Step 4 Drill Holes For The 8P8C Female Port

To mount the 8P8C Ethernet Female port onto the circuit board you will have to create three holes. Securely clamp the circuit board. Line up the 8P8C Female port with the circuit board so that the pegs of the Female port are close to the edge. Make two small guide hole in the circuit board using a hand drill. The center of the holes should coincide with the center of the plastic plugs of the 8P8C Female port when properly lined up. Increase the hole diameter incrementally until the holes fits the plugs. Test your holes by plugging in the 8P8C Female port.

Next make a third hole whose center coincide with the center of the rows of pins of the 8P8C. Increase the diameter of the hole until the two rows of the pins of the 8P8C could fit the hole without touching the sides of the circuit board. Then using a Dremel Rotary Tool grind the sides of the hole until all of the pins of the Ethernet Female port pins fit without touching the circuit board.
