Modular Socket 6/6 ShiverPeaks Unshielded for Print Mounting - ShiverPeaks 79216

The ShiverPeaks Modular Socket 6/6 Unshielded for Print Mounting is a board-level connector designed to provide six positions with six contacts in an unshielded form factor. Intended for PCB mounting, the connector offers compact modular connectivity where shielding is not required, making it suitable for low‑interference environments and space-constrained assemblies. The connector is compatible with standard modular plugs of the corresponding 6/6 format and is intended for use in telecommunication panels, instrumentation, and embedded devices requiring reliable printed-circuit connectivity.

Advantages

This unshielded modular socket delivers a compact footprint for direct PCB mounting while maintaining a straightforward contact arrangement for six conductors. Its unshielded design reduces component size and cost where electromagnetic compatibility demands are minimal. The connector is optimized for board-level integration, allowing reliable mating with matching modular plugs and straightforward soldering to printed circuit boards.

Suitable for

• Telecommunication patch panels and distribution modules
• Measurement instruments and test equipment
• Embedded systems and industrial control boards
• Compact consumer electronics with low EMI requirements

Key specifications

• Configuration: 6 positions, 6 contacts (6/6)
• Mounting type: PCB / print mounting
• Shielding: unshielded form factor
• Contact interface: modular plug compatible (6/6)
• Typical applications: telecommunication, instrumentation, embedded devices

How to use

Install the modular socket by aligning the component with the PCB footprint and soldering the through-hole or surface-mount pins according to the board design. Ensure correct orientation so that the mating face is accessible for the modular plug. After soldering, visually inspect solder joints and test continuity between each contact and its PCB trace. Mating and unmating should be performed with straight insertion and removal to avoid lateral stress on solder joints.

Usage recommendations

Use this unshielded 6/6 socket in environments with limited electromagnetic interference and where a compact board footprint is required. If applications are exposed to higher EMI or require improved noise immunity, consider a shielded alternative or additional board-level filtering. Follow standard PCB assembly and handling practices to ensure reliable solder joints and contact performance.
