Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNE528208 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Jack
• Contact configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° right-angle
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• LED indicator: Green
• Tab direction: Up and down
• RoHS compliance status

Allowable Variations:

• Product status (obsolete to active)
• Operating temperature range (within acceptable limits)
• Shielding configuration (unshielded variant acceptable for unshielded applications)
• Packaging format (tray vs. standard)
• Additional features (board lock mechanism)

The RJSAE508208 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters while offering active product status and extended temperature range capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE508208 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete RJSNE528208 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The RJSAE508208 maintains active product status with Amphenol ICC, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and supply chain reliability for new designs and production requirements.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status and Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1), ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility across applications.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: The substitute part matches all critical connector specifications including contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), orientation (90° right-angle), termination method (solder), contact materials (phosphor bronze with 50.0µin gold plating), and housing composition (thermoplastic).

Temperature Performance: The RJSAE508208 provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) compared to the main part (-40°C to 85°C), offering improved performance in low-temperature environments without compromising high-temperature operation.

Functional Features: The substitute incorporates a board lock mechanism as an additional feature while maintaining all primary connector functionality and LED indicator specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE508208 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNE528208 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE508208 matches all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, orientation, mounting method, termination type, contact materials, and finish specifications. The parts are functionally equivalent for 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet applications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to active?

A: Active product status indicates that the RJSAE508208 is currently manufactured and supported by Amphenol ICC. This ensures availability for procurement, ongoing manufacturing support, and compliance with current industry standards. The obsolete status of the RJSNE528208 indicates it is no longer in production.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges between these parts?

A: Yes. The RJSAE508208 operates from -55°C to 85°C, while the RJSNE528208 operates from -40°C to 85°C. The substitute part provides extended low-temperature capability. Both parts maintain the same upper temperature limit.

Q: What does the board lock feature on the RJSAE508208 provide?

A: The board lock mechanism is an additional mechanical feature that provides enhanced retention of the connector to the printed circuit board during assembly and operation. This feature does not affect electrical compatibility or pin configuration.

Q: Are the packaging formats interchangeable between these parts?

A: The RJSNE528208 packaging is not specified in the documentation, while the RJSAE508208 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or electrical performance. Verify packaging requirements for your specific procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts maintain the same RoHS compliance status?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNE528208 and RJSAE508208 are RoHS compliant with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited). They meet the same environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Is the unshielded configuration of the RJSAE508208 compatible with shielded applications?

A: The RJSAE508208 is specified as unshielded. Application compatibility depends on electromagnetic interference requirements of your specific design. For applications requiring shielding, verify that unshielded operation meets your EMI/RFI specifications.
