Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNE538P08 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Number of Ports: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded, EMI Finger
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Contact Finish Thickness: 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Tab Direction: Up and Down
• RoHS Compliance: Required

The RJSAE538P08 meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: RJSNE538P08 is obsolete, while RJSAE538P08 is active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538P08 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete RJSNE538P08. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Selection Basis:

The RJSAE538P08 is recommended for new designs and production applications because it is currently active in the product portfolio, ensuring long-term component availability and supply chain continuity. The RJSNE538P08, classified as obsolete, presents supply risk and should be replaced in active designs.

Both parts are RoHS Compliant and carry identical certifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4040). The substitution requires no design modifications, as all mechanical and electrical parameters are equivalent.

For existing designs currently using RJSNE538P08, direct replacement with RJSAE538P08 is supported without PCB layout changes or electrical circuit modifications.
