RJ45-6LC2-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJ45-6LC2-S is a modular jack connector manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters, designed for 8-position 6-contact (8p6c) applications with right-angle orientation and shielding. This connector features through-hole solder termination and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RJ45-6LC2-S are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 8p6c
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Tab Direction: Down
• RoHS Compliance: Required
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The FRJAE416 from Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) meets all critical matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. While housing material and product status differ, the electrical and mechanical interface characteristics remain functionally equivalent for the intended application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FRJAE416 is the qualified substitute for the RJ45-6LC2-S based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory equivalence for procurement and export purposes.

Electrical and Mechanical Interface: The FRJAE416 provides identical contact configuration (8p6c), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), contact finish (Gold at 50.0µin thickness), and termination method (Solder). These parameters ensure direct functional compatibility in the circuit board interface.

Product Availability: The FRJAE416 carries an Active product status with 861 units in stock, compared to the obsolete RJ45-6LC2-S. This availability advantage supports ongoing production requirements and supply chain continuity.

Housing and Environmental Considerations: While the RJ45-6LC2-S uses Polyester Glass Filled housing and the FRJAE416 uses Thermoplastic housing, both materials provide equivalent shielding performance for the specified application. The FRJAE416 specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C, providing defined thermal performance parameters absent from the RJ45-6LC2-S documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FRJAE416 directly replace the RJ45-6LC2-S in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FRJAE416 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters including connector type, contact configuration (8p6c), orientation (90° right angle), termination method (solder), shielding, contact material, and finish specifications. The parts are functionally equivalent for circuit board integration.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these parts?

A: The RJ45-6LC2-S uses Polyester Glass Filled housing, while the FRJAE416 uses Thermoplastic housing. Both materials provide the required shielding and mechanical support for the connector application. The housing material difference does not affect electrical performance or interface compatibility.

Q: Why is the RJ45-6LC2-S listed as obsolete?

A: The RJ45-6LC2-S carries an obsolete product status from TE Connectivity. The FRJAE416 from Amphenol ICC is an active product with current manufacturing and inventory support, making it the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RJ45-6LC2-S packaging is not specified in the available documentation. The FRJAE416 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the RJ45-6LC2-S and FRJAE416 are RoHS Compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

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

A: The RJ45-6LC2-S operating temperature range is not specified in the available documentation. The FRJAE416 operates across -55°C to 85°C, providing defined thermal performance parameters for applications requiring temperature specification.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use Phosphor Bronze contacts with Gold finish at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and contact reliability.
