Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNE5F88A8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Jack
• Contact configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Port and row count: 8 ports, 2 rows
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Orientation: 90° angle (right)
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze
• Contact finish: Gold at 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS compliance: Required
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The RJSAE538808 satisfies all mandatory parameters while offering enhanced EMI shielding through an integrated EMI finger and an extended operating temperature range. The substitute maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring direct functional replacement in through-hole PCB applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538808 is the direct functional equivalent for RJSNE5F88A8 replacement. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The RJSNE5F88A8 is obsolete, while RJSAE538808 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance and Certifications: Both components are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, maintaining regulatory equivalence.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: All critical parameters—contact configuration, termination method, shielding, contact material and finish, housing material, and operating temperature lower bound—are identical or compatible. The RJSAE538808 provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C), offering enhanced performance margin in low-temperature environments.

Enhanced Shielding: The RJSAE538808 incorporates an integrated EMI finger for improved electromagnetic interference rejection, providing superior signal integrity without compromising mechanical or electrical interface compatibility.

Packaging Consideration: RJSAE538808 is supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly and high-volume production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538808 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNE5F88A8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538808 maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications across all critical parameters: 8p8c contact configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielding, contact material and finish, housing material, and board lock functionality. PCB footprints and mounting hole patterns are compatible.

Q: What is the difference in shielding between the two parts?

A: The RJSNE5F88A8 provides standard shielding. The RJSAE538808 includes an integrated EMI finger for enhanced electromagnetic interference rejection. This enhancement does not affect mechanical compatibility or electrical interface specifications.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of RJSAE538808 affect compatibility?

A: No. The RJSAE538808 operates from -55°C to 85°C, compared to -40°C to 85°C for the RJSNE5F88A8. The extended lower temperature limit provides additional performance margin and does not compromise compatibility in applications within the original temperature range.

Q: Are there any packaging differences that affect assembly?

A: The RJSNE5F88A8 packaging specification is not provided. The RJSAE538808 is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly. Confirm packaging compatibility with your assembly process requirements.

Q: Do both parts carry the same regulatory certifications?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. MSL rating is 1 (Unlimited) for both parts, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification?

A: Both parts specify gold contact finish at 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical contact resistance and durability.

Q: Why is RJSNE5F88A8 classified as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The RJSAE538808 is the active equivalent, ensuring continued availability and support for new designs and field replacements.
