RJSNE5F85A8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNE5F85A8 is a modular jack connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products), designed for 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) applications with 90° right-angle orientation and shielding. This connector features through-hole solder termination, board lock functionality, and phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish.

The RJSNE5F85A8 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNE5F85A8 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• 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 with equivalent thickness
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute part RJSAE538408 meets all primary substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical contact configuration, orientation, mounting type, termination method, contact material, contact finish specification, housing material, and RoHS compliance status. Variations in operating temperature range, LED color, and EMI finger configuration do not preclude substitution when these parameters are acceptable for the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538408 is a direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNE5F85A8 based on compliance with all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and maintain identical contact configuration, orientation, mounting type, termination method, contact material, contact finish specification, and housing material.

Substitution Advantages:

• RJSAE538408 is in active production status, ensuring ongoing availability
• Operating temperature range is extended (-55°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C)
• EMI finger shielding provides enhanced electromagnetic interference rejection
• RoHS compliance status is maintained
• Moisture sensitivity level remains unchanged

Substitution Considerations:

• LED color differs (Green-Yellow versus Green-Green); verify LED color requirement in target application
• EMI finger configuration is an enhancement that does not compromise backward compatibility
• Packaging format differs (tray versus original packaging); confirm handling and storage compatibility with assembly processes

The RJSAE538408 is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the original RJSNE5F85A8 was specified, provided that LED color and enhanced EMI shielding characteristics are acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538408 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNE5F85A8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), orientation (90° right angle), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (gold 50.0µin), and housing material (thermoplastic). The RJSAE538408 includes an EMI finger for enhanced shielding, which is a compatible enhancement.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range between these connectors?

A: The RJSNE5F85A8 operates from -40°C to 85°C. The RJSAE538408 operates from -55°C to 85°C. The substitute part has a wider lower temperature limit, making it suitable for applications requiring extended cold-temperature performance.

Q: Do the LED color differences affect electrical compatibility?

A: LED color is a visual indicator feature and does not affect electrical compatibility or connector function. The RJSNE5F85A8 features Green-Green LED indication, while the RJSAE538408 features Green-Yellow LED indication. Selection should be based on application requirements for visual status indication.

Q: What is the EMI finger feature on the RJSAE538408?

A: The EMI finger is an additional shielding element that provides enhanced electromagnetic interference rejection. Both connectors are shielded; the RJSAE538408 includes this supplementary feature for improved EMI performance. This enhancement does not prevent substitution.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNE5F85A8 and RJSAE538408 are RoHS compliant and maintain identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1, Unlimited).

Q: What packaging format differences exist between these parts?

A: The RJSNE5F85A8 packaging format is not specified in available data. The RJSAE538408 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging compatibility with your assembly and handling processes before procurement.

Q: Why is the RJSNE5F85A8 classified as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer discontinuation. The RJSAE538408 is the active production equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and support for this connector type.
