Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNE5F8FA8 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the modular connector category. The primary substitute, RJSAE538408, maintains functional compatibility through identical specifications in the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Jack)
• Contact configuration (8p8c RJ45 Ethernet)
• Orientation (90° right-angle)
• Mounting method (Through hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Shielding classification (Shielded)
• Contact material and finish (Phosphor bronze with 50.0µin gold plating)
• Housing material (Thermoplastic)
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS compliant, MSL 1)

The RJSAE538408 represents an active product status alternative, addressing the obsolescence of the RJSNE5F8FA8 while preserving design compatibility and electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538408 is the direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNE5F8FA8. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters required for 8p8c modular jack applications.

The RJSAE538408 offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C) provides broader environmental compatibility
• Enhanced shielding with EMI finger design improves electromagnetic interference rejection
• Higher inventory availability (897 pcs versus 691 pcs) supports immediate procurement requirements
• Identical RoHS compliance and regulatory certifications (EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4040) maintain compliance requirements

Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and require no special handling during storage or assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538408 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNE5F8FA8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538408 maintains identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration, orientation, mounting method, termination type, contact material, finish, and housing material. Both parts are through-hole solder-terminated 8p8c RJ45 jacks with 90° right-angle orientation and shielding.

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

A: The RJSNE5F8FA8 features standard shielding, while the RJSAE538408 includes shielding with an EMI finger. The EMI finger provides enhanced electromagnetic interference rejection without affecting mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: Are there any temperature range differences that affect substitution?

A: The RJSAE538408 operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) compared to the RJSNE5F8FA8 (-40°C to 85°C). This extended range does not restrict substitution and provides additional environmental margin for applications requiring lower temperature operation.

Q: Do both parts have the same packaging requirements?

A: The RJSNE5F8FA8 packaging is not specified in the available data. The RJSAE538408 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications before ordering.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNE5F8FA8 and RJSAE538408 are RoHS compliant with identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4040).

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Can I use the RJSAE538408 in new designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538408 is an active product with confirmed inventory availability. It is suitable for both new designs and replacement applications requiring 8p8c modular jack connectors with 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination and shielding.
