Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNE538LA8 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 with 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant

The RJSAE538LA8 meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for the core connector interface, pin configuration, and environmental protection features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538LA8 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete RJSNE538LA8. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical specifications across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters.

Selection Criteria:

1. Product Status: The RJSNE538LA8 is obsolete. The RJSAE538LA8 is active and currently in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

2. Compliance: Both parts are RoHS Compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

3. Operating Temperature: The RJSNE538LA8 operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the RJSAE538LA8 operates from -40°C to 70°C. Applications requiring operation above 70°C must retain the original part or identify alternative solutions.

4. Inventory Status: The RJSAE538LA8 has 705 units in stock, providing immediate procurement availability.

For applications operating within the -40°C to 70°C temperature range, the RJSAE538LA8 provides full functional equivalence with the advantage of active product status and current manufacturing support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538LA8 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNE538LA8?

A: Yes, for applications operating within -40°C to 70°C. Both connectors share identical pin configurations, shielding characteristics, contact materials, and termination methods. The RJSAE538LA8 is the active equivalent of the obsolete RJSNE538LA8.

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

A: The primary difference is product status and operating temperature range. The RJSNE538LA8 is obsolete with an operating range of -40°C to 85°C. The RJSAE538LA8 is active with an operating range of -40°C to 70°C. All other specifications are identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and PCB footprints identical?

A: Both connectors feature identical mounting type (through hole), orientation (90° right angle), and housing material (thermoplastic). No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution within the specified temperature range.

Q: Does the RJSAE538LA8 maintain the same shielding and EMI protection?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature shielded construction with EMI finger protection, identical contact materials (phosphor bronze), and gold plating specifications (50.0µin / 1.27µm).

Q: What should I do if my application requires operation above 70°C?

A: Applications requiring sustained operation above 70°C must retain the original RJSNE538LA8 or identify alternative connector solutions rated for higher temperatures. The RJSAE538LA8 is not suitable for such applications.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNE538LA8 and RJSAE538LA8 are RoHS Compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.
