Amphenol ICC 94910-001M Modular Connector RJ45 Jack Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 94910-001M is a shielded modular jack connector (8p8c RJ45) with 90° right-angle orientation, designed for through-hole PCB mounting with solder termination. This connector features an EMI finger for Cat3 Ethernet applications and includes board lock functionality. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute components that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for new designs or production continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following parameters: connector type (8p8c RJ45 jack), orientation (90° right angle), mounting method (through hole), termination type (solder), shielding configuration (shielded with EMI finger), tab direction (down), and contact finish (gold). Parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Amphenol ICC Equivalent: 94910-001MLF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part, with the primary difference being active product status and RoHS compliance. This represents the direct successor within the same manufacturer series.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitutes: Parts from TE Connectivity, Würth Elektronik, and Stewart Connector meet the core functional requirements (8p8c RJ45, 90° right angle, through-hole solder mount, shielded, gold contact finish, down tab direction). These alternatives accommodate design flexibility while maintaining PCB layout compatibility and electrical performance for Cat3/Cat5e Ethernet applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 94910-001MLF (Amphenol ICC) is the direct equivalent for designs currently using 94910-001M. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance, eliminating obsolescence risk and regulatory concerns.

Secondary Recommendations: 2-5338556-1 (TE Connectivity) and SS-6488S-A-PG1-BA (Stewart Connector) are suitable cross-manufacturer alternatives that preserve the EMI finger shielding configuration specified in the original design. Both are ROHS3 compliant and actively manufactured.

Alternative Options: SS-6488S-A-NF-K1 and SS-7188S-A-NF-K1 (Stewart Connector) provide functional substitution with shielding and gold contact finish, though without EMI finger specification. These are appropriate for applications where EMI finger performance is not critical to system requirements.

Compliance Consideration: All recommended substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements absent in the obsolete 94910-001M. Selection should account for design validation requirements and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 94910-001MLF directly replace 94910-001M in existing designs? A: Yes. The 94910-001MLF is the direct successor with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are active product status and RoHS compliance. No PCB layout or schematic modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the EMI finger specification? A: The EMI finger provides additional electromagnetic interference shielding for the connector. The 94910-001M and its direct equivalent 94910-001MLF include this feature. Cross-manufacturer substitutes SS-6488S-A-PG1-BA and 7499011001A also include EMI finger shielding. Parts without this specification (SS-6488S-A-NF-K1, SS-7188S-A-NF-K1) are suitable only if EMI performance requirements do not mandate this feature.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts? A: Yes. 94910-001M has no specified packaging, 94910-001MLF is supplied in Tube, 2-5338556-1 in Tray, 7499011001A in Tube, and Stewart Connector parts have unspecified or variable packaging. Verify packaging requirements with procurement specifications before finalizing supplier selection.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between 94910-001M and substitutes? A: The 94910-001M operates from -40°C to 70°C. Most active substitutes (7499011001A, Stewart Connector series) extend to -40°C to 85°C, providing broader thermal operating range. The TE Connectivity 2-5338556-1 does not specify operating temperature limits in available data.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: All recommended substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. The original 94910-001M is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance upgrade is a key advantage of transitioning to active alternatives.

Q: Can I use SS-7188S-A-NF-K1 (Cat5e rated) in place of 94910-001M (Cat3 rated)? A: Yes, from a mechanical and electrical compatibility standpoint. Cat5e connectors are backward compatible with Cat3 applications. However, verify that your design does not specifically require Cat3 rating for compliance or performance documentation purposes.
