RJSNE508008 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNE508008 is a modular jack connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) designed for 8-position 8-contact (8p8c) RJ45 Ethernet applications. This connector features a 90° right-angle orientation with through-hole solder termination and unshielded construction. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain functional and electrical compatibility for new designs and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RJSNE508008 has one direct substitute: RJSAE508008. Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Both are jack connectors
• Contact Configuration: Both are 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) with 8 ports and 2 rows
• Orientation: Both feature 90° right-angle mounting
• Mounting Method: Both use through-hole solder termination
• Shielding: Both are unshielded
• Contact Material and Finish: Both use phosphor bronze with gold plating at 50.0µin thickness
• Housing Material: Both use thermoplastic construction
• Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating

The RJSAE508008 is an active product with enhanced features (board lock mechanism) and an extended lower operating temperature limit (-55°C vs. -40°C), making it suitable for replacement in applications requiring the RJSNE508008.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE508008 is the direct active substitute for the obsolete RJSNE508008. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including contact configuration, termination method, material composition, and compliance certifications.

Selection of RJSAE508008 is appropriate for:

• New product designs requiring 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet jack connectors with 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination
• Replacement of RJSNE508008 in existing applications where product continuity is required
• Applications operating within the -40°C to 85°C temperature range, with extended capability to -55°C
• Designs requiring RoHS compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating

The RJSAE508008 includes a board lock feature not present in the RJSNE508008, providing enhanced mechanical retention on printed circuit boards. This addition does not affect electrical compatibility and represents an improvement in mechanical robustness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE508008 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNE508008?

A: Yes. The RJSAE508008 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RJSNE508008 across all specified parameters. Both connectors are 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet jacks with identical contact configuration, gold plating, termination method, and operating temperature range within the RJSNE508008 specification (-40°C to 85°C).

Q: What is the difference between RJSNE508008 and RJSAE508008?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. RJSNE508008 is obsolete; RJSAE508008 is active. RJSAE508008 includes a board lock feature for enhanced mechanical retention and has an extended lower operating temperature limit (-55°C vs. -40°C). RJSAE508008 is supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting RJSAE508008 for RJSNE508008?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications, contact materials, gold plating thickness, housing materials, and solder termination characteristics. The board lock feature on RJSAE508008 provides additional mechanical security without affecting electrical performance.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each connector?

A: RJSNE508008 operates from -40°C to 85°C. RJSAE508008 operates from -55°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C must use RJSAE508008.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RJSNE508008 and RJSAE508008 are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: RJSNE508008 packaging is not specified in available documentation. RJSAE508008 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used in shielded applications?

A: No. Both RJSNE508008 and RJSAE508008 are unshielded connectors. Applications requiring electromagnetic shielding require alternative connector designs.
