RJSNE538C08 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNE538C08 is a modular jack connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) designed for 8-position 8-contact (8p8c) RJ45 Ethernet applications. This connector features a 90° right-angle orientation with shielding and EMI finger protection, suitable for through-hole solder termination on printed circuit boards.

The RJSNE538C08 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for new designs, production runs, and field replacements where the original part is no longer manufactured or stocked.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNE538C08 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Connector type must be Jack
• Contact configuration must be 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Port count must be 8
• Row configuration must be 2
• Mounting method must be Through Hole
• Orientation must be 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination method must be Solder
• Shielding must include EMI Finger protection
• Contact material must be Phosphor Bronze
• Contact finish must be Gold at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness
• Housing material must be Thermoplastic
• Operating temperature range must be -40°C ~ 85°C
• LED color options must include Red, Green - Green, Yellow
• Tab direction must be Up and Down

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS Compliant status required

The RJSAE538C08 meets all specified parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNE538C08.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538C08 is the direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNE538C08. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications.

Selection Basis:

The RJSAE538C08 maintains full compatibility with the RJSNE538C08 across all critical parameters: 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet jack configuration, 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination, shielded design with EMI finger protection, phosphor bronze contacts with 50.0µin gold plating, thermoplastic housing, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

The RJSAE538C08 carries an active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts are RoHS Compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements.

For new designs, production runs, and field replacements where the RJSNE538C08 is no longer available, the RJSAE538C08 provides direct functional and mechanical equivalence without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538C08 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNE538C08 without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538C08 is mechanically and electrically identical to the RJSNE538C08. Both connectors share the same through-hole footprint, solder termination points, 90° right-angle orientation, and all electrical specifications. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between the RJSNE538C08 and RJSAE538C08?
