Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNE528M08 is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Contact Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Method: Solder
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold (50.0µin / 1.27µm)
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1

Allowable Variations:

• LED Color: May differ (original: Red-Yellow; substitute may have Red-Green)
• Shielding: Original unspecified; substitute may be Unshielded
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute may have extended lower limit (-55°C vs. -40°C)
• Product Status: Substitute may be Active (original is Obsolete)
• Additional Features: Substitute may include Board Lock feature

The RJSAE508708 meets all mandatory matching parameters and represents a direct functional equivalent with enhanced specifications in operating temperature range and additional mechanical features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RJSAE508708 as Primary Substitute:

The RJSAE508708 is the designated equivalent for the obsolete RJSNE528M08. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 8p8c RJ45 configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, phosphor bronze gold-plated contacts, and thermoplastic housing.

The RJSAE508708 offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: Currently in production and available through authorized distributors, ensuring long-term supply chain continuity.
• Extended Operating Temperature Range: Rated to -55°C (versus -40°C), providing broader environmental compatibility.
• Board Lock Feature: Includes mechanical retention enhancement for improved connector stability.
• Compliance Alignment: Maintains identical RoHS compliance, MSL rating, ECCN classification, and HTSUS coding.

The LED color difference (Red-Green versus Red-Yellow) and unshielded designation do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard 8p8c Ethernet jack applications. Both connectors are suitable for direct PCB footprint replacement without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE508708 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNE528M08 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical through-hole mounting patterns, solder termination requirements, and mechanical dimensions. No PCB redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the LED color difference between the two connectors?

A: LED color serves as a visual indicator only and does not affect electrical performance or signal integrity. The RJSNE528M08 features Red-Yellow LEDs, while the RJSAE508708 features Red-Green LEDs. Selection between them depends on system-level indicator requirements, not connector functionality.

Q: Does the "Unshielded" designation of the RJSAE508708 affect compatibility?

A: The RJSNE528M08 does not specify shielding status in the provided data. The RJSAE508708 is explicitly unshielded. For applications requiring electromagnetic shielding, verify that the original design did not depend on shielded construction. Standard 8p8c Ethernet applications typically function without shielding.

Q: Why is the RJSNE528M08 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Amphenol ICC. The RJSAE508708 represents the current production equivalent and is recommended for all new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there any temperature-related limitations when substituting the RJSAE508708?

A: The RJSAE508708 has an extended lower operating temperature limit (-55°C versus -40°C). This represents an improvement and poses no compatibility risk. If the original design operated within -40°C to 85°C, the substitute will perform identically or better across that range.

Q: What is the Board Lock feature on the RJSAE508708?

A: Board Lock is a mechanical retention feature that provides additional connector stability on the PCB. This feature does not affect electrical compatibility and enhances mechanical robustness compared to the original part.

Q: Are packaging differences significant for procurement?

A: The RJSNE528M08 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The RJSAE508708 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm tray packaging is acceptable for your assembly process. Both parts maintain identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity, requiring no special storage precautions.
