Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6368457-1 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Port Configuration: RJ45, 2-port configuration
• Mounting & Orientation: Through-hole mounting with 90° right-angle orientation
• Electrical Specifications: 10/100 Base-T/Base-TX networking standard compatibility
• Physical Design: Shielded construction with EMI finger protection, board guide feature
• Termination Method: Solder termination
• Contact & Shield Materials: Phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish; brass shield
• Environmental Compliance: REACH unaffected status, EAR99 classification

The substitute part 1840854-1 meets all substitution criteria. It maintains identical mechanical form factor, electrical performance class (10/100 Base-TX is compatible with Base-T applications), shielding architecture, and environmental certifications. The primary distinction is product status: 1840854-1 is active and currently in production, whereas 6368457-1 is obsolete.
