RJ45 Breakout - Horizontal

This is our ultra-compact horizontal RJ45 breakout, designed to allow you to use the eight lines within standard Ethernet cables for your projects, with the flexibility to solder wires, headers and more, alongside M2.5 mounting options and underside soldering pads! Each pin from the RJ45 connector is broken out to clearly labelled 2.54mm-spaced pads. You can solder whatever you like to these, such as the included 8-pin 2.54mm header strip (great for breadboard usage), some prototyping wire, or even an 8-way 2.54mm terminal block. If you're soldering wires, consider using the underside solder pads. We added these because we know just how tricky it is to de-solder and re-solder a wire from a pad hole. With the underside pads, it's much, much easier to re-work and re-use. We also used M2.5 mounting holes as they're a popular size with easy-to-source fixings. Key Features
