Technical change to OMNIMATE Data RJ45 jacks,  
tinned shield solder pins 
Dear Madam or Sir, 
the below listed articles will be supplied in a modified revision. Please pass this product information on to your 
employees and, if needed, to your customers. All modifications are performed for reasons of product 
improvements. 
1.  Initial situation

Old version 
New version 
3.  Reason for change 
The metal shields of RJ45 jacks are usually nickel-plated. Base material: Copper alloy and surface 
material: 0.76-2.03μm nickel. 
- Properties of nickel surface: Resistant against moisture, oxygen and weak acids. Largely insensitive to 
fingerprints. 
50% - 70% of the shield solder pin of shielded RJ45 jacks (OMNIMATE® Data) for the wave / reflow 
soldering process (THT / THR) will be selectively dip-tinned in the manufacturing process. 
50% - 70% des Schirm-Lötstiftes geschirmten RJ45 Buchsen (OMNIMATE® Data) für den Wellen- / 
Reflowlötprozess (THT/THR) werden im Fertigungsprozess selektiv tauchverzinnt. 
Due to the tinned surface, a better wetting property will be achieved in the soldering area, which leads to 
an optimal soldering result, even at a lower limit temperature. However, the above-mentioned properties 
for the remaining metal shield surface are completely unchanged.
