RJSNE528G08

Part Overview

The RJSNE528G08 is a jack modular connector conforming to the 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) standard, manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This connector features a 90° right-angle orientation with through-hole solder termination. The product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of suitable substitute components for ongoing applications and new designs. The RJSAE538G08 has been identified as a direct functional substitute with enhanced shielding characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RJSAE538G08 qualifies as a functional substitute for the RJSNE528G08 based on compatibility across core electrical and mechanical parameters. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, contact count (8p8c RJ45), port configuration, through-hole mounting, 90° right-angle orientation, solder termination, contact material, contact finish, housing material, LED indicator colors, and tab direction. The operating temperature range for RJSAE538G08 extends to -55°C (compared to -40°C minimum for RJSNE528G08), providing broader thermal operability. Both components are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1. The primary distinction is the addition of shielding with EMI finger protection in the RJSAE538G08, which enhances electromagnetic interference suppression without affecting mechanical or pin compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using the obsolete RJSNE528G08, the RJSAE538G08 is the recommended substitute. Both components are RoHS compliant and feature identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings, ensuring regulatory and handling compatibility. The RJSAE538G08 maintains all mechanical and electrical pin compatibility while introducing shielded construction with EMI finger protection. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C lower limit versus -40°C) of the RJSAE538G08 provides improved thermal margin for demanding applications. As an active product from the same manufacturer, the RJSAE538G08 offers superior supply chain availability and long-term support compared to the obsolete RJSNE528G08.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the RJSNE528G08 and RJSAE538G08 pin-compatible? A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) contact configurations with 8 ports arranged in 2 rows. Pin assignments and solder pad layouts are compatible for direct replacement in through-hole applications.

Q: What is the primary functional difference between these connectors? A: The RJSAE538G08 incorporates shielding with EMI finger protection, whereas the RJSNE528G08 is unshielded. This shielding enhancement reduces electromagnetic interference susceptibility without affecting mechanical fit or electrical performance.

Q: Can the RJSAE538G08 be used as a drop-in replacement? A: Yes. The RJSAE538G08 is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct board-level substitution. The shielding feature requires no additional design modifications or PCB layout changes.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference? A: The RJSNE528G08 operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the RJSAE538G08 extends the lower temperature limit to -55°C. Both share the same 85°C upper limit.

Q: How does packaging differ between these parts? A: The RJSNE528G08 does not specify a packaging format in available documentation. The RJSAE538G08 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both the RJSNE528G08 and RJSAE538G08 are RoHS compliant and carry the same Moisture Sensitivity Level rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Should I select the shielded or unshielded variant? A: If EMI suppression is required for signal integrity, select the shielded RJSAE538G08. For applications without EMI requirements, both variants are functionally equivalent. Design specifications should dictate the selection.
