Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNE5F8P08 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Connector type: Jack (RJ45/Ethernet modular)
• Contact configuration: 8p8c (8 positions, 8 contacts)
• Shielding: Shielded construction
• Contact material and finish: Phosphor Bronze with gold plating (50.0µin minimum)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination method: Solder
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• Tab direction: Up and Down
• LED indicators: Green and Red color support

Environmental and Compliance Requirements:

• Operating temperature range: Compatible with -40°C minimum
• RoHS compliance: Required
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 or Not Applicable acceptable

The RJSAE5F8P08 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status transition from obsolete to active production.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE5F8P08 is a direct functional equivalent to the RJSNE5F8P08 for applications operating within the -40°C to 70°C temperature range. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 8p8c RJ45 configuration, shielded construction, through-hole solder termination, and dual-color LED indicators.

Selection Basis:

The RJSAE5F8P08 is recommended as the primary substitute due to active production status and full compliance with RoHS requirements. The connector maintains all critical parameters necessary for Ethernet modular jack applications, including contact material composition, gold plating thickness, and mechanical orientation.

Temperature Consideration:

Applications requiring operation above 70°C must evaluate alternative solutions, as the RJSAE5F8P08 operating temperature maximum is 70°C compared to the original RJSNE5F8P08 specification of 85°C. For applications within the -40°C to 70°C range, the RJSAE5F8P08 provides equivalent performance.

Compliance Status:

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The RJSAE5F8P08 carries MSL Not Applicable rating, eliminating moisture sensitivity constraints applicable to the original part's MSL 1 classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE5F8P08 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNE5F8P08 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating within -40°C to 70°C. The RJSAE5F8P08 matches all electrical and mechanical parameters of the RJSNE5F8P08, including connector type, contact configuration, shielding, termination method, and LED indicator support. PCB layout and footprint compatibility is maintained.

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

A: The RJSNE5F8P08 is obsolete, while the RJSAE5F8P08 is in active production. The operating temperature maximum differs: RJSNE5F8P08 operates to 85°C, while RJSAE5F8P08 operates to 70°C. Both are RoHS compliant.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and mounting footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole mounting, and identical tab direction (up and down). PCB hole patterns and component placement are compatible.

Q: Does the RJSAE5F8P08 support the same LED indicator colors?

A: Yes. Both parts feature dual-color LED indicators with Green and Red color support.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level difference?

A: The RJSNE5F8P08 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), while the RJSAE5F8P08 carries MSL Not Applicable. This indicates the substitute part has no moisture sensitivity constraints, simplifying storage and handling requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNE5F8P08 and RJSAE5F8P08 are RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: Can the RJSAE5F8P08 be used in high-temperature applications above 70°C?

A: No. The RJSAE5F8P08 maximum operating temperature is 70°C. Applications requiring operation above 70°C must identify alternative connector solutions.
