Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNE538608 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded, EMI Finger
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold, 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RJSAE538608 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete RJSNE538608.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538608 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete RJSNE538608. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Selection Basis:
