RJSNE528608 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNE528608 is a modular jack connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products), designed for 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) applications with 90° right-angle orientation. This connector features through-hole solder termination and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for ongoing design support, maintenance, and procurement continuity. The RJSNE528608 remains available in inventory (1049 pcs), but alternative active-status components should be evaluated for new designs and long-term supply assurance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNE528608 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Positions/Contacts: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Tab Direction: Up and Down
• LED Color: Yellow - Yellow

Compatible Variation Parameters:

• Shielding: Unshielded variants are compatible with unshielded applications
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute parts with equal or extended temperature ranges are acceptable
• Product Status: Active-status substitutes are preferred for new designs and supply continuity

The RJSAE508608 qualifies as a substitute based on full alignment with all mandatory parameters and compatibility with the unshielded configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Existing Designs Using RJSNE528608:

The RJSAE508608 is a direct functional substitute. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) jack applications with 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination. The RJSAE508608 offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C) and includes a board lock feature. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical contact material, finish, and thickness specifications.

For New Designs:

The RJSAE508608 is the recommended selection due to its active product status. The RJSNE528608 is obsolete and should not be specified for new designs. The RJSAE508608 provides equivalent performance with enhanced supply continuity and the additional board lock feature.

Compliance and Certification:

Both parts are RoHS compliant, carry MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, ensuring regulatory and export compliance equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE508608 directly replace RJSNE528608 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The RJSAE508608 is mechanically and electrically compatible. Both connectors feature identical 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) jack configurations, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, and thermoplastic housing. Footprint and pin assignments are identical.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Product Status—RJSNE528608 is obsolete while RJSAE508608 is active; (2) Operating Temperature Range—RJSAE508608 extends to -55°C versus -40°C minimum; (3) Features—RJSAE508608 includes a board lock feature; (4) Shielding—RJSAE508608 is explicitly specified as unshielded. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Why should I use RJSAE508608 instead of RJSNE528608?

A: The RJSAE508608 has active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The RJSNE528608 is obsolete and subject to discontinuation. For new designs and ongoing production, the RJSAE508608 is the appropriate choice.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: The RJSNE528608 packaging is not specified in the data. The RJSAE508608 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both RJSNE528608 and RJSAE508608 are RoHS compliant with identical MSL rating 1 (unlimited). They share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.69.4040).

Q: What is the board lock feature on RJSAE508608?

A: The board lock feature is a mechanical retention mechanism that secures the connector to the PCB. This feature is present on RJSAE508608 but is not specified for RJSNE528608. Verify that your PCB design accommodates this feature if retrofitting existing boards.

Q: Can I use RJSAE508608 in applications requiring shielded connectors?

A: No. The RJSAE508608 is unshielded. If your application requires shielding, this substitute is not appropriate. Consult the original design specification for shielding requirements.
