The substitute part CJS688TGWHY meets all mandatory matching parameters while differing only in housing materials, color specifications, and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CJS688TGWHY serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete CJSUD688TGWHY. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for Cat6 Ethernet connectivity, including connector type, termination method, contact materials, and operating temperature range.

The substitute part is ROHS3 Compliant and carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The internal housing material change from Polycarbonate to ABS does not affect functional performance within the specified operating parameters.

For applications requiring the exact white color specification of the original part, color availability should be confirmed with the component supplier. The silver color variant of the substitute part maintains all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CJS688TGWHY be used as a direct replacement for CJSUD688TGWHY in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts are Mini-Com® TX6™ PLUS Keystone Connectors with identical electrical ratings (Cat6), connector type (8p8c RJ45), termination method (IDC Pressdown), and operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 65°C). The substitute part is Active status, ensuring continued availability.

Q: What is the difference between the main part and the substitute?

A: The primary differences are product status (Obsolete vs. Active), interior housing material (Polycarbonate vs. ABS), and color specification (White vs. Silver). All electrical and mechanical performance parameters remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant. The substitute part includes additional compliance documentation (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4030) and specifies Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Does the color difference affect functionality?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic specification only. The silver variant of CJS688TGWHY provides identical electrical and mechanical performance to the white variant CJSUD688TGWHY.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: CJSUD688TGWHY packaging is not specified in available documentation. CJS688TGWHY is supplied in Bulk packaging configuration.

Q: Is the housing material change from Polycarbonate to ABS significant?

A: Both materials provide adequate mechanical protection and electrical insulation within the specified operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 65°C). The ABS material in the substitute part maintains all functional requirements for this connector category.
