RJSNE508CA8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNE508CA8 is a modular jack connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) designed for 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) applications. This connector features a 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and unshielded construction with integrated LED indicators. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNE508CA8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Connector Type: Jack
Number of Positions/Contacts: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
Number of Ports: 8
Number of Rows: 2
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
Termination: Solder
Shielding: Unshielded
Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
Contact Finish: Gold
Contact Finish Thickness: 50.0µin (1.27µm)
Housing Material: Thermoplastic
LED Color: Red, Green - Green, Yellow
Tab Direction: Up and Down
RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant

The RJSAE508CA8 meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: RJSNE508CA8 is obsolete while RJSAE508CA8 is active, making the latter suitable for new production and long-term availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE508CA8 is the direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNE508CA8. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, termination method, and contact materials.

Selection Criteria:

For new designs and production: Use RJSAE508CA8. This part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts are RoHS Compliant and meet identical compliance requirements.

For legacy system maintenance: RJSNE508CA8 inventory remains available (789 Pcs New Original In Stock). However, transition to RJSAE508CA8 is recommended for future procurement due to active product status.

Operating Temperature Consideration: The RJSNE508CA8 operates across -40°C to 85°C, while the RJSAE508CA8 operates across -40°C to 70°C. Applications requiring operation above 70°C must retain the original RJSNE508CA8 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are RJSNE508CA8 and RJSAE508CA8 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) jack configuration with identical contact material (Phosphor Bronze), contact finish (Gold at 50.0µin thickness), and termination method (solder). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The RJSNE508CA8 is classified as obsolete, while the RJSAE508CA8 is active. The RJSNE508CA8 also supports a higher maximum operating temperature (85°C versus 70°C).

Q: Can RJSAE508CA8 be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application does not require operation above 70°C. All mechanical and electrical parameters are identical. PCB footprints and mounting requirements are equivalent.

Q: Are both parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. Both RJSNE508CA8 and RJSAE508CA8 are RoHS Compliant.

Q: What is the difference in LED indicator specifications?

A: Both parts feature identical LED color options: Red, Green and Green, Yellow configurations.

Q: Are the through-hole solder termination pads identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors use identical through-hole solder termination, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB designs without modification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: RJSNE508CA8 has MSL 1 (Unlimited). RJSAE508CA8 has MSL Not Applicable. Both are suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.
