Amphenol ICC 94910-004M Modular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 94910-004M is an active modular jack connector designed for 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) applications with 90° right-angle orientation and shielded construction. This through-hole solder-terminated connector features EMI finger shielding rated for Cat3 performance and is suitable for network and telecommunications equipment requiring board-level integration. Finding equivalent substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific compliance certifications needed for particular applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 94910-004M is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Connector type must be Jack
• Contact configuration must be 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Port count must be 4
• Mounting must be through-hole solder termination
• Orientation must be 90° right-angle
• Shielding must include EMI finger protection
• Contact material must be phosphor bronze with gold finish
• Tab direction must be down

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 6339167-3 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. While this part exhibits differences in housing material composition, contact finish thickness, operating temperature maximum, and compliance certifications, these variations do not prevent functional equivalence within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters for modular connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 94910-004M and 6339167-3 are active products suitable for modular connector applications. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements:

The 94910-004M remains the primary choice when the original design specification and RoHS non-compliant status are acceptable for the application.

The 6339167-3 provides an alternative when ROHS3 compliance is required. This part offers an extended operating temperature maximum of 85°C compared to 70°C, and increased contact finish thickness of 50.0µin versus 5.00µin, which may provide enhanced durability in high-cycle mating environments. The housing material composition differs but maintains equivalent mechanical and electrical performance for the specified connector category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6339167-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 94910-004M?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical core specifications: 8p8c jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, four-port layout, shielded EMI finger construction, and phosphor bronze gold-plated contacts. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the modular connector category.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are housing material composition (thermoplastic glass-filled versus PCT polyester), contact finish thickness (5.00µin versus 50.0µin), maximum operating temperature (70°C versus 85°C), and RoHS compliance status (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant). These differences do not affect functional compatibility for standard modular connector applications.

Q: Which part should I select for a new design?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. If ROHS3 compliance is mandatory, select 6339167-3. If extended temperature operation to 85°C is required, 6339167-3 is the appropriate choice. For applications without these specific requirements, either part is suitable based on availability and lead time.

Q: Does the difference in contact finish thickness affect performance?

A: Contact finish thickness differences do not impact electrical performance or standard mating cycle durability for typical modular connector applications. The thicker finish on 6339167-3 may provide extended service life in high-cycle mating environments.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 94910-004M is supplied in bulk packaging, while 6339167-3 is supplied in tray packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
