Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5010-FS0088-001 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Termination Method: IDC
• Current Rating: 2 A
• Voltage Rating: 250V
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Housing Material: Polycarbonate (PC)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Shielding: Shielded or Unshielded (application-dependent)
• Length: Minor dimensional variance acceptable within connector family
• Product Status: Active status preferred for new procurement

The 5010-FU0088-005 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters. The primary difference is the removal of shielding and a slight reduction in overall length (0.891" vs. 0.990"), which represents a design evolution within the same connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5010-FU0088-005 is the active equivalent for the obsolete 5010-FS0088-001. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical ratings (2 A at 250V). The substitute part is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (1192 pcs vs. 871 pcs).

Selection between shielded (5010-FS0088-001) and unshielded (5010-FU0088-005) variants depends on electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements of the application. The shielded variant provides additional protection in high-noise environments, while the unshielded variant offers a compact form factor with a 0.099" (2.51mm) length reduction.

Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Rating 1, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5010-FU0088-005 directly replace the 5010-FS0088-001?

A: Yes, for applications where EMI shielding is not required. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2 A, 250V), contact materials (Copper Alloy with Gold finish), and termination method (IDC). The primary functional difference is the absence of shielding in the substitute part.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference between these parts?

A: The 5010-FU0088-001 is 0.099" (2.51mm) shorter than the main part. This dimensional reduction reflects a design optimization in the unshielded variant. Verify cable routing and connector clearance in your specific application before substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5010-FS0088-001 and 5010-FU0088-005 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What does IDC termination mean for these connectors?

A: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination allows direct connection to flat oval cable without stripping insulation. The connector pierces the cable insulation during insertion, establishing electrical contact with the conductor beneath.

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: The 5010-FS0088-001 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The 5010-FU0088-005 represents the current production alternative within the CNC Tech modular connector family.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage, handling, or use.
