Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNE5388A8 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the modular connector category. The substitute part RJSAE5388A8 maintains compatibility through identical specifications in the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) contact configuration
• Phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish (50.0µin thickness)
• Shielded design with EMI finger protection
• Green-Red LED indicator configuration

Mechanical Compatibility:

• 90° right-angle orientation
• Through-hole solder termination
• Thermoplastic housing
• Up and down tab direction
• 8 ports in 2-row configuration

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS Compliant status
• Identical HTSUS classification (8536.69.4040)

The RJSAE5388A8 is an active product, providing continuity for applications currently using the obsolete RJSNE5388A8.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE5388A8 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNE5388A8 based on functional and regulatory equivalence. Both parts are RoHS Compliant and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 8p8c modular jack connector category.

Selection Criteria:

The RJSAE5388A8 is suitable for applications currently specified with RJSNE5388A8 where the operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C satisfies application requirements. Applications requiring operation above 70°C must evaluate alternative solutions, as the substitute part has a maximum operating temperature 15°C lower than the original part.

The active product status of RJSAE5388A8 ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE5388A8 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNE5388A8?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the -40°C to 70°C temperature range. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent 8p8c shielded modular jack connectors with identical contact configurations, termination methods, and LED indicator specifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The RJSNE5388A8 is obsolete, while RJSAE5388A8 is an active product. Additionally, the RJSNE5388A8 supports operation to 85°C, whereas the RJSAE5388A8 operates to 70°C maximum.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and PCB footprints identical?

A: Both parts share identical mounting specifications: through-hole solder termination, 90° right-angle orientation, and 2-row configuration. Physical compatibility is maintained for PCB layout purposes.

Q: Do both parts have the same LED indicator configuration?

A: Yes, both the RJSNE5388A8 and RJSAE5388A8 feature Green-Red LED indicators with identical tab direction (up and down).

Q: What is the contact finish specification for both parts?

A: Both parts use gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with a finish thickness of 50.0µin (1.27µm), ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS Compliant and share the same HTSUS classification (8536.69.4040). No compliance differences exist between the two parts.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The RJSAE5388A8 should be specified for new designs due to its active product status and ongoing manufacturer support. The RJSNE5388A8 is obsolete and should not be used for new applications.
