ENC28J60T/SS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ENC28J60T/SS is an Ethernet controller with integrated 10 Base-T PHY and SPI interface, manufactured by Microchip Technology. This device operates as an active product with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The ENC28J60T/SS is packaged in 28-SSOP form factor and supplied on Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®. Finding equivalent or substitute parts becomes necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, packaging format requirements, or inventory availability while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ENC28J60T/SS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: Ethernet protocol implementation, SPI interface specification, 10 Base-T PHY standard compliance, identical voltage supply range (3.1V ~ 3.6V), matching current consumption (160mA), compatible operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C), and identical 28-SSOP package dimensions. The substitute part must originate from the same manufacturer (Microchip Technology) and maintain the same base product number (ENC28J60) to ensure functional and pin-level compatibility. Packaging format differences (Cut Tape vs. Tube) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and represent logistics variations only.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ENC28J60T/SS and ENC28J60/SS are active products from Microchip Technology with identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging format requirements and supply chain availability. The ENC28J60T/SS in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring tape-and-reel delivery. The ENC28J60/SS in Tube packaging accommodates manual assembly workflows or applications with lower volume requirements. Both variants maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications. Current inventory levels support both options for immediate procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are ENC28J60T/SS and ENC28J60/SS electrically identical? A: Yes. Both parts share identical voltage supply range (3.1V ~ 3.6V), current consumption (160mA), operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C), and all functional specifications including Ethernet protocol, SPI interface, and 10 Base-T PHY standards.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers? A: The primary difference is packaging format. ENC28J60T/SS is supplied on Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®, while ENC28J60/SS is supplied in Tube format. Both use identical 28-SSOP package dimensions (0.209", 5.30mm Width).

Q: Can I substitute ENC28J60/SS for ENC28J60T/SS in my design? A: Yes, provided your assembly process accommodates Tube packaging. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, ensuring direct compatibility at the circuit board level.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. Both ENC28J60T/SS and ENC28J60/SS maintain ROHS3 compliance and are REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts? A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Q: Which part should I select for high-volume automated assembly? A: The ENC28J60T/SS in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Q: Which part should I select for low-volume or manual assembly? A: The ENC28J60/SS in Tube packaging is suitable for manual assembly workflows and lower-volume production runs.
