Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RJSNE508608 has a direct substitute in the RJSAE508608. Substitution between these parts is based strictly on the following key parameters being identical:

• Configuration: Both are 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) connectors
• Orientation: Both feature 90° right-angle mounting
• Connector Type: Both are Jack modular connectors
• Mounting Type: Both use through-hole solder termination
• Shielding: Both are unshielded designs
• Contact Material: Both utilize phosphor bronze contacts
• Contact Finish: Both have gold plating at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness
• LED Color: Both include yellow-yellow LED indicators
• Tab Direction: Both feature up and down tab orientation
• Housing Material: Both use thermoplastic housing
• Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating

The substitute part RJSAE508608 is offered in tray packaging and includes an additional board lock feature not present in the original RJSNE508608.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSNE508608 is classified as obsolete and should be replaced with the RJSAE508608 for new designs and future procurement. Both parts maintain functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring drop-in compatibility for existing applications.

The RJSAE508608 offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C) provides greater environmental robustness
• Board lock feature enhances mechanical retention on printed circuit boards
• RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating, identical to the original part

Both parts carry identical electrical specifications, contact finish thickness, and connector configuration. The RJSAE508608 is suitable for direct substitution in applications currently using the RJSNE508608.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the RJSNE508608 and RJSAE508608 physically compatible? A: Yes. Both connectors share identical external dimensions, mounting footprint, through-hole solder termination points, and connector configuration. Physical compatibility is guaranteed for PCB assembly.

Q: What is the difference between the RJSNE and RJSAE series? A: The RJSAE508608 includes a board lock feature for enhanced mechanical retention compared to the RJSNE508608. Functionally, both deliver identical electrical performance and RJ45 connectivity.

Q: Can the RJSAE508608 operate at lower temperatures than the RJSNE508608? A: Yes. The RJSAE508608 supports an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C, compared to -40°C to 85°C for the RJSNE508608. This provides additional temperature margin for demanding applications.

Q: Why is the RJSNE508608 obsolete? A: The RJSNE508608 has been superseded by the RJSAE508608. Amphenol ICC recommends transitioning to the RJSAE508608 for new designs. The RJSAE series offers improved functionality while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both the RJSNE508608 and RJSAE508608 are RoHS compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.

Q: Does the board lock feature affect electrical performance? A: No. The board lock feature on the RJSAE508608 is a mechanical retention enhancement and does not alter electrical specifications or signal integrity characteristics.

Q: What packaging is available for each part? A: The RJSNE508608 packaging is not specified. The RJSAE508608 is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for modular connector components.
