Amphenol ICC 95672-001A Modular Connector RJ45 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 95672-001A is a jack modular connector (8p8c RJ45, Ethernet) with 90° right-angle orientation, designed for through-hole solder termination with shielding rated to Cat5 specifications. This connector features board lock and filter functionality with phosphor bronze contacts finished in gold.

The 95672-001A is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 95672-001A is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Must be RJ45 jack modular connector with 8p8c contact arrangement
• Mounting & Orientation: Through-hole mounting with 90° right-angle orientation required
• Termination Method: Solder termination only
• Shielding: Shielded construction mandatory for EMI protection
• Electrical Rating: Cat5 or higher category rating (Cat5e acceptable)
• Tab Direction: Down-facing tab orientation
• Contact Finish: Gold plating for corrosion resistance and signal integrity

The two substitute parts listed below meet these core substitution criteria while offering improved product status (active vs. obsolete) and enhanced compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SS-7188S-A-NF-1-50 (Stewart Connector) is the primary substitute for the 95672-001A. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications (8p8c RJ45, 90° right-angle, through-hole solder termination, shielded Cat5e) while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The increased contact finish thickness (50.0µin vs. 30.0µin) provides enhanced durability. Operating temperature range extends to 85°C, exceeding the original specification.

7499011001A (Würth Elektronik) serves as an alternative substitute with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part is rated for 10/100 Base-T applications with AutoMDIX functionality and includes enhanced EMI finger shielding. Contact material differs (tin vs. phosphor bronze), and contact finish thickness matches the original specification. Operating temperature extends to 85°C.

Both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, addressing regulatory requirements that the obsolete original part does not meet. Selection between the two should be based on application-specific requirements: Stewart Connector for direct mechanical/electrical equivalence, or Würth Elektronik for enhanced EMI performance and network protocol support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7499011001A be used as a direct replacement for the 95672-001A?

A: The 7499011001A meets core substitution criteria (RJ45 jack, 8p8c, 90° right-angle, through-hole solder, shielded). However, contact material differs (tin vs. phosphor bronze), and it is specified for 10/100 Base-T applications rather than Cat5 generic rating. Verify application requirements before selection.

Q: What is the difference between Cat5 and Cat5e ratings?

A: Cat5e represents an enhanced specification of Cat5 with improved performance characteristics. Cat5e is backward compatible with Cat5 applications. The SS-7188S-A-NF-1-50 Cat5e rating exceeds the original Cat5 specification.

Q: Are both substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: No. The original 95672-001A packaging is not specified. The 7499011001A is supplied in tube packaging, while the SS-7188S-A-NF-1-50 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do the substitute parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: The original 95672-001A operates from -40°C to 70°C. Both substitutes extend the upper limit to 85°C, providing a wider operating window. This represents an improvement over the original specification.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference?

A: The SS-7188S-A-NF-1-50 features 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating compared to 30.0µin (0.76µm) on the original part. Increased thickness provides enhanced wear resistance and corrosion protection, particularly beneficial for high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 7499011001A and SS-7188S-A-NF-1-50 are ROHS3 compliant. The original 95672-001A is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in the same PCB footprint?

A: All three connectors share identical mechanical specifications (through-hole, 90° right-angle, down-facing tab). PCB footprint compatibility is maintained. However, verify specific board layout requirements with your design documentation.
