A-MO 8/8-SF Modular Connector Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The A-MO 8/8-SF is an 8-position 8-contact (8p8c) modular connector plug manufactured by Assmann WSW Components. This unshielded RJ45 Ethernet connector is designed for flat oval cable with stranded wires and uses IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination. The part is currently active in production with 1218 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to availability constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility within the allowed parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 5010-FU0088-005 (CNC Tech) qualifies as an equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Both are plugs
• Contact configuration: Both are 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) position
• Shielding: Both are unshielded
• Termination: Both use IDC termination
• Housing material: Both use Polycarbonate (PC)
• Contact material: Both use Copper Alloy with gold finish
• Electrical ratings: Both rated 2 A at 250V
• Color: Both are Translucent - Clear
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Substitution is valid when the application requires an 8p8c modular connector plug with IDC termination for flat oval cable in an unshielded configuration. Physical length variation (24.84mm vs 22.64mm) and contact finish thickness difference (6.00µin vs 50.0µin) fall within acceptable mechanical tolerances for this connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the A-MO 8/8-SF and 5010-FU0088-005 are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: A-MO 8/8-SF has 1218 units in stock; 5010-FU0088-005 has 1192 units in stock
• Physical fit: The 2.2mm length difference may affect mechanical fit in space-constrained applications
• Contact durability: The CNC Tech part features thicker gold plating (50.0µin vs 6.00µin), which may provide extended contact life in high-cycle mating applications
• Supply chain: Either part is suitable for new designs or as a direct replacement in existing applications

Both parts meet the same electrical and environmental specifications and are suitable for RJ45 Ethernet modular connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5010-FU0088-005 directly replace the A-MO 8/8-SF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are 8p8c unshielded modular connector plugs with IDC termination, identical electrical ratings (2 A, 250V), and the same housing material (Polycarbonate). The 2.2mm length difference (24.84mm vs 22.64mm) must be verified for mechanical fit in the specific application.

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

A: The CNC Tech part has thicker gold plating (50.0µin vs 6.00µin). Both finishes meet the same electrical and environmental requirements. Thicker plating may provide improved durability in applications with frequent mating cycles.

Q: Are both parts suitable for Ethernet applications?

A: Yes. Both are 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) connectors with identical electrical specifications and are designed for flat oval cable with IDC termination.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, classified as EAR99, and assigned the same HTSUS code (8536.69.8000). Both have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the difference in cable type specification?

A: The A-MO 8/8-SF specifies flat oval cable with stranded wires. The 5010-FU0088-005 specifies flat oval cable without additional wire specification. Both are designed for flat oval cable IDC termination.
