Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Must be 8p8c (RJ45) jack modular connector
• Mounting & Orientation: Through-hole mounting with 90° right-angle orientation required
• Termination Method: Solder termination only
• Shielding: Shielded construction with EMI finger protection
• Tab Direction: Down-facing tab orientation
• Contact Finish: Gold plating for corrosion resistance and signal integrity
• Electrical Rating: Cat3 or higher category rating acceptable
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS and REACH status for regulatory alignment

The two substitute parts listed (Würth Elektronik 7499011001A and Stewart Connector SS-7188S-A-PG4-1-BA) meet these core substitution criteria with variations in operating temperature range and category rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain active product status and meet core mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements with the Amphenol ICC 94910-001AMLF.

Würth Elektronik 7499011001A provides extended operating temperature capability (-40°C to 85°C versus -70°C) and higher contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus 5.00µin), supporting 10/100 Base-T applications with AutoMDIX functionality. This part carries ROHS3 compliance and maintains MSL 1 rating. Inventory availability is 902 units.

Stewart Connector SS-7188S-A-PG4-1-BA offers Cat5e rating (exceeding the Cat3 requirement) with extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and increased contact finish thickness (30.0µin). ROHS3 compliance is confirmed with REACH unaffected status. This part has the highest inventory availability at 3,388 units and is supplied in bulk packaging.

Selection between substitutes should be based on application bandwidth requirements, thermal environment constraints, and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik 7499011001A replace the Amphenol ICC 94910-001AMLF in all applications?

A: Yes, provided the application does not require operation below -40°C or above 85°C. The Würth part exceeds the Cat3 specification with 10/100 Base-T capability and maintains all critical mechanical parameters including through-hole mounting, right-angle orientation, solder termination, and EMI shielding.

Q: What is the difference between Cat3 and Cat5e ratings?

A: Cat3 supports data transmission up to 10 Mbps, while Cat5e supports up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps). The Stewart Connector SS-7188S-A-PG4-1-BA with Cat5e rating is backward compatible with Cat3 applications and provides higher bandwidth capability for future upgrades.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish thickness between the parts?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC 94910-001AMLF has 5.00µin (0.127µm) gold plating, while both substitute parts have 30.0µin (0.76µm) plating. Thicker plating provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance in demanding environments.

Q: Does packaging type affect substitution eligibility?

A: Packaging (tube versus bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The Amphenol and Stewart parts are supplied in tube and bulk packaging respectively. Packaging selection should be based on procurement and assembly process requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: The Amphenol ICC 94910-001AMLF is RoHS Compliant. Both substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status, which represents a more recent compliance standard. All three parts are suitable for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: What is the significance of MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level)?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the part has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and requires no special storage or handling precautions. The Amphenol and Würth parts both carry MSL 1 rating. The Stewart part lists MSL as Not Applicable, indicating equivalent or superior moisture resistance characteristics.
