Select high-performance network ports engineered for maximum mechanical anchoring and superior signal integrity.
Wenzhou Stpete Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specialized in the R&D, high-precision tooling, vertical manufacturing, and global distribution of premier electronic connectors. Founded in 2005, Stpete has cultivated a stellar reputation across both domestic and international markets, backed by a persistent focus on quality control, rapid customer response, and tailored engineering services.
Our expansive production capabilities allow us to design and manufacture advanced components, including IF Radio-Frequency terminals, FCB network jacks, DC power outlets, USB sockets, AV pin jack boards, and high-performance radiators. Collaborating with tier-one global telecom giants such as Huawei and Hisense, we have proven our capabilities to deliver hardware that meets the absolute highest demands of enterprise networks and consumer electronics.
Why THT remains the industry benchmark for high-stress, high-integrity Ethernet connections.
In high-reliability system engineering, the choice of connector mounting technology determines the longevity and performance of the device. While Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has gained popularity for space-constrained low-profile consumer goods, Through-Hole Technology (THT) remains the absolute industry gold standard for rugged, mission-critical physical layer interfaces. Through-hole RJ45 connectors feature lead pins that penetrate deep into pre-drilled printed circuit board (PCB) vias, which are then soldered to pads on the opposite side. This mechanical architecture creates a robust anchor that resists the severe shear forces, mating stresses, and structural strain that network ports face in real-world deployments.
THT contacts absorb insertion, extraction, and bending forces directly through the PCB substrate rather than relying purely on surface-level solder joints. This prevents pad-lifting and mechanical failure over thousands of mating cycles.
Our connectors utilize full-metal brass shields with nickel or tin plating. Integrated grounding tabs connect the chassis shield directly to the PCB ground plane through dedicated through-hole grounding pins, minimizing electromagnetic interference.
Featuring high-grade phosphor bronze contacts finished with selective gold plating (up to 50 micro-inches), our ports ensure minimal contact resistance and prevent oxidation, sustaining Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet speeds without packet loss.
For modern mixed-assembly production lines, Stpete offers Through-Hole Reflow (THR) compatible RJ45 connectors. Utilizing high-temperature liquid crystal polymer (LCP) plastics, these connectors survive temperatures up to 260°C. Engineers can apply solder paste over the PCB vias, insert our through-hole RJ45 pins, and run the assembly through a standard SMT reflow oven. This hybrid approach combines the massive mechanical anchoring of through-hole terminals with the low labor costs and rapid throughput of fully automated surface-mount assembly lines.
Our through-hole RJ45 connectors are designed and verified for deployment across diverse industrial, commercial, and extreme environment topologies:
How Wenzhou's industrial cluster allows Stpete to deliver superior cost-efficiency and supply guarantee.
Wenzhou stands as a global hub for electrical and electronic component manufacturing. Being embedded in this rich industrial ecosystem gives Wenzhou Stpete Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. unparalleled access to high-grade raw materials, specialized chemical processors, and highly skilled engineering talent. This geographic advantage translates into direct benefits for our global clientele:
Over 30 technical R&D personnel, an annual R&D investment exceeding 15 million RMB, and holding 21+ R&D patents to drive connector innovation.
Equipped with state-of-the-art insert molding machines, high-speed terminal stamping, and full-automated assembly lines ensuring high reliability and volume scalability.
Every component, from material sourcing to production lines and packaging, undergoes multi-stage inspections using optical measurement systems and electrical testers.
Accelerating connectivity speeds and power-carrying capabilities for tomorrow's networks.
As internet bandwidth requirements move past Gigabit standards, network physical layer interfaces must advance accordingly. Stpete is actively pushing the boundaries of RJ45 engineering, directing our technical roadmap toward several key initiatives:
Developing optimized internal contact routing and advanced shield geometries to support frequencies up to 500 MHz (Cat6A) and 2000 MHz (Cat8), paving the way for reliable 10G and 40G Base-T Ethernet links over copper cabling.
Optimizing our physical contact designs to carry up to 90W/100W of electrical power (IEEE 802.3bt Type 4) without dangerous temperature increases. Special alloy coatings prevent electrical arcing during under-load disconnect cycles.
Quality and stability are central to our operations. Our testing laboratory is equipped with network analyzers, salt spray chambers, insulation resistance testers, and mechanical lifetime cycles to guarantee that every batch matches our customers' performance requirements.
Our manufacturing and processing facilities are fully certified and operating in compliance with global frameworks:
At Stpete, we believe that manufacturing reliability begins with a cohesive and well-supported workforce. Every employee is treated with dignity, and we actively invest in continuing education, technical certifications, and safe, modern working conditions.
To foster team collaboration and communication outside the office environment, we regularly organize activities such as outdoor team-building events. These events are designed to strengthen interpersonal bonds, promote mutual trust, and encourage teamwork through challenging exercises. This supportive atmosphere helps reduce work-related stress, boosts workplace motivation, and translates directly into the careful craftsmanship and quality of our products.

The main difference lies in mechanical durability and assembly. THT connectors feature terminal pins that pass through the PCB vias and are soldered from the opposite side, offering maximum shear resistance and anchoring strength. SMT connectors are soldered directly onto the PCB surface pads. THT is preferred for industrial infrastructure, test equipment, and heavy-use ethernet ports, while SMT is optimized for space-limited consumer hardware.
Yes, our complete product family supports standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af), PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), and we offer specialized designs optimized for PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) which support up to 90W-100W of power. These versions feature heavy-gauge copper alloy pins and high-temperature LCP housings to handle the thermal load without compromising signal integrity.
We offer both unshielded and fully shielded RJ45 configurations. Our shielded connectors utilize brass housings plated with nickel or tin. They feature multi-point grounding tabs (shield-to-chassis and shield-to-PCB ground pins) to form a Faraday cage, shielding data signals from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
