RJE071880310 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJE071880310 is an 8p8c (RJ45/Ethernet) modular jack connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC. This surface-mount, right-angle unshielded connector features solder termination, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, and board lock functionality. The connector operates across -40°C to 85°C and is RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent connectors share the same functional specifications: 8p8c contact configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, surface-mount design, solder termination, unshielded construction, and compatible operating temperature range. Alternatives are necessary to address inventory availability, lead time requirements, or procurement preferences while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJE071880310 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Jack
• Contact configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° right-angle
• Mounting type: Surface mount
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Operating temperature: -40°C to 85°C minimum
• Number of ports: 1
• Number of rows: 1
• Tab direction: Down

Acceptable Variations:

• Contact material (phosphor bronze vs. copper alloy)
• Contact finish thickness (30.0µin vs. flash)
• Housing material (thermoplastic vs. liquid crystal polymer)
• Packaging format (bulk vs. tape & reel)
• Specific RoHS revision (RoHS vs. ROHS3)
• Additional features (board lock vs. solder retention)

The substitute part 0855025008 (Molex 85502 series) meets all critical parameters and is therefore electrically and mechanically compatible with the RJE071880310.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RJE071880310 (Amphenol ICC RJE07 Series)

Select this part when:

• Amphenol ICC supply chain is preferred or established
• Thermoplastic housing material is specified in design requirements
• Phosphor bronze contact material is required
• Standard RoHS compliance is sufficient
• Bulk packaging format is acceptable

0855025008 (Molex 85502 Series)

Select this part when:

• Molex supply chain is preferred or established
• Higher inventory availability is required (16,573 pcs vs. 968 pcs)
• Tape & reel packaging format is required for automated assembly
• Liquid crystal polymer housing with glass fill is acceptable
• ROHS3 compliance is required
• Copper alloy contact material is acceptable
• Flash gold finish is acceptable

Both parts are active products with full RoHS compliance and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications. Selection between them is based on supply chain preference, packaging requirements, and material specifications rather than functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0855025008 directly replace the Amphenol ICC RJE071880310 on a PCB?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical critical specifications: 8p8c jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, surface-mount design, solder termination, unshielded construction, and -40°C to 85°C operating range. Footprint compatibility is ensured by matching mounting type, port count, row count, and tab direction.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: Differences exist in non-critical parameters: contact material (phosphor bronze vs. copper alloy), contact finish thickness (30.0µin vs. flash), housing material (thermoplastic vs. glass-filled LCP), packaging format (bulk vs. tape & reel), and RoHS revision (RoHS vs. ROHS3). These variations do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the housing material difference affect performance?

A: No. Both thermoplastic and glass-filled liquid crystal polymer housings meet the same functional requirements for this connector category. The glass-filled LCP in the Molex part provides enhanced mechanical properties but does not alter electrical performance or compatibility.

Q: Are the contact finishes equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold-plated contacts. The Amphenol ICC part specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, while the Molex part uses flash plating. Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity for this application.

Q: Which part should I choose for automated assembly?

A: The Molex 0855025008 is supplied in tape & reel (TR) packaging, which is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. The Amphenol ICC RJE071880310 packaging format is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC RJE071880310 is RoHS compliant, and the Molex 0855025008 is ROHS3 compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for lead-free and restricted substance compliance.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The Amphenol ICC RJE071880310 has 968 pcs in stock. The Molex 0855025008 has 16,573 pcs in stock. The Molex part offers significantly higher availability.

Q: Can I use these connectors in Cat5e or Cat6 applications?

A: The Molex 0855025008 is rated for Cat3. The Amphenol ICC RJE071880310 ratings are not specified in the provided data. For Cat5e or Cat6 applications, verify that the selected connector meets the required category rating.

Q: Are there any lead time considerations?

A: Lead time information is not provided in the available data. Contact your supplier for current lead time estimates for both parts.
