Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RJSNE528008 can be substituted with the RJSAE538008 based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters that are preserved in the substitute:

Maintained Parameters:

• Connector type: Jack modular connector
• Contact configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting: Through Hole, Solder termination
• Contact material and finish: Phosphor Bronze with gold plating (50.0µin)
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• Operating temperature range: Sufficient overlap (-55°C ~ 85°C for substitute)
• Compliance: RoHS Compliant, MSL 1

Differences in Substitute:

• RJSAE538008 includes shielding with EMI Finger and Board Lock feature
• Operating temperature range extended to -55°C (lower bound)
• Product status: Active versus Obsolete

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538008 is suitable as a direct substitute for the RJSNE528008 when maintaining 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet modular jack connector functionality with 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating.

The RJSAE538008 offers active product status with ongoing manufacturer support, addressing the obsolete classification of the RJSNE528008. The addition of shielding with EMI Finger and Board Lock feature in the RJSAE538008 provides enhanced electromagnetic interference rejection and mechanical board retention, which may be advantageous in noise-sensitive applications without introducing incompatibility for unshielded circuit designs.

The operating temperature range of the RJSAE538008 extends the lower bound to -55°C, providing wider environmental operability while maintaining the upper limit at 85°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes RJSAE538008 compatible with RJSNE528008?

A: Both connectors maintain identical 8p8c contact configuration, RJ45 Ethernet pinout, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and phosphor bronze gold-plated contacts. Physical and electrical interface compatibility is preserved.

Q: What is the difference between the shielded and unshielded versions?

A: The RJSAE538008 includes electromagnetic shielding with EMI Finger design and Board Lock feature. Unshielded RJSNE528008 lacks these additions. The shielded variant provides improved EMI/RFI rejection for use in electromagnetically demanding environments without affecting pin-to-pin compatibility.

Q: Are there temperature range considerations?

A: The RJSAE538008 extends the minimum operating temperature to -55°C compared to -40°C for RJSNE528008. Both share a maximum operating temperature of 85°C. Substitution is valid across the overlapping temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for both parts?

A: Both the RJSNE528008 and RJSAE538008 carry RoHS Compliant status, meeting Directive 2011/65/EU lead-free material requirements. This certification ensures regulatory compliance for EU-distributed applications and equivalent jurisdictions.

Q: What is MSL 1 rating and why does it matter?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 rating indicates unlimited moisture exposure without reflow requirements. Both parts can be stored and handled under standard ambient conditions without specialized dry-pack storage or reflow time limitations, simplifying supply chain logistics.

Q: What is the Board Lock feature on the RJSAE538008?

A: Board Lock is a mechanical retention feature that anchors the connector to the circuit board during installation and in-service operation, reducing mechanical stress on solder joints and improving long-term reliability. The RJSNE528008 does not include this feature.
