RJ45 CONNECTOR

The RJ45 connector is for connecting the boards directly using a standard RJ45 cable. A standard RJ45 cable has straight through wiring.  That means that Pin1 = Pin1, etc…

 

This Connector is been provided in many of our boards and soon we will have breakout boards that will come with this connectors.  This is to ease the installation process by eliminating the screw on terminals.  The RJ45 connectors are used not just to carry the I/O signals, but also to power the external board.  That way you will have it all in one connection.

 

The main I/O is carried in pin5 of the RJ45 connector.  In some boards pins 2 to 5 are used for special wiring.  This pin assignment will be stated in the board’s manual.

 

The type of connection is +5vdc open collector with a pull-down resistor.  Just as the standard connection we use in all our breakout boards.
