RJE021660310 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJE021660310 is an active, RoHS-compliant modular jack connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This 6p6c jack connector supports RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, and RJ25 standards with a 90° right-angle orientation and through-hole solder termination. Finding equivalent substitutes is necessary to ensure supply chain continuity, accommodate varying packaging requirements, and manage inventory across multiple approved suppliers while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJE021660310 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Connector type (Jack), position count (6p6c), port configuration (single port, single row), and contact material (Phosphor Bronze with gold finish) must match exactly.

Mechanical Compatibility: Mounting type (Through Hole), orientation (90° right-angle), termination method (Solder), and tab direction (Down) must be identical to ensure PCB fitment and assembly compatibility.

Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), shielding type (Unshielded), and RoHS compliance status must align with application requirements.

The substitute part A-2004-1-4-N-R, manufactured by Assmann WSW Components, meets all these critical parameters, differing only in packaging format (Tray vs. standard packaging) and contact finish thickness (6.00µin vs. 30.0µin), which do not affect functional compatibility in this application category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RJE021660310 and A-2004-1-4-N-R connectors are active products with current availability and full regulatory compliance. The RJE021660310 maintains RoHS compliance, while the A-2004-1-4-N-R achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting or exceeding current environmental standards.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain requirements, packaging format preferences (standard vs. Tray), and inventory management. The A-2004-1-4-N-R provides higher inventory availability (18,040 pcs vs. 640 pcs) and offers glass-filled PBT housing, which may provide enhanced mechanical stability in demanding applications. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications critical to RJ11/RJ12/RJ14/RJ25 modular connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the A-2004-1-4-N-R substitute directly for the RJE021660310? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical 6p6c jack connectors with 90° right-angle solder termination, through-hole mounting, and identical tab direction. They are functionally interchangeable in circuit designs and PCB layouts.

Q: What is the significance of the different housing materials? A: The RJE021660310 uses standard thermoplastic housing, while the A-2004-1-4-N-R uses glass-filled PBT. Glass-filled PBT provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability. Both materials are suitable for the -40°C to 85°C operating range and do not affect electrical performance.

Q: Why do the contact finish thicknesses differ? A: Contact finish thickness (30.0µin vs. 6.00µin) does not affect connector functionality or compatibility. Both thicknesses provide adequate gold plating for electrical contact integrity and corrosion resistance in standard RJ modular connector applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. The RJE021660310 is RoHS compliant. The A-2004-1-4-N-R is ROHS3 compliant, which is a current revision maintaining full compliance with RoHS environmental standards. Both are acceptable for applications requiring regulatory compliance.

Q: Does packaging format affect part selection? A: Packaging format (standard vs. Tray) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on inventory management, handling procedures, and supply chain logistics. The Tray packaging of the A-2004-1-4-N-R may offer benefits for high-volume manufacturing environments.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level 1? A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates these connectors have unlimited shelf life without special moisture control measures. Both parts can be stored and handled under standard warehouse conditions without environmental chambers or desiccant packaging requirements.
