Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNE538008 is determined by strict equivalence across 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
• Shielding: Shielded, EMI Finger
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold with 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Features: Board Lock
• Tab Direction: Up and Down
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RJSAE538008 meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: RJSNE538008 is obsolete, while RJSAE538008 is active, making RJSAE538008 the recommended selection for ongoing production and new designs.
