Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the JV026I21 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: RJ45
• Number of Ports: 1
• Applications: 10/100 Base-TX
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination: Solder
• Height Above Board: 0.507" (12.88mm)
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C ~ 70°C
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic

The JV026I21NL meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product within the same PULSEJACK™ JV series. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and product status, with JV026I21NL supplied in tray packaging and maintaining active production status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The JV026I21NL is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete JV026I21. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, port configuration, mounting orientation, and operating temperature range.

The JV026I21NL offers the additional advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The JV026I21NL also achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original JV026I21 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or production transitions, the JV026I21NL is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain identical REACH and ECCN classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can JV026I21NL be used as a direct replacement for JV026I21 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The JV026I21NL is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the JV026I21 across all functional parameters. Both components feature identical RJ45 connector specifications, 90° right-angle orientation, solder termination, and 10/100 Base-TX application support. The primary differences are packaging format and product status.

Q: What is the difference between JV026I21 and JV026I21NL?

A: The JV026I21NL is supplied in tray packaging, whereas the JV026I21 packaging format is not specified. The JV026I21NL maintains active product status with RoHS compliance, while the JV026I21 is classified as obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Why is the JV026I21 classified as obsolete?

A: The JV026I21 has been superseded by the JV026I21NL within the PULSEJACK™ JV series. The JV026I21NL provides equivalent functionality with improved compliance status and active manufacturing support.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when transitioning from JV026I21 to JV026I21NL?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both components are pin-for-pin and functionally equivalent. PCB layouts, solder profiles, and assembly processes require no modification.

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

A: Both the JV026I21 and JV026I21NL operate across a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The JV026I21NL is supplied in tray packaging. The original JV026I21 packaging format is not specified in the available documentation.
