Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNE5F84A8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Jack
• Contact configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° angle (right)
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination method: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact finish: Gold at 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS compliance: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RJSAE538408 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete RJSNE5F84A8.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538408 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete RJSNE5F84A8. Selection of the RJSAE538408 is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The RJSAE538408 is classified as an active product, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The RJSNE5F84A8 is obsolete and no longer manufactured.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical specifications across all critical parameters including contact configuration, orientation, termination method, contact material, finish thickness, and housing material. The RJSAE538408 incorporates an EMI finger in addition to standard shielding, providing enhanced electromagnetic interference protection.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited), ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

Operating Temperature: The RJSAE538408 extends the lower operating temperature limit to -55°C compared to the RJSNE5F84A8 at -40°C, providing broader thermal operating range without compromising upper temperature performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538408 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNE5F84A8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538408 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the RJSNE5F84A8. Both connectors feature identical 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) contact configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, phosphor bronze contacts with 50.0µin gold finish, and board lock functionality. The RJSAE538408 is pin-compatible and footprint-compatible with the RJSNE5F84A8.

Q: What is the difference between the shielding in these two connectors?

A: The RJSNE5F84A8 features standard shielding. The RJSAE538408 includes shielding with an EMI finger, which provides additional electromagnetic interference suppression. This enhancement does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: Are there any temperature-related limitations when substituting the RJSAE538408 for the RJSNE5F84A8?

A: No. The RJSAE538408 operates across -55°C to 85°C, which encompasses the -40°C to 85°C range of the RJSNE5F84A8. The substitute part supports all temperature conditions of the original part and extends the lower temperature limit.

Q: Do both connectors have the same packaging?

A: The RJSNE5F84A8 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The RJSAE538408 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging differences do not affect connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNE5F84A8 and RJSAE538408 are RoHS compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: Why is the RJSNE5F84A8 marked as obsolete?

A: The RJSNE5F84A8 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The RJSAE538408 is the active equivalent product and is recommended for all new designs and field replacements.
