Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FRJA-468 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Core Mechanical Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Number of Ports: 1
• Number of Rows: 1
• Tab Direction: Down

Core Electrical Parameters:

• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze or equivalent copper alloy
• Contact Finish: Gold

Environmental Parameters:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must maintain equivalence across all core mechanical and electrical parameters. Variations in contact finish thickness, operating temperature range, RoHS compliance status, and housing material composition are permitted when the primary functional and mechanical characteristics remain identical. Parts classified as Direct Manufacturer or Similar equivalents meet these substitution criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FRJAE-468 (Amphenol ICC): This part represents the direct active equivalent to the obsolete FRJA-468. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications, with FRJAE-468 offering improved compliance status (RoHS Compliant versus RoHS non-compliant) and an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C). The contact finish thickness is increased to 50.0µin (1.27µm), providing enhanced durability. This part is the primary recommendation for direct replacement in new designs and procurement activities.

5558344-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): This part maintains full mechanical and electrical equivalence with the FRJA-468, with the addition of EMI Finger shielding and Cat5 rating specification. The housing material differs (Polyamide/Nylon versus Thermoplastic), and the operating temperature range is -40°C ~ 85°C. ROHS3 compliance is provided. This part is suitable for applications requiring enhanced EMI performance.

SS-640810-NF-A111 (Stewart Connector): This part provides mechanical and electrical equivalence with contact material specified as Copper Alloy rather than Phosphor Bronze. The contact finish thickness matches the original FRJA-468 at 30.0µin (0.76µm). Cat5 rating and Board Lock features are included. ROHS3 compliance is provided with an operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C.

SS-640810-NF-A75 (Stewart Connector): This part is mechanically and electrically equivalent to the FRJA-468 with Copper Alloy contact material and increased contact finish thickness of 50.0µin (1.27µm). Cat5 rating and Board Lock features are included. ROHS3 compliance is provided with an operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FRJAE-468 be used as a direct replacement for FRJA-468?

A: Yes. FRJAE-468 is the active equivalent part from the same manufacturer (Amphenol ICC) with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The primary differences are improved RoHS compliance status and extended operating temperature range. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the Amphenol ICC parts (FRJA-468 and FRJAE-468) and the Stewart Connector parts (SS-640810-NF-A111 and SS-640810-NF-A75)?

A: The core mechanical and electrical specifications are equivalent across all parts. The Stewart Connector parts specify Copper Alloy contact material instead of Phosphor Bronze, and both Stewart parts include Cat5 rating specification. Contact finish thickness varies between the Stewart variants (30.0µin and 50.0µin). All parts maintain identical connector type, orientation, mounting, termination, and shielding characteristics.

Q: How do the contact finish thickness variations affect part selection?

A: Contact finish thickness is a permitted variation parameter in substitution. FRJA-468 and SS-640810-NF-A111 specify 30.0µin (0.76µm), while FRJAE-468, 5558344-1, and SS-640810-NF-A75 specify 50.0µin (1.27µm). Thicker finishes provide increased durability and wear resistance. Selection depends on application-specific durability requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the EMI Finger feature in 5558344-1?

A: The EMI Finger shielding in 5558344-1 provides additional electromagnetic interference suppression beyond standard shielding. This feature is functionally compatible with the FRJA-468 and represents an enhancement rather than a deviation from the core specification.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: FRJA-468 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts (FRJAE-468, 5558344-1, SS-640810-NF-A111, and SS-640810-NF-A75) are RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. This represents an improvement in regulatory compliance for new designs and procurement.

Q: What is the difference between Board Lock and Board Guide features?

A: Board Lock and Board Guide are mechanical retention features. FRJA-468, FRJAE-468, SS-640810-NF-A111, and SS-640810-NF-A75 include Board Lock. The 5558344-1 includes Board Guide. Both features provide mechanical stability during installation and operation. Selection depends on PCB design requirements and mechanical retention specifications.

Q: Can parts with different housing materials (Thermoplastic versus Polyamide/Nylon) be used interchangeably?

A: Yes. Both Thermoplastic and Polyamide (PA) Nylon housing materials are functionally equivalent for this connector category. The 5558344-1 uses Polyamide/Nylon housing while other parts use Thermoplastic. Material selection does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for FRJA-468?

A: The operating temperature range for FRJA-468 is not specified in the provided data. Substitute parts specify ranges of -55°C ~ 85°C (FRJAE-468) or -40°C ~ 85°C (5558344-1, SS-640810-NF-A111, SS-640810-NF-A75). For applications requiring specific temperature performance, FRJAE-468 provides the widest operating range.

Q: Are all parts available in the same packaging format?

A: FRJA-468 packaging is not specified. All substitute parts are available in Tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility.
