Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMK-0004 is determined by strict equivalence of the following parameters:

• Connector Type Conversion: D-Sub 15 Pin Male input to Modular 8p8c (RJ45) Female Jack output
• Physical Color: Gray finish
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The substitute part RJADK15P7080831 maintains identical functional conversion specifications and environmental ratings, qualifying it as a direct equivalent for the obsolete AMK-0004.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJADK15P7080831 manufactured by NorComp Inc. is the direct substitute for the obsolete AMK-0004. Both parts maintain identical connector conversion specifications (D-Sub 15 Pin Male to RJ45 Female Jack), identical color (gray), and equivalent moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1). The substitute part carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance, providing improved regulatory standing compared to the original RoHS Compliant designation. Selection of RJADK15P7080831 ensures functional and mechanical compatibility in applications previously using AMK-0004.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJADK15P7080831 be used as a direct replacement for AMK-0004?

A: Yes. Both adapters perform identical D-Sub 15 Pin Male to RJ45 Female Jack conversion with matching color and environmental specifications.

Q: Are there differences in connector pin configuration between these parts?

A: No. Both parts convert from D-Sub 15 Pin Male to Modular 8p8c (RJ45) Female Jack with identical specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: AMK-0004 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. RJADK15P7080831 is active production, ensuring availability for new orders and ongoing supply.

Q: Does packaging affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging (Bag for RJADK15P7080831) does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility. It pertains only to delivery and storage format.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. AMK-0004 is RoHS Compliant. RJADK15P7080831 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing an enhanced compliance standard.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these adapters?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level, meaning these connectors have unlimited shelf life and require no special moisture control during storage or handling.
