Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 2362760-1 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 2008614-1 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status with TE Connectivity, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and supply chain stability. The main part's obsolete classification creates long-term sourcing risk.

Compliance and Certification: Both components maintain equivalent regulatory compliance. The substitute part carries RoHS compliance certification and REACH affected status, meeting current environmental and safety standards. Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications.

Functional Equivalence: The substitute part preserves all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet configuration, Cat5e performance rating, IP67 ingress protection, IDC termination, shielded design, and circular bayonet coupling. Physical dimensions remain equivalent (59.0mm vs. 58.90mm).

Enhanced Specifications: The substitute part provides documented electrical ratings (1.2 A current, 100V voltage) and specified contact finish thickness (50.0µin), offering improved technical documentation. The polycarbonate housing material and support for both solid and stranded wire types provide expanded application flexibility.

Moisture Sensitivity: Both components maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2362760-1 directly replace the 2008614-1 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), termination method (IDC), shielding, Cat5e rating, IP67 protection, and coupling mechanism. Physical dimensions are equivalent (59.0mm). The substitute part supports both solid and stranded wire types, providing equal or greater compatibility.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 2008614-1 is classified as obsolete. The 2362760-1 is an active product with ongoing manufacturing support, ensuring reliable long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both components meet current regulatory requirements. The substitute part carries RoHS compliance and REACH affected status. Both share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.
