RJSNE5F87A8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNE5F87A8 is a Jack Modular Connector (8p8c/RJ45 Ethernet) featuring 90° right-angle orientation with shielding, manufactured by Amphenol ICC. This connector supports through-hole soldering with board lock features and integrated red-green LED indicators. The product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of compatible substitute components for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Equivalent parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while meeting the connector's functional requirements in networked applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict conformance to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: Jack (8p8c/RJ45 Ethernet)
• Contact count and arrangement: 8 positions, 2 rows
• Orientation: 90° right-angle mounting
• Mounting method: Through-hole
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding configuration: Shielded
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact finish and thickness: Gold at 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS compliance: Required

The RJSAE538708 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical performance of all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in product status, operating temperature range, and EMI finger implementation do not prevent functional substitution when design constraints permit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the RJSNE5F87A8 and RJSAE538708 should be based on product availability and lifecycle status. The RJSAE538708 is the preferred choice for new designs and production applications due to its active product status and extended lower operating temperature rating (-55°C versus -40°C). Both components maintain full RoHS compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications for standard Ethernet jack applications. The RJSAE538708 includes EMI finger shielding, which provides enhanced electromagnetic interference rejection in electrically noisy environments. Existing inventory of the RJSNE5F87A8 may be utilized in applications where lower temperature performance is not required and component availability permits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes RJSAE538708 a valid substitute for RJSNE5F87A8? A: Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the core 8p8c jack interface, including contact material, finish thickness, termination method, and mounting configuration. The RJSAE538708 incorporates equivalent shielding with the addition of an EMI finger, which does not prevent compatibility in standard RJ45 Ethernet applications.

Q: Does the EMI finger on RJSAE538708 affect pin-to-pin compatibility? A: No. The EMI finger is an additional shielding feature that does not modify the 8-pin contact layout or electrical performance of the connector interface.

Q: Can RJSNE5F87A8 be used in applications requiring -55°C operation? A: No. The RJSNE5F87A8 is specified for -40°C to 85°C operation. Applications requiring -55°C performance must use RJSAE538708 or equivalent connectors with extended temperature ratings.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors? A: The RJSNE5F87A8 uses standard packaging (packaging type not specified), while RJSAE538708 is supplied in Tray packaging. This difference does not affect connector performance or board-level functionality.

Q: Do both connectors support the same LED color configuration? A: Yes. Both RJSNE5F87A8 and RJSAE538708 feature red-green LED indicators and identical board lock mechanisms.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both RJSNE5F87A8 and RJSAE538708 are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, suitable for standard PCB assembly processes without special handling.
