Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Molex 0432498926 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector type: 8P8C jack modular (RJ45 Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° right-angle
• Mounting: Through-hole solder termination
• Shielding configuration: Shielded or unshielded variants

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Contact material and finish (phosphor bronze with gold plating)
• Housing material composition
• Operating temperature range
• RoHS and environmental compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: shielded variants (direct functional equivalents) and unshielded variants (compatible for applications where EMI shielding is not required). All listed substitutes maintain the same 8P8C jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole mounting, and solder termination as the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Shielded Equivalent (Recommended Primary Substitute): Molex 0432028924 is the manufacturer-recommended direct equivalent. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete 0432498926, including shielded EMI finger design, Cat4 rating, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The 0432028924 is currently in active production with 4086 units in stock.

For Shielded Alternatives (Amphenol ICC FRJAE Series): The FRJAE-438, FRJAE-468, FRJAE-488, and FRJAE-418 provide shielded 8P8C jack connectors with identical 90° right-angle orientation and through-hole solder termination. These parts extend the operating temperature range to -55°C to 85°C and are RoHS compliant. FRJAE-468 includes integrated filter functionality. All FRJAE variants are in active production with adequate inventory.

For Unshielded Applications: When EMI shielding is not required, the TE Connectivity 6116518-1 offers the closest match with identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and gold contact finish thickness (50.0µin). The Amphenol ICC 95679-001LF and Amphenol CONEC 33TS3010NF-88B are unshielded alternatives with active product status and adequate inventory, though operating temperature specifications are not provided for these variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use an unshielded connector as a substitute for the shielded Molex 0432498926? A: Unshielded connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible in terms of pin configuration and mounting. However, they lack EMI shielding. Use unshielded variants only if your application does not require electromagnetic interference protection. If EMI performance is critical to your design, select a shielded substitute.

Q: What is the difference between the Molex 0432028924 and the original 0432498926? A: The 0432028924 is the active production equivalent. Both parts share identical specifications: shielded EMI finger design, Cat4 rating, 8P8C jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature. The primary difference is product status: the original is obsolete while the 0432028924 is in active production.

Q: Are FRJAE series connectors fully compatible with the original part? A: FRJAE-438, FRJAE-468, FRJAE-488, and FRJAE-418 are mechanically and electrically compatible. All maintain the 8P8C jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, shielded design, and through-hole solder termination. The FRJAE series extends the operating temperature range to -55°C to 85°C. Verify that your application can accommodate the extended temperature capability or that it does not conflict with your design requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes? A: Molex 0432028924 is supplied in trays. FRJAE series parts (FRJAE-438, FRJAE-468, FRJAE-488, FRJAE-418) are supplied in trays. TE Connectivity 6116518-1 is supplied in trays. Amphenol ICC 95679-001LF is supplied in tubes. Amphenol CONEC 33TS3010NF-88B is supplied in boxes. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Do all substitutes meet RoHS compliance? A: Yes. The Molex 0432028924 is ROHS3 compliant. All FRJAE variants, TE Connectivity 6116518-1, and Amphenol ICC 95679-001LF are RoHS compliant. Amphenol CONEC 33TS3010NF-88B is ROHS3 compliant. All listed substitutes meet RoHS environmental requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors? A: All listed parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements during storage and handling.
