TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2008611-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2008611-1 is a modular connector plug designed for 8-position 8-contact (8p8c) RJ45 Ethernet applications. This unshielded Cat5e connector features IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with circular bayonet coupling and IP67 ingress protection. The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain supply chain continuity and ensure long-term component availability for new designs and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2008611-1 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent across equivalent parts:

Core Functional Parameters:

• Connector type: Plug configuration
• Contact count: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) standard
• Termination method: IDC technology
• Coupling mechanism: Circular bayonet coupling
• Environmental rating: IP67 ingress protection
• Category rating: Cat5e performance level
• Contact material and finish: Phosphor bronze with gold plating

Allowable Variations:

• Shielding configuration (unshielded to shielded upgrade permitted)
• Cable type compatibility (stranded to solid or stranded wires)
• Housing material and color
• Voltage and current ratings (when specified)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS status evolution)

The substitute part 2362760-1 maintains all core functional parameters while providing enhanced shielding and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2362760-1

The 2362760-1 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 2008611-1. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The 2362760-1 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and compliance with current regulatory requirements. The 2008611-1 obsolete status creates supply chain risk for new production and field service applications.

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors maintain identical core specifications: 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet plug configuration, IDC termination, circular bayonet coupling, Cat5e rating, and IP67 environmental protection. Contact material (phosphor bronze) and finish (gold) are identical.

Compliance Enhancement: The 2362760-1 carries current RoHS compliance certification and REACH affected status, meeting modern regulatory frameworks. The 2008611-1 ROHS3 compliance, while acceptable, reflects legacy certification standards.

Shielding Upgrade: The 2362760-1 provides shielded construction compared to the unshielded 2008611-1. This represents an enhancement for electromagnetic interference (EMI) mitigation in environments where such protection is beneficial. Shielded connectors are backward compatible with unshielded applications.

Cable Compatibility: The 2362760-1 accepts both solid and stranded wire configurations, providing greater flexibility than the 2008611-1 stranded-wire specification. This expanded compatibility supports diverse cable assembly requirements.

Electrical Ratings: The 2362760-1 specifies 100V voltage rating and 1.2 A current rating, providing defined electrical performance parameters absent from the 2008611-1 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2362760-1 directly replace the 2008611-1 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type (plug), contact count (8p8c RJ45), termination method (IDC), coupling mechanism (circular bayonet), environmental rating (IP67), and category rating (Cat5e). The 2362760-1 shielded design is compatible with unshielded applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The 2362760-1 provides shielded construction with defined electrical ratings (100V, 1.2 A), while the 2008611-1 is unshielded without specified electrical ratings. The 2362760-1 also accepts both solid and stranded wires, compared to stranded-only for the 2008611-1.

Q: Why is the 2008611-1 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 2362760-1 active status ensures ongoing manufacturing support, regulatory compliance, and supply chain availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 2008611-1 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 2362760-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Does the shielded design of the 2362760-1 affect mechanical compatibility?

A: No. Both connectors maintain identical physical dimensions (approximately 59mm length), circular bayonet coupling, and 8p8c contact configuration. Mechanical compatibility is preserved.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 2362760-1?

A: The 2362760-1 carries RoHS compliance certification and REACH affected status, meeting current environmental and chemical safety regulations. ECCN classification is EAR99 for both parts.

Q: Can the 2362760-1 be used with stranded wire cables?

A: Yes. The 2362760-1 accepts both solid and stranded wire configurations, providing compatibility with the stranded-wire cables specified for the 2008611-1.
