Network Ready Press Fit ICM Connector with Eye of the Needle Design and LED Options Bel Fuse 1840572-6

Product Overview

Bel Magnetic Solutions' Press-Fit ICMs are engineered for applications and processing environments requiring a connector that can be pressed onto the PCBA, bypassing traditional soldering methods. As the number of internet-connected devices grows, so does the demand for non-traditional applications where standard soldered connectors are unsuitable. These press-fit ICM connectors are designed to meet this need, often used alongside other press-fit I/O connectors. They are also ideal for applications with thicker PCBA layers where standard solder lead lengths are insufficient, as they are not biased to board thickness and require a minimum thickness of 0.080in (2.03mm) with no maximum limit. These ICMs are compatible with all major Ethernet PHYs and offer a robust eye-of-the-needle design for reliable network interface configurations.
