Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 1-5406552-1 (Obsolete)

The original part is classified as obsolete and carries ROHS3 compliance. While current inventory exists, this product status indicates discontinued manufacturing and limited long-term availability.

Amphenol ICC RJHSE-5381-04 (Active Substitute)

The RJHSE-5381-04 is an active product with superior inventory availability (3404 units versus 970 units). This connector maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part across all critical parameters. The substitute features an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C), providing enhanced thermal performance. The RJHSE-5381-04 carries RoHS compliance certification and shares identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The primary design difference is the substitution of a board lock feature for the original board guide feature, which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit in standard through-hole PCB applications.

For new designs and ongoing production, the Amphenol ICC RJHSE-5381-04 is the appropriate selection due to active manufacturing status and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC RJHSE-5381-04 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-5406552-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pinout, contact configuration, mounting footprint, and electrical specifications. The 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and shielded EMI finger design are identical. The board lock feature on the substitute provides equivalent mechanical retention to the original board guide feature.

Q: What is the difference between the board guide and board lock features?

A: Both features provide mechanical retention on the PCB. The board guide on the original part and the board lock on the substitute serve the same functional purpose of preventing connector displacement during assembly and operation. This difference does not affect electrical performance or standard PCB mounting compatibility.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences between these connectors?

A: The Amphenol ICC RJHSE-5381-04 operates across -55°C to 85°C, while the TE Connectivity 1-5406552-1 operates across -40°C to 85°C. The substitute provides an extended lower temperature range, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced cold-temperature performance.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both connectors carry RoHS compliance (ROHS3 for the original, RoHS for the substitute), share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Both are REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-5406552-1 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The Amphenol ICC RJHSE-5381-04 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department if specific packaging is mandated for your application.

Q: Is the Cat5 rating maintained with the substitute?

A: The original TE Connectivity 1-5406552-1 carries an explicit Cat5 rating. The Amphenol ICC RJHSE-5381-04 does not list a specific category rating in the provided data. Verify Cat5 compliance with the manufacturer if category certification is a requirement for your application.
