Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete RJSNE538M08 is determined by strict compliance with the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Must be Jack, 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) contact arrangement
• Physical Orientation: Must maintain 90° right-angle mounting
• Port and Row Configuration: Must provide 8 ports in 2-row layout
• Mounting and Termination: Must support through-hole, solder termination
• Shielding and EMI Protection: Must feature shielded design with EMI finger
• Contact Specifications: Phosphor bronze material with gold plating (50.0µin minimum)
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic construction
• Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature -40°C ~ 85°C minimum range
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant required

The substitute part RJSAE538M08 meets all specified parameters, providing functional and electrical equivalency for direct replacement in existing circuit designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSNE538M08 is classified as obsolete and should be replaced with RJSAE538M08 for ongoing design work and new production orders. RJSAE538M08 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while carrying active product status with Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). Both parts are RoHS compliant and support the same operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), ensuring regulatory compliance for industrial and commercial Ethernet networking applications. The substitute part offers continued manufacturing support and supply chain availability advantages over the discontinued RJSNE538M08 series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538M08 directly replace RJSNE538M08 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (Jack, 8p8c RJ45), orientation (90° right-angle), contact configuration, shielding specifications, and operating temperature ratings. Direct substitution is supported without circuit design modifications.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between the two parts? A: RJSNE538M08 is unspecified for packaging, while RJSAE538M08 is supplied in Box packaging. This difference affects only supplier logistics and inventory handling, not component functionality or performance.

Q: What are the critical parameters for RJ45 Ethernet jack substitution? A: The following parameters must remain identical for functional substitution: 8p8c contact configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielded design with EMI finger, phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating, and operating temperature range. Deviations in any parameter require engineering review.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both RJSNE538M08 and RJSAE538M08 are RoHS compliant, supporting regulatory requirements for industrial, commercial, and consumer applications.

Q: What is the contact finish specification, and is it consistent across both parts? A: Both parts feature gold plating at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness on phosphor bronze contacts. This specification ensures consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance across substitutions.

Q: Why is RJSNE538M08 marked as obsolete? A: Manufacturers discontinue part numbers for various business reasons. The active substitute RJSAE538M08 from the same manufacturer ensures continued access to equivalent connectivity components with ongoing supply support.
