• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Tab Direction: Up and Down
• LED Color: Red - Yellow

The RJSAE538MA8 meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent for the obsolete RJSNE538MA8.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538MA8 is the direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNE538MA8. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The RJSAE538MA8 carries an active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and production environments.

The operating temperature range differs between the two parts: the RJSNE538MA8 operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the RJSAE538MA8 operates from -40°C to 70°C. Applications requiring operation above 70°C must evaluate this temperature differential against specific system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538MA8 directly replace the RJSNE538MA8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538MA8 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the RJSNE538MA8, including connector type, pin configuration, mounting method, orientation, termination style, shielding, contact materials, and finish specifications. Direct substitution is supported for applications operating within the RJSAE538MA8 temperature range.

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

A: The primary difference is product status and operating temperature range. The RJSNE538MA8 is obsolete with a maximum operating temperature of 85°C, while the RJSAE538MA8 is active with a maximum operating temperature of 70°C. Both parts are otherwise electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the RJSNE538MA8 and RJSAE538MA8?

A: The RJSAE538MA8 is packaged in boxes. Packaging specifications for the RJSNE538MA8 were not provided in the available documentation.

Q: Do both connectors support the same LED indicator colors?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNE538MA8 and RJSAE538MA8 feature Red-Yellow LED indicators.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNE538MA8 and RJSAE538MA8 are RoHS compliant.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: These connectors are designed for shielded Ethernet (RJ45, 8p8c) applications requiring right-angle PCB mounting with through-hole solder termination. The shielding and EMI finger design provide electromagnetic interference protection for network connectivity applications.
