Industrial-grade connectors tailored for SMT/SMD automated pick-and-place lines
The Greek industrial and commercial market is undergoing a structural digital transformation. Driven by the "Greece 2.0" National Recovery and Resilience Plan, telecommunications, energy distribution, and logistics sectors are experiencing massive upgrades. High-speed, high-density PCBs are replacing older technologies, making surface-mount components like SMT RJ45 Connectors the standardized interface for communication hardware.
From the smart port infrastructure in Piraeus to IoT-enabled grid tracking systems in Crete and automated packaging plants in Central Greece, modern hardware designs demand Ethernet connector modules that occupy minimal space. SMT RJ45 connectors solve this space constraint by eliminating the need for through-hole pins, allowing for double-sided PCB assembly and automated, high-precision picking and soldering. This increases throughput and ensures extreme mechanical stability under continuous operational stresses.
For Greek engineers and procurement teams, sourcing components that can survive harsh environmental stresses—such as coastal salt air, extreme summer temperatures, and electromagnetic noise—is paramount. Our range of shielded RJ45 modules with integrated magnetics meets these demanding requirements, helping Greek businesses future-proof their network hardware.
Solving challenges in coplanarity, reflow thermal profiles, and EMI suppression
Unlike through-hole connectors where solder pins extend through the board, SMT connectors rest entirely on surface pads. Coplanarity must be kept strictly at ≤ 0.1mm. High precision ensures all pins touch the solder paste simultaneously during reflow, preventing open circuits and dry joints.
Our housings are constructed from high-temperature liquid crystal polymer (LCP). They easily withstand lead-free reflow cycles with peak temperatures up to 260°C. This avoids melting, blistering, or warping, ensuring total structural integrity of the connector housing.
By housing the transformers, common-mode chokes, and capacitors directly in the RJ45 metal shield, magnetic coupling is isolated. This saves up to 50% PCB space, suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI), and improves Return Loss and Crosstalk margins.
Advanced configurations for power transmission and signaling
Empowering European partners with competitive prices and rapid R&D turnaround times
Fibronexa Communications Co., Ltd. is a leading optical transceiver and structural network connector manufacturer established in 2016. Specializing in high-speed optical module solutions and high-density connection interfaces, the factory handles both high-speed fiber solutions and specialized physical SMT interfaces like Magjacks and RJ45 modules.
Our manufacturing capacity is supported by an R&D workforce of over 85 engineers, continuously releasing over 120 new products yearly to adapt to changing telecommunication protocols. Quality is tightly controlled through a combination of automated optical testing systems and manual inspection processes, managed by 45 trained QC professionals.
With strategic upstream and downstream supply networks consisting of over 1,200 partners, we secure high-grade phosphor bronze, LCP housings, and specialized magnetic cores at lower costs. We transfer these cost savings directly to our partners in Athens, Thessaloniki, and across Europe.

How our connectors resolve real-world deployment challenges across Greek networks
Marine logistics hubs suffer from extreme environmental stress: salt-air corrosion, mechanical shocks from heavy cranes, and EMI from close-range ship radars. To maintain uninterrupted data links from RFID tracking cameras to central servers, Greek marine electronics manufacturers deploy our shielded, gold-plated SMT RJ45 connectors with specialized ground tabs. This ensures proper discharge of static and preserves high-speed communication under heavy EMI.
For the nationwide smart meter upgrade, HEDNO (Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator) uses localized data concentrators in mountainous and island terrains. These PCBs face extreme summer heat, requiring communication components that maintain mechanical dimensions. Our LCP plastic bases prevent warping at continuous high temperatures, while the integrated Magjack filters voltage spikes on the communication line.
Mitigating supply chain risks for hassle-free European imports
We offer FOB Shenzhen, CIF Piraeus Port, and DDP Athens shipping options. By taking care of customs clearance and European import duties, we save procurement teams from dealing with administrative logistics issues.
Every SMT RJ45 connector order undergoes a complete series of checks. This includes pin coplanarity tests, Hi-Pot isolation testing, and solderability tests prior to shipment.
All materials used in our SMT connectors are RoHS compliant, REACH certified, and UL recognized. This ensures straightforward integration into devices bound for Western and Southern European markets.

Technical answers for design engineers and purchasing managers in Greece
SMT (Surface Mount Technology) RJ45 connectors sit on the surface of the PCB, removing the need for drilled holes. This design feature enables:
1. Double-sided PCB layout: You can mount components directly underneath the connector, saving up to 40% board space.
2. Automated assembly: SMT connectors are designed for pick-and-place nozzle pickup, which speeds up assembly and reduces production costs.
3. Higher trace routing density: Without through-hole pins blocking internal PCB layers, routing high-speed signal traces becomes much easier.
We maintain strict coplanarity control of ≤ 0.1mm by:
1. Utilizing custom high-precision terminal bending molds.
2. Implementing automated 3D optical measurements during inspections.
3. Packaging all SMT components in thermoformed tape-and-reel or hard plastic trays, shielding the contacts from bending during transport to Greek facilities.
Yes. Our connectors use high-temperature Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) or PA9T thermoplastic housings. They are rated for lead-free reflow soldering profiles with peak temperatures of 260°C for up to 10 seconds, meeting IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.
Yes, we have models designed to support IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) standards. These connectors use thicker internal copper wire and contacts designed to handle up to 90W of continuous power without causing thermal damage to the PCB.
We supply complete documentation for imports into the European Union. This includes CE declarations of conformity, RoHS testing reports, REACH chemical compliance lists, and UL material safety certifications. Customs clearance typically uses TARIC code 85366990.
