Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RJE031660310 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Positions/Contacts: 6p6c (RJ11, RJ12, RJ14, RJ25)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Number of Ports: 1
• Number of Rows: 1
• Tab Direction: Down
• Features: Board Lock

Secondary Considerations:

• Shielding: The main part is shielded; all identified substitutes are unshielded, representing a functional change that must be evaluated for the specific application
• Housing Material: Varies across substitutes (Thermoplastic, Polyamide PA, Liquid Crystal Polymer LCP, Polybutylene Terephthalate PBT)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze (main part and most substitutes) or Copper Alloy
• Operating Temperature Range: Varies from -40°C to 70°C or -40°C to 85°C
• Contact Finish Thickness: Ranges from 5.00µin to 50.0µin

All identified substitutes maintain core electrical and mechanical compatibility for 6p6c modular jack applications with identical port and row configuration. Shielding differences and material variations require application-level validation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring shielded modular jack connectors: The RJE031660310 (Amphenol ICC shielded) is the primary specification. All identified substitutes are unshielded variants and do not provide equivalent electromagnetic shielding characteristics. Selection of unshielded alternatives requires design validation confirming EMI/RFI immunity is not a functional requirement.

For applications where unshielded connectors are acceptable:

Active Product Status Preference: 0432026101 (Molex), 0955012661 (Molex), 1-1705950-1 (TE), 1-215876-3 (TE), 1705950-1 (TE), 215876-1 (TE), 5555165-1 (TE), 5569026-1 (TE), and 87180-066LF (Amphenol ICC) are all active products. The 54601-906WPLF (Amphenol ICC) is designated Last Time Buy and should be avoided for new designs.

Operating Temperature Alignment: Select 0432026101, 0955012661, 5555165-1, or 5569026-1 for applications requiring -40°C to 85°C operation to match the main part specification. Parts with -40°C to 70°C limits (1-215876-3, 215876-1, 54601-906WPLF, 87180-066LF) or unspecified ratings (1-1705950-1, 1705950-1) have restricted thermal operating ranges.

RoHS Compliance: All parts meet RoHS requirements (RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant). ROHS3 Compliant parts (0432026101, 0955012661, 1-215876-3) represent updated compliance certification.

Packaging Considerations: Tray packaging is available from 0432026101, 0955012661, 1-1705950-1, 1-215876-3, 5555165-1, and 5569026-1. Bulk packaging (54601-906WPLF, 1705950-1) and Tube packaging (87180-066LF) are alternative options. Cut Tape packaging is available from 215876-1.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can an unshielded substitute be used in place of the shielded RJE031660310? A: All identified substitutes are unshielded. Substitution is only valid for applications where electromagnetic shielding is not required for signal integrity or EMI compliance. Design validation must confirm that the removal of shielding does not impact performance.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match between the main part and substitute? A: The following parameters must be identical: connector type (Jack), positions/contacts (6p6c), orientation (90° right angle), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), number of ports (1), number of rows (1), and tab direction (down). These parameters define mechanical compatibility with the PCB footprint and mating cable connectors.

Q: Does housing material variation affect PCB mounting? A: Housing material variations (Thermoplastic, Polyamide PA, Liquid Crystal Polymer LCP, Polybutylene Terephthalate PBT) do not affect through-hole mounting compatibility. Material selection impacts thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties in specific environmental conditions. Verify material suitability for the application environment.

Q: Are there operating temperature restrictions when substituting parts? A: The main specification requires -40°C to 85°C operation. Substitutes with -40°C to 70°C limits (1-215876-3, 215876-1, 54601-906WPLF, 87180-066LF) cannot be used in applications requiring operation above 70°C. Parts with unspecified operating temperature (1-1705950-1, 1705950-1) lack thermal documentation and require vendor clarification before selection.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness variation? A: Contact finish thickness ranges from 5.00µin to 50.0µin across substitutes. The main part specifies 30.0µin. Thinner finishes (5.00µin to 6.00µin) may have reduced durability in high-cycle insertion/removal applications. Thicker finishes (50.0µin) provide enhanced wear resistance. Application insertion cycle requirements determine acceptable thickness ranges.

Q: Should Last Time Buy parts be selected for new designs? A: The 54601-906WPLF is designated Last Time Buy status. This part should not be specified for new designs or long-term production. Last Time Buy inventory is finite and future procurement is not guaranteed. Active status parts should be selected for designs with extended production lifespans.

Q: How do Category ratings (Cat3, Cat4) on some parts relate to the main RJE031660310? A: The main part does not specify a category rating. The Molex 0432026101 specifies Cat4 (supporting higher bandwidth), while other unshielded substitutes specify Cat3 (lower bandwidth rating). Category ratings do not affect mechanical compatibility but relate to electrical performance in data transmission applications. Application bandwidth requirements determine which category rating is appropriate.
