RJSNE508MA8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNE508MA8 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, through-hole solder termination, and unshielded construction with integrated red-yellow LED indicators. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for new designs and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNE508MA8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Contact material and finish: Phosphor Bronze with 50.0µin gold plating
• Shielding type: Unshielded
• LED indicator color: Red - Yellow

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: Jack
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination method: Solder
• Tab direction: Up and Down
• Housing material: Thermoplastic

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Compliance: Required
• Operating temperature overlap within specified ranges

Substitute parts must match all electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in product status (obsolete vs. active) and operating temperature maximum ratings do not preclude substitution when the substitute part's temperature range encompasses the application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE508MA8 is a direct functional equivalent to the RJSNE508MA8 for applications operating within the -40°C to 70°C temperature range. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including contact configuration, termination method, orientation, and LED indicators.

Selection Basis:

The RJSAE508MA8 is recommended as the primary substitute due to its active product status, which ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support. The part maintains full compatibility with the RJSNE508MA8 across all electrical and mechanical interfaces. Both parts carry RoHS Compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements.

The operating temperature maximum of 70°C for the RJSAE508MA8 represents a reduction from the RJSNE508MA8's 85°C rating. Applications requiring sustained operation above 70°C must retain the original RJSNE508MA8 specification or identify alternative solutions outside the provided substitute list.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE508MA8 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNE508MA8 in existing designs?

A: The RJSAE508MA8 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the RJSNE508MA8 for applications operating within -40°C to 70°C. If your application operates within this temperature range, the RJSAE508MA8 provides direct substitution. Applications requiring operation above 70°C require evaluation against the original specification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and maximum operating temperature. The RJSNE508MA8 is obsolete with a maximum operating temperature of 85°C, while the RJSAE508MA8 is active with a maximum operating temperature of 70°C. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the RJSNE508MA8 and RJSAE508MA8 are RoHS Compliant.

Q: Do these connectors have the same footprint and mounting requirements?

A: Yes, both parts feature identical through-hole mounting, 90° right-angle orientation, and solder termination. PCB layout and mounting hole patterns are compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the LED indicators on these connectors?

A: Both parts include integrated red-yellow LED indicators for link and activity status in Ethernet applications. The LED color specification is identical across both parts.

Q: Can I use the RJSNE508MA8 if the RJSAE508MA8 is unavailable?

A: The RJSNE508MA8 is classified as obsolete, which typically indicates limited or no availability from manufacturers. The RJSAE508MA8 is the active equivalent and should be prioritized for new designs and production orders.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations for these parts?

A: The RJSNE508MA8 carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The RJSAE508MA8 is listed as Not Applicable for MSL, which is consistent with the connector type and does not present compatibility issues.
