The Pan Pacific Top Entry, Shielded category narrows the PCB Mount Modular Jacks family to a specific structured voice/data connectivity format, helping match the mechanical interface before choosing a part number. Examples currently represented in Wallco's Pan Pacific catalog include PTS-J259-8CS-50UL (PTS-J259-8CS-50UL Shielded Straight Pcb Mt. Mod Jack 8P8C).
For this Pan Pacific category, verify category/performance rating, conductor type, shielding, wiring scheme, connector or jack format, termination method, port count and rack/wall mounting. Those attributes determine mating compatibility and whether the part is appropriate for the intended equipment or cabling system.
The catalog path is Pan Pacific > Connectors & Components > PCB Mount Modular Jacks > Top Entry, Shielded. Keeping the manufacturer family, parent interface and exact subcategory together is useful for distinguishing parts that share a similar appearance but use different termination, wiring, impedance, contact or mounting details.
Start with the existing Pan Pacific part number when replacing a component. If it is unavailable, document the mating equipment and the key attributes for top entry, shielded: category/performance rating, conductor type, shielding, wiring scheme, connector or jack format, termination method, port count and rack/wall mounting.
Wallco currently has 1 active Pan Pacific product assigned to this category in the latest catalog export. The category is intended to narrow the choice; final compatibility should be confirmed at the individual part level.
Do not assume that two products in the top entry, shielded family are interchangeable solely because they share a connector family. Pinout, impedance, shielding, termination, shell size, wiring standard or signal direction may differ depending on the interface.
Compare category/performance rating, conductor type, shielding, wiring scheme, connector or jack format, termination method, port count and rack/wall mounting.
Match the complete Pan Pacific part number first. If cross-referencing, compare the mating interface, mechanical format, termination/wiring and electrical or signal requirements before substituting another model.
