• Number of Ports: 1
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Housing Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Tab Direction: Up
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8536.69.4040

Substitution is valid when these core electrical and mechanical parameters remain constant across both parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MTJ-88EX1 and MTJ-88EX2 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts depends on operating temperature requirements. The MTJ-88EX1 supports the full temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, while the MTJ-88EX2 operates within -40°C to 85°C. For applications requiring operation above 85°C, the MTJ-88EX1 is the appropriate selection. For applications within the -40°C to 85°C range, either part is functionally equivalent. Both parts carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector interface, contact material, and termination method.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MTJ-88EX2 be used as a direct replacement for MTJ-88EX1?

A: MTJ-88EX2 is functionally equivalent to MTJ-88EX1 for applications operating within the -40°C to 85°C temperature range. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, mounting method, and termination specifications. Selection depends on your application's maximum operating temperature requirement.

Q: What is the primary difference between MTJ-88EX1 and MTJ-88EX2?

A: The primary difference is the operating temperature range. MTJ-88EX1 operates from -40°C to 125°C, while MTJ-88EX2 operates from -40°C to 85°C. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for Ethernet applications?

A: Yes. Both MTJ-88EX1 and MTJ-88EX2 are 8P8C (RJ45) modular jack connectors designed for Ethernet and network connectivity. They share identical contact configuration and electrical interface specifications.

Q: Do these connectors require shielding?

A: Both parts are unshielded connectors. If shielded performance is required, alternative connector designs must be evaluated.

Q: What is the packaging format for these parts?

A: Both MTJ-88EX1 and MTJ-88EX2 are supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4040).
