Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNE538BA8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Contact Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Number of Ports: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination Method: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded, EMI Finger
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS Compliance: Compliant

The RJSAE538BA8 qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with these parameters. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for the core connector interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538BA8 is the direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNE538BA8. Both connectors meet RoHS compliance requirements and share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications.

Selection Basis:

1. Product Status: The RJSAE538BA8 maintains active product status with Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products), ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support compared to the obsolete RJSNE538BA8.

2. Compliance: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The RJSAE538BA8 carries MSL Not Applicable status, while the RJSNE538BA8 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited). This difference does not affect substitution eligibility for standard applications.

3. Operating Temperature: The RJSAE538BA8 operates within -40°C ~ 70°C, compared to the RJSNE538BA8 range of -40°C ~ 85°C. Applications requiring operation above 70°C must evaluate this parameter against specific design requirements.

4. Mechanical and Electrical Equivalence: All critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, mounting orientation, termination method, shielding, and contact materials are identical between both parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538BA8 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNE538BA8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538BA8 is mechanically and electrically equivalent to the RJSNE538BA8 across all interface specifications. Both connectors feature identical 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) contact configurations, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and EMI finger shielding.

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

A: The RJSNE538BA8 is obsolete, while the RJSAE538BA8 is an active product. The RJSAE538BA8 also has a narrower operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 70°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). Applications operating above 70°C must evaluate this specification against design requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the RJSNE538BA8 and RJSAE538BA8?

A: The RJSAE538BA8 is packaged in boxes. Packaging specifications for the RJSNE538BA8 were not provided in the available data. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do both connectors support LED indicators?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNE538BA8 and RJSAE538BA8 include Red and Green LED indicators for network status signaling.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNE538BA8 and RJSAE538BA8 are RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial applications.

Q: What contact material and finish are used in both connectors?

A: Both connectors use phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness, ensuring reliable electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
