Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1653087 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Count: Must be 8p8c (RJ45) jack configuration
• Orientation: Must maintain 90° right-angle mounting
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination required
• Shielding Requirement: Shielded configuration with EMI protection
• Electrical Rating: Cat3 or higher performance rating acceptable
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status required
• MSL Rating: Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity

The substitute parts listed below meet these core substitution criteria while maintaining functional equivalence for standard Ethernet jack applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 5558310-1 is the primary equivalent substitute for the Phoenix Contact 1653087. Both parts share identical mechanical form factor (90° right-angle through-hole solder termination), shielded configuration, and full ROHS3 compliance. The 5558310-1 features an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -25°C to 80°C) and includes board guide and keyed features. The Cat3 electrical rating is suitable for standard Ethernet applications where Cat6 performance is not explicitly required. This part maintains functional equivalence with superior thermal performance margins.

TE Connectivity 5520426-4 is an alternative substitute only for applications where unshielded configuration is acceptable. This part shares the same 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination and extended operating temperature range but lacks EMI shielding. Selection of this part requires confirmation that electromagnetic interference protection is not a design requirement.

Würth Elektronik 7499010122 is a functional alternative for 10/100 Base-T Ethernet applications with integrated LED indicators (Yellow-Green). This part differs in orientation (vertical versus 90° right-angle) and includes AutoMDIX functionality. Selection requires mechanical layout compatibility with vertical mounting and acceptance of integrated LED features.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status consistent with the original Phoenix Contact 1653087.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 5558310-1 be used as a direct replacement for Phoenix Contact 1653087?

A: Yes. Both parts are 8p8c (RJ45) jack connectors with 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination and shielded configuration. The 5558310-1 meets all core substitution criteria and provides extended operating temperature range. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the key difference between TE Connectivity 5558310-1 and 5520426-4?

A: The primary difference is shielding. The 5558310-1 is shielded (equivalent to the Phoenix Contact 1653087), while the 5520426-4 is unshielded. The 5520426-4 is suitable only for applications where EMI protection is not required. Both share identical 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination.

Q: Why is the Würth Elektronik 7499010122 listed as a substitute if it has vertical orientation?

A: The Würth Elektronik part is functionally equivalent for 10/100 Base-T Ethernet applications but differs in mechanical orientation (vertical versus 90° right-angle). This part is suitable only when vertical PCB mounting is compatible with the application design. Integrated LED indicators and AutoMDIX functionality are additional features not present in the original part.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (5558310-1, 5520426-4, and 7499010122) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the Phoenix Contact 1653087.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1653087 operates from -25°C to 80°C. The TE Connectivity substitutes (5558310-1 and 5520426-4) operate from -40°C to 85°C, providing extended thermal range. The Würth Elektronik 7499010122 operates from 0°C to 70°C, which is more limited.

Q: Can I use the unshielded TE Connectivity 5520426-4 in place of the shielded Phoenix Contact 1653087?

A: Only if your application does not require EMI shielding. The 5520426-4 lacks the EMI finger shielding present in the original part. Verify that electromagnetic interference protection is not a design requirement before substitution.

Q: What packaging format are the substitute parts supplied in?

A: TE Connectivity parts (5558310-1 and 5520426-4) are supplied in Tray packaging. The Würth Elektronik 7499010122 is also supplied in Tray packaging. The original Phoenix Contact 1653087 is supplied in Bulk packaging.
