensure correct orientation and secure mechanical support if the connector will undergo repeated mating cycles. Use appropriate soldering techniques and reflow or wave profiles compatible with PCB components. After assembly, verify continuity between connector contacts and corresponding board traces and test mating with a known-good modular plug to confirm mechanical and electrical fit.

Recommendations

Use this unshielded 4/4 modular connector in installations where electromagnetic interference is low or controlled. For environments with higher EMI or where grounding and shielding are required, select a shielded alternative. Avoid excessive mechanical stress on the connector during repeated plugging operations and verify that cable strain relief is provided at the assembly level.
