The RJSAE538HA8 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete RJSNE538HA8.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538HA8 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete RJSNE538HA8. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, shielding, termination method, and material composition.

Selection Basis:

1. Product Status: The RJSAE538HA8 is classified as active, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete RJSNE538HA8.

2. Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and production.

3. Functional Equivalence: All mandatory parameters match exactly, confirming direct interchangeability in through-hole PCB applications requiring 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet connectivity with right-angle shielded configuration.

4. Operating Temperature Consideration: The RJSAE538HA8 operates within -40°C to 70°C, compared to the main part's -40°C to 85°C range. Applications requiring operation above 70°C must be evaluated against actual thermal requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538HA8 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNE538HA8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538HA8 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the RJSNE538HA8, including connector type, contact configuration, shielding, termination method, and material specifications. No design modifications are required for PCB layout or assembly processes.

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

A: The RJSNE538HA8 is obsolete, while the RJSAE538HA8 is an active product from the same manufacturer. The RJSAE538HA8 also has a narrower operating temperature range (-40°C to 70°C versus -40°C to 85°C).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the operating temperature difference?

A: The RJSAE538HA8 operates to 70°C maximum. Applications requiring sustained operation above 70°C must confirm that actual thermal conditions remain within this limit. For applications originally designed for the full -40°C to 85°C range, verify that the narrower upper temperature limit of the substitute does not conflict with system thermal requirements.

Q: Do both parts have the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical through-hole mounting configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, and tab direction (up and down), ensuring identical PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNE538HA8 and RJSAE538HA8 are RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and assembly.

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

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