Bel's Integrated Magnetics/Connector Modules Now Available in SMT Package.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers JERSEY CITY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 20, 2000 Bel Fuse Inc. ("Bel") announced the addition of the first surface mount products to its belMag(TM) family of shielded RJ-45 connector modules with integrated magnetics for 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet applications. The belMag family is engineered from the ground up to optimize performance of the magnetics, and complies with IEEE 802.3u (networking, standard) IEEE 802.3u - The IEEE committee working on standards for Fast Ethernet. standards. Interfacing with a broad spectrum of LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. transceivers, both the new SMT (1) (Surface Mount Technology) See surface mount. (2) (Station ManagemenT) An FDDI network management protocol that provides direct management. Only one node requires the software. SMT - Station Management version and through-hole belMag connectors have satisfied the exacting requirements of Contech Research, an independent evaluation firm specializing in connector assessment. Boasting the industry's utmost in electrical performance characteristics as well as space-saving design, the SMT belMag features a low profile height of 0.502 inches and footprint of only 0.670 inches. It is available in two pinout options (S811-1X1T-03 and -04) to further provide maximum design flexibility. As this new single-port jack is engineered for manufacture, it is compatible with standard pick-and-place machines to foster EOEMs' profitability and throughput objectives. Ideal for use in a wide range of 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet networking applications such as adapter cards, hubs, concentrators, motherboards, bridges, routers and point-to-point links, the belMag family consists of modules in three configurations: only LAN magnetics (isolation transformers and common mode chokes); magnetics and a 2 kV capacitor; and magnetics, capacitor and termination resistors. EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. (electromechanical The use of electricity to run moving parts. Disk drives, printers and motors are examples. Electromechanical systems must be designed for the eventual deterioration of moving components that wear over time. The first TVs were electromechanical systems (see video/TV history). interference) and near field noise coupling is dramatically reduced as the traces between the RJ-45 connector and LAN transceiver are minimized by integrating the magnetics into the module's low profile, small footprint package. Moreover, component's in-line pin arrangements serve to reduce crosstalk and optimize PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl.

The belMag features an operating temperature of 0 degrees to 70 degrees C, and a minimum interwinding breakdown voltage of 1500 Vrms. Prices for the SMT belMag are $2.75 ea./10K. Delivery is 6 to 8 weeks. An industry leader in the design, engineering and manufacturing of magnetics, fuses, delay lines and thick film hybrids, Bel produces quality electronic components for the global market. Bel's products are widely specified for use in telecommunication and data communication (LAN/WAN LAN/WAN Local Area Network/Wide Area Network ) networks, computer and power supply applications, audio/visual equipment, consumer electronics, and home appliances worldwide. Testifying to Bel's commitment to quality, all components are manufactured in ISO (1) See ISO speed.
