RJSNE538GA8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNE538GA8 is a shielded modular jack connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products), designed for 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) applications with 90° right-angle orientation. This connector features through-hole solder termination, EMI shielding with finger contacts, and dual LED indicators (Green, Orange). The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for ongoing procurement and design requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNE538GA8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Contact Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Method: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded, EMI Finger
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold with 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• LED Indicators: Green, Orange
• Tab Direction: Up and Down
• RoHS Compliance: Compliant

The RJSAE538GA8 meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the allowed parameter set, with the primary distinction being product status (obsolete versus active) and operating temperature range variance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538GA8 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete RJSNE538GA8. Selection of the RJSAE538GA8 is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The RJSAE538GA8 maintains active product status with Amphenol ICC, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The RJSNE538GA8 is classified as obsolete, making the RJSAE538GA8 the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The RJSAE538GA8 carries identical electrical and mechanical specifications as the main part across all provided parameters.

Operating Temperature Consideration: The RJSAE538GA8 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 70°C, compared to the RJSNE538GA8 range of -40°C ~ 85°C. Applications requiring operation above 70°C must evaluate this parameter against specific thermal requirements.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: The RJSAE538GA8 maintains identical contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), orientation (90° right-angle), termination method (solder), shielding (EMI finger), contact material (phosphor bronze), and gold finish thickness (50.0µin / 1.27µm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538GA8 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNE538GA8 in existing designs?

A: The RJSAE538GA8 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary consideration is the operating temperature range: RJSAE538GA8 operates to 70°C maximum, while RJSNE538GA8 operates to 85°C. Designs operating within the -40°C to 70°C range can use the RJSAE538GA8 without modification.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by equivalence in connector type (Jack), contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), orientation (90° right-angle), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), shielding (EMI finger), contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (gold, 50.0µin thickness), housing material (thermoplastic), LED indicators (green, orange), and RoHS compliance status.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RJSNE538GA8 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The RJSAE538GA8 is supplied in box packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

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

A: The RJSAE538GA8 maximum operating temperature is 70°C, while the RJSNE538GA8 maximum is 85°C. This 15°C difference may be relevant for applications with elevated ambient temperatures or high-current thermal environments. Verify your application's thermal profile against the 70°C maximum before selection.

Q: Are both parts manufactured by the same company?

A: Both the RJSNE538GA8 and RJSAE538GA8 are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products), ensuring consistent quality standards and design philosophy across the substitute relationship.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for the RJSAE538GA8?

A: The RJSAE538GA8 has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) listed as Not Applicable, compared to the RJSNE538GA8 MSL of 1 (Unlimited). This indicates different handling and storage requirements; confirm storage conditions with component documentation.
