Amphenol ICC 98435-511 Modular Connector RJ45 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 98435-511 is an 8-position 8-contact (8p8c) modular jack connector conforming to RJ45 Ethernet standards. This vertical, unshielded connector is designed for surface mount applications with solder termination and operates across the industrial temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with 780 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to inventory constraints, manufacturing discontinuation, or supply chain optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 98435-511 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Jack)
• Contact configuration (8p8c RJ45 Ethernet)
• Port and row count (1 port, 1 row)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount)
• Physical orientation (Vertical)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Electrical shielding (Unshielded)
• Performance rating (Cat3)
• Contact material composition (Phosphor Bronze)
• Contact finish specification (Gold)
• Operating temperature capability (-65°C to 125°C minimum)
• Moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-338088-3 meets all substitution criteria across these parameters, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 98435-511 and TE Connectivity 1-338088-3 are active production components meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet jack applications. The TE Connectivity part 1-338088-3 provides ROHS3 compliance, whereas the Amphenol ICC part does not meet RoHS requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance mandates and packaging format requirements. The Amphenol ICC 98435-511 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while the TE Connectivity 1-338088-3 is available in Cut Tape format. Both parts maintain MSL 1 classification and support the full industrial operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-338088-3 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 98435-511?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 8p8c RJ45 configuration, vertical surface mount orientation, solder termination, unshielded design, Cat3 rating, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity. The primary differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape packaging provides components on individual tape segments, typically for smaller volume applications or manual assembly processes. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition restrictions on hazardous substances and does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. Selection based on RoHS status depends on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application or market region.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges equivalent?

A: The Amphenol ICC 98435-511 specifies -65°C to 125°C. The TE Connectivity 1-338088-3 does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data. Verify TE Connectivity documentation if operating temperature range is a critical design parameter.

Q: What contact finish thickness is specified for the TE Connectivity part?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-338088-3 does not provide contact finish thickness specification. The Amphenol ICC 98435-511 specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating thickness. Consult TE Connectivity technical documentation if finish thickness is a design requirement.
