TE Connectivity 5406562-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 5406562-1 is a modular jack connector with 8 positions and 8 contacts (RJ45/Ethernet configuration) in a 90° right-angle shielded design. This connector is rated for Cat4 performance and features through-hole solder termination with EMI finger shielding. The part is currently in active production status with 716 units available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part's specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where the connector serves the same role within system constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 5406562-1 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: Jack configuration
• Contact Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45/Ethernet) standard
• Orientation: 90° right-angle mounting
• Termination Method: Solder attachment
• Shielding: Electromagnetic interference protection
• Mounting: Through-hole PCB integration
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 85°C range compatibility
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS and MSL ratings

Substitute Part 1688599 (Phoenix Contact) qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical connector type (Jack), contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), orientation (90° right-angle), termination method (solder), shielding (shielded), mounting type (through-hole), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). This part is rated for Cat5e performance, which exceeds the Cat4 specification of the main part. However, the part status is listed as Obsolete, which affects availability and long-term support considerations.

Substitute Part 09561517500 (HARTING) does not qualify as a functional equivalent. This part is a D-Sub High Density receptacle with 15 positions in a 3-row configuration, representing a fundamentally different connector family and contact arrangement. The connector type, contact configuration, and physical form factor are incompatible with the modular RJ45 jack specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: TE Connectivity 5406562-1

The TE Connectivity 5406562-1 is the recommended choice for new designs and applications requiring active production support. This part maintains active product status with established supply chain availability (716 units in stock). RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating confirm suitability for standard manufacturing and storage conditions without special handling requirements.

Alternative Selection: Phoenix Contact 1688599

The Phoenix Contact 1688599 provides functional equivalence as a modular jack connector with 8p8c RJ45 configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, and solder termination. This part exceeds the performance specification with Cat5e rating compared to the Cat4 specification of the main part. However, the Obsolete product status indicates discontinued manufacturing and limited long-term availability. This part is suitable only for replacement applications in existing systems where supply from current inventory (686 units) is confirmed and future restocking is not required.

Non-Equivalent: HARTING 09561517500

The HARTING 09561517500 is not suitable as a substitute. This D-Sub High Density connector represents a different connector family with 15 positions in a 3-row configuration, incompatible with RJ45 modular jack applications. Selection of this part would require complete redesign of mating connectors and PCB layout.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1688599 replace the TE Connectivity 5406562-1 in existing designs?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1688599 provides functional equivalence for the core connector specifications: 8p8c RJ45 jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, solder termination, and shielding. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) and maintain MSL 1 rating. The Phoenix Contact part exceeds performance requirements with Cat5e rating versus Cat4. However, the Obsolete status of the Phoenix Contact part limits its use to replacement scenarios where current inventory is available and future restocking is not anticipated.

Q: What are the key differences between the TE Connectivity 5406562-1 and Phoenix Contact 1688599?

A: Both parts share identical connector type (Jack), contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), orientation (90° right-angle), mounting method (through-hole), and termination (solder). The TE Connectivity part specifies Phosphor Bronze contacts with EMI finger shielding and Cat4 rating, while the Phoenix Contact part uses Copper Alloy contacts with Cat5e rating. The TE Connectivity part maintains Active product status, whereas the Phoenix Contact part is Obsolete. Contact finish thickness is specified for the TE Connectivity part (50.0µin) but not provided for the Phoenix Contact part.

Q: Why is the HARTING 09561517500 listed as a substitute if it is not compatible?

A: The HARTING 09561517500 is included in the provided substitute list but does not meet the functional equivalence criteria for the TE Connectivity 5406562-1. This part is a D-Sub High Density connector with 15 positions in a 3-row configuration, representing a fundamentally different connector family. It cannot serve as a direct replacement and would require complete redesign of mating connectors and PCB layout. This part is not recommended for substitution purposes.

Q: Are there any compliance or environmental differences between the main part and the Phoenix Contact substitute?

A: Both the TE Connectivity 5406562-1 and Phoenix Contact 1688599 maintain RoHS compliance (RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant respectively) and MSL 1 rating (Unlimited moisture sensitivity). Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The Phoenix Contact part includes IP20 ingress protection specification, which is not specified for the TE Connectivity part. Both parts carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What packaging format should be considered when selecting between the main part and substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity 5406562-1 is supplied in Tray packaging, while the Phoenix Contact 1688599 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format affects handling, storage, and integration into manufacturing processes. Tray packaging typically provides better component protection and organization for automated assembly, while Bulk packaging may offer cost advantages for high-volume applications. The HARTING 09561517500 is also supplied in Bulk packaging but remains incompatible for functional substitution.
