Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNE538B08 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded, EMI Finger
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Features: Board Lock
• LED Color: Red, Green - Red, Green
• Tab Direction: Up and Down
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RJSAE538B08 qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all mandatory parameters. Variations in product status (Obsolete vs. Active) and operating temperature range do not disqualify substitution when all electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538B08 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete RJSNE538B08. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Compliance Status: Both parts are RoHS Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ensuring regulatory compliance and handling flexibility.

Product Status Consideration: The RJSAE538B08 carries Active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the Obsolete RJSNE538B08.

Operating Temperature: The RJSAE538B08 extends the lower operating temperature limit to -55°C (versus -40°C for the RJSNE538B08), providing enhanced performance in cold-environment applications while maintaining the upper limit of 85°C.

Packaging: The RJSAE538B08 is supplied in Tray packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging configuration. Verify packaging requirements for your specific assembly process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538B08 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNE538B08 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538B08 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the RJSNE538B08, including connector type, pin configuration, orientation, termination method, shielding, contact materials, and finish specifications. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference?

A: The RJSAE538B08 supports operation from -55°C to 85°C, compared to -40°C to 85°C for the RJSNE538B08. This extended lower temperature range provides additional capability for cold-environment applications. Both parts maintain identical performance within the overlapping temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Q: Does the Tray packaging of the RJSAE538B08 affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Tray packaging is a logistics consideration for component handling and assembly processes. Verify that your assembly equipment and procedures accommodate Tray packaging if transitioning from the original part's packaging format.

Q: Why is the RJSNE538B08 listed as Obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The RJSAE538B08, as an Active product from the same manufacturer, provides continuity for applications requiring 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet jack connectors with right-angle orientation and shielding.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts utilize identical contact materials (Phosphor Bronze), finish specifications (Gold, 50.0µin thickness), and shielding configurations (Shielded with EMI Finger). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the RJSNE538B08 and RJSAE538B08 are RoHS Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Both carry ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040.
