Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNE538408 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack configuration required
• Contact Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) standard
• Orientation: 90° right-angle mounting
• Mounting Type: Through-hole PCB termination
• Termination Method: Solder connection
• Shielding: Shielded design with EMI finger
• Contact Material & Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold plating (50.0µin thickness)
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic construction
• Board Lock Feature: Required
• LED Indicator: Green - Yellow color
• RoHS Status: Compliant certification
• MSL Rating: Level 1

The RJSAE538408 meets all substitution criteria. While the RJSAE538408 operates across an extended lower temperature range (-55°C vs. -40°C), this represents an enhanced specification that maintains full compatibility with the original RJSNE538408 application envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538408 is the direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNE538408. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Selection Basis:

• Product Status: The RJSAE538408 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. The RJSNE538408 is obsolete and subject to discontinuation.
• Compliance: Both parts carry RoHS compliant certification and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, maintaining regulatory alignment.
• Temperature Performance: The RJSAE538408 extends the lower operating temperature limit to -55°C, providing enhanced performance margin without compromising upper temperature specifications.
• Functional Equivalence: All connector parameters—contact configuration, orientation, termination method, shielding design, contact materials, and finish specifications—are identical between the two parts.

The RJSAE538408 is suitable for direct substitution in all applications currently utilizing the RJSNE538408.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538408 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNE538408?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538408 is functionally equivalent to the RJSNE538408 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Both connectors feature identical 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) contact configurations, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielded design with EMI finger, and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. The RJSAE538408 is the active product replacement for the obsolete RJSNE538408.

Q: What is the difference between the RJSNE538408 and RJSAE538408?

A: The primary differences are product status and operating temperature range. The RJSNE538408 is obsolete with an operating range of -40°C to 85°C.
