RJSNE538TA8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNE538TA8 is a shielded modular jack connector (RJ45/8p8c Ethernet) manufactured by Amphenol ICC with 90° right-angle orientation and through-hole solder termination. The product is obsolete, necessitating identification of compatible substitute components for ongoing design and production requirements. The primary substitute maintains functional equivalence across critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RJSNE538TA8 has one direct substitute: RJSAE538TA8. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must align between the obsolete component and its replacement:

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

• Connector type (Jack modular 8p8c/RJ45)
• Orientation (90° right-angle)
• Mounting configuration (Through hole, solder termination)
• Electrical properties (Shielding with EMI finger, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish)
• Physical form factor (2 rows, 8 ports, thermoplastic housing)
• LED indicator configuration (Red - Red)
• Tab direction orientation (Up and Down)

The RJSAE538TA8 maintains full compatibility across all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Secondary differences in operating temperature range and product status (active vs. obsolete) do not affect functional interchangeability for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538TA8 is the direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNE538TA8. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all connector parameters, including shielding, contact materials, termination method, and physical form factor. The substitute component maintains active product status, ensuring availability through standard distribution channels and long-term supply chain continuity.

Both components demonstrate RoHS compliance, supporting compliance requirements for regulated applications. The operating temperature range difference (-40°C ~ 70°C for RJSAE538TA8 versus -40°C ~ 85°C for RJSNE538TA8) applies to specific thermal environment applications; selection should be based on actual operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538TA8 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNE538TA8? A: Yes. The RJSAE538TA8 maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence across all connector specifications, including pin configuration, shielding, contact materials, and mounting geometry. Both are 8p8c RJ45 jacks with identical 90° right-angle orientation and solder termination.

Q: What is the primary difference between these components? A: The main differences are product status (RJSNE538TA8 is obsolete; RJSAE538TA8 is active) and operating temperature range (RJSNE538TA8 rated to 85°C; RJSAE538TA8 rated to 70°C). Connector functionality and specifications are equivalent.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both RJSNE538TA8 and RJSAE538TA8 are RoHS compliant, supporting compliance requirements for regulated electronic applications.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connectors support? A: Both are through-hole components with solder termination, designed for PCB mounting with vertical or angular orientation flexibility (tab direction: up and down).

Q: Do these connectors include LED indicators? A: Yes. Both components feature integrated LED indicators configured as Red - Red, supporting link and activity status indication in network applications.
