Substitution of the obsolete RJSNE538K08 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Shielding type: Shielded with EMI finger
• Contact material and finish: Phosphor Bronze with gold plating (50.0µin thickness)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• LED color specification: Yellow - Green, Orange

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: Jack
• Mounting method: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination: Solder
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• Tab direction: Up and Down
• Port and row configuration: 8 ports, 2 rows

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Compliance status
• HTSUS classification: 8536.69.4040

The substitute part RJSAE538K08 maintains full equivalence across all specified electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. The primary distinction is product status: RJSNE538K08 is obsolete, while RJSAE538K08 is active in production.
