Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNE5F8K08 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: Jack (RJ45/Ethernet modular connector)
• Contact configuration: 8p8c (8 positions, 8 contacts)
• Contact material and finish: Phosphor Bronze with gold plating (50.0µin thickness)
• Shielding: Shielded construction
• LED color indicators: Yellow-Green and Orange

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° right-angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• Tab direction: Up and Down
• Port configuration: 8 ports in 2 rows

Environmental and Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: Must support -40°C minimum (substitute may extend upper limit)
• RoHS compliance: Required
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 or equivalent

The RJSAE5F8K08 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: RJSNE5F8K08 is obsolete, while RJSAE5F8K08 is active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs: Use RJSAE5F8K08. This part is active and maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with RJSNE5F8K08. Both parts are RoHS compliant and manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring consistent quality and performance.

For Existing Systems Using RJSNE5F8K08: RJSAE5F8K08 is a direct substitute. The parts are functionally equivalent across all critical parameters: connector type, contact configuration, shielding, termination method, and environmental ratings. Current inventory of RJSAE5F8K08 (752 pcs) supports replacement and repair operations.

Temperature Consideration: The RJSAE5F8K08 operates to a maximum of 70°C, compared to 85°C for the RJSNE5F8K08. For applications requiring sustained operation above 70°C, verify that the substitute meets thermal requirements before implementation.

Compliance Status: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The RJSNE5F8K08 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), while RJSAE5F8K08 is listed as Not Applicable for MSL. This distinction does not affect substitution suitability for standard PCB assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE5F8K08 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNE5F8K08 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors are 8p8c RJ45 jacks with identical mechanical footprints (through-hole, 90° right-angle orientation), contact configurations (Phosphor Bronze with gold plating), and solder termination. PCB layout and assembly procedures require no modification.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The RJSNE5F8K08 is obsolete, while RJSAE5F8K08 is active. The RJSAE5F8K08 has a lower maximum operating temperature (70°C vs. 85°C). All other electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with the LED indicators?

A: No. Both parts feature identical LED configurations (Yellow-Green and Orange indicators) and tab directions (Up and Down). LED functionality and appearance are equivalent.

Q: Does the difference in Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) affect substitution?

A: No. The RJSNE5F8K08 is MSL 1 (Unlimited), while RJSAE5F8K08 is listed as Not Applicable. This does not impact substitution for standard PCB assembly. Both parts are suitable for conventional reflow and wave soldering processes.

Q: What applications are these connectors designed for?

A: These are modular jack connectors (RJ45/Ethernet) used in network interface applications. The shielded construction and through-hole termination make them suitable for industrial and commercial networking equipment requiring EMI protection and robust mechanical mounting.

Q: Is RJSAE5F8K08 available in sufficient quantity for production?

A: Current inventory shows 752 pcs of RJSAE5F8K08 in stock as new original parts, supporting both prototype and production-volume requirements.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature environments?

A: The RJSAE5F8K08 operates from -40°C to 70°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 70°C should verify thermal compatibility before selection. The original RJSNE5F8K08 supported 85°C maximum.
