JC0-0131 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The Pulse Electronics JC0-0131 is an 8-port RJ45 modular connector designed for 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet applications with AutoMDIX support. This connector features through-hole mounting with 90° right-angle orientation, shielded design with EMI finger protection, and solder termination. The JC0-0131 is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain design continuity and ensure long-term component availability for new production and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The JC0-0131NL qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters across all critical specifications. Substitution compatibility is determined by the following key parameters:

Connector type (RJ45), port configuration (8 ports in 2 rows), mounting method (through-hole), orientation (90° right angle), termination style (solder), physical height (1.005"), shielding design (shielded with EMI finger), contact materials (phosphor bronze with gold finish), and operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C) are identical between the main part and substitute.

The JC0-0131NL maintains full functional and mechanical compatibility with the JC0-0131 while offering the advantage of active product status and RoHS compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The JC0-0131NL is the direct equivalent for the obsolete JC0-0131. Selection of the JC0-0131NL is supported by:

Product status: The JC0-0131NL maintains active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete JC0-0131.

Regulatory compliance: The JC0-0131NL is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original JC0-0131 is RoHS non-compliant, which may present compliance challenges for new designs or markets with RoHS mandates.

Electrical and mechanical specifications: All functional parameters, including connector type, port configuration, mounting method, orientation, termination, shielding, contact materials, and operating temperature range, are identical between both parts.

For applications requiring the 8-port RJ45 through-hole connector with 90° right-angle orientation, shielded design, and 10/100/1000 Base-T support, the JC0-0131NL provides full compatibility with the legacy JC0-0131 while offering improved regulatory standing and supply availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the JC0-0131NL be used as a direct replacement for the JC0-0131 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The JC0-0131NL is electrically and mechanically identical to the JC0-0131 across all specified parameters, including connector type, port count, mounting method, orientation, termination style, shielding, contact materials, and operating temperature range. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from JC0-0131 to JC0-0131NL?

A: The JC0-0131 is classified as obsolete, while the JC0-0131NL is in active production. Additionally, the JC0-0131NL is RoHS compliant, whereas the JC0-0131 is not. These factors ensure long-term component availability and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions or PCB footprint between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical mounting specifications, including through-hole configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, and height above board of 1.005" (25.53mm). PCB footprints are compatible.

Q: Do both parts support the same Ethernet applications?

A: Yes. Both the JC0-0131 and JC0-0131NL are designed for 10/100/1000 Base-T applications with AutoMDIX support and include shielded design with EMI finger protection.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate within the range of 0°C to 70°C.

Q: Are there any inventory or lead time considerations?

A: The JC0-0131 is obsolete with limited remaining stock. The JC0-0131NL is in active production with higher inventory availability, making it the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements.
