RJ11 6-Pin Connector from Circuitrocks is ideal for DIY electronics builds.
Great for Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and robotics or school projects here in the Philippines.
RJ11 6-Pin Connector (6P6C) — Clear Modular Plug for Flat Cable
Durable, clear RJ11 6-pin (6P6C) modular plug for making custom telephone, intercom, keypad, and low-voltage data leads. Gold-plated contacts and a reliable crimp make it a solid choice for labs, classrooms, and field maintenance.
6P6C • Flat cable • Gold-plated contacts • Crimp-style
Why you’ll like it
Typical uses
- Telephone handsets & base cords (6-conductor)
- Intercoms, PBX accessories, keypads, DIY controllers
- Low-speed serial or sensor buses over flat cable
Technical specifications
| Connector type | RJ-style modular plug, 6P6C (often sold as “RJ11 6-pin”; also compatible where “RJ12 6P6C” is required) |
|---|---|
| Contacts | 6 positions, 6 loaded • gold-plated |
| Cable style | Flat ribbon telephone cable (stranded recommended for patch/handset leads) |
| Conductor size | Typical 26–28 AWG stranded (verify fit with your crimper’s die) |
| Latch | Integral plastic latch, standard height |
| Housing | Transparent polycarbonate |
| Termination | Crimp with 6P tool (see Compatible Tools) |
Note: Many telecom cables use 6P2C or 6P4C. This plug is 6P6C (all six contacts populated).
Compatible tools & helpful add-ons
- RJ crimping tool with 6P die (often labeled 6P for RJ11/12)
- Flat telephone cable (26–28 AWG stranded)
- Cable stripper & continuity tester
- Cable glands/boots for strain relief
Quick wiring tips
- Use the correct die: 6P for this plug (not 8P/RJ45).
- For handset/phone wiring, many systems follow USOC color order on flat silver satin cable; keep the same orientation on both ends.
- Ensure conductors reach the end of the plug before crimping; you should see copper through the front.
- Stranded cable is best for patch/handset; solid core is more common in fixed runs (use solid-rated plugs if applicable).

FAQ
Is this RJ11 or RJ12?
It’s a 6P6C plug. Many shops call 6-pin plugs “RJ11,” while telecoms often call 6P6C “RJ12.” Functionally, it’s the 6-position plug with all six contacts installed.
Will this fit round cable?
It’s designed for flat telephone cable. For round cable, use a round-cable 6P6C plug or add a proper strain relief/boot.
