Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538VA8 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete RJSNE538VA8. Both parts are RoHS compliant and manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) jack connectors.

Selection Basis:

The RJSAE538VA8 maintains full compatibility across all critical parameters: connector type, contact configuration, port count, row configuration, through-hole mounting, 90° right-angle orientation, solder termination, shielding with EMI finger, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, thermoplastic housing, LED indicators, and tab direction.

The RJSAE538VA8 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. This contrasts with the RJSNE538VA8, which is classified as obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

One operational consideration: the RJSAE538VA8 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, compared to the RJSNE538VA8 range of -40°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation above 70°C must evaluate this temperature differential against specific thermal requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538VA8 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNE538VA8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538VA8 matches all electrical and mechanical specifications of the RJSNE538VA8, including connector type, contact configuration, mounting method, orientation, termination, shielding, contact materials, and LED indicators. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and are RoHS compliant.

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

A: The RJSNE538VA8 is classified as obsolete, while the RJSAE538VA8 is active. Additionally, the RJSAE538VA8 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, whereas the RJSNE538VA8 operates from -40°C to 85°C.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB layouts or footprints?

A: No. Both parts share identical mounting specifications: through-hole solder termination, 90° right-angle orientation, 8-port configuration in a 2-row arrangement, and identical tab direction (up and down). PCB layouts designed for the RJSNE538VA8 accommodate the RJSAE538VA8 without modification.

Q: Does the RJSAE538VA8 include LED indicators?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538VA8 includes integrated LED indicators configured as Red and Green with Green display, matching the RJSNE538VA8 specification.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for the RJSAE538VA8?

A: The RJSAE538VA8 features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts with a finish thickness of 50.0µin (1.27µm), identical to the RJSNE538VA8.

Q: Is the RJSAE538VA8 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538VA8 is RoHS compliant, matching the compliance status of the RJSNE538VA8.
