Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 569262-1 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Jack (8P8C/RJ45)
• Number of positions: 8 contacts
• Orientation: 90° right-angle
• Mounting: Through-hole solder termination
• Shielding: Shielded with EMI finger
• Contact material and finish: Phosphor bronze with gold plating
• Tab direction: Up and down orientation
• Features: Board guide inclusion

Direct Equivalent Classification: The 5569262-1 (TE Connectivity) qualifies as a direct equivalent substitute, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Similar Substitute Classification: The J20-0017NL (Pulse Electronics) functions as a similar substitute for applications requiring 8-port RJ45 through-hole connectivity with shielded construction, though it introduces enhanced features (10/100 Base-TX, AutoMDIX, Power over Ethernet support) and operates within a narrower temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred): The 5569262-1 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 569262-1. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility and functional equivalence. The 5569262-1 offers the additional advantage of active product status, RoHS compliance, and REACH unaffected certification, making it suitable for new designs and legacy system support.

For Enhanced Feature Requirements: The J20-0017NL (Pulse Electronics PULSEJACK™ J2 series) serves as an alternative for applications requiring integrated 10/100 Base-TX functionality, AutoMDIX capability, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. This substitute maintains core mechanical compatibility (through-hole, 90° right-angle, 8-port configuration) while introducing advanced network features. The operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C) is narrower than the main part, requiring thermal environment verification for applications exceeding 70°C.

Compliance Considerations: The 569262-1 is RoHS non-compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. Both substitute parts (5569262-1 and J20-0017NL) are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, supporting regulatory requirements for modern manufacturing and distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5569262-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 569262-1?

A: Yes. The 5569262-1 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, pin configuration, orientation, shielding, contact materials, and operating temperature range. The parts are functionally equivalent for all applications compatible with the original 569262-1.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 569262-1 and 5569262-1?

A: The 5569262-1 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 569262-1. Key differences include product status (active vs. obsolete), RoHS compliance (compliant vs. non-compliant), and REACH certification status (unaffected vs. vendor undefined). Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: When should the J20-0017NL be selected instead of the 5569262-1?

A: The J20-0017NL is appropriate for applications requiring integrated 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet functionality, AutoMDIX capability, or Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. If the application operates exclusively within the 0°C to 70°C temperature range and requires these enhanced features, the J20-0017NL is a suitable alternative. For basic Cat5 Ethernet connectivity without these features, the 5569262-1 is the preferred choice.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 569262-1 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 5569262-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. The J20-0017NL packaging is not specified. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; they relate only to order quantities and handling procedures.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness difference between the 569262-1 and J20-0017NL?

A: The 569262-1 features 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold contact finish thickness, while the J20-0017NL features 30.0µin (0.76µm). Both thicknesses provide adequate contact durability for standard Ethernet applications. The thicker finish on the 569262-1 may offer extended contact life in high-cycle mating environments.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for Cat5e or Cat6 applications?

A: The 569262-1 and 5569262-1 are rated for Cat5. The J20-0017NL is rated for 10/100 Base-TX applications. These specifications define the electrical performance category. Mechanical compatibility with Cat5e or Cat6 cabling exists, but electrical performance certification is limited to the stated ratings.

Q: What is the MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) for these parts?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.
