Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RJSNE5F8RA8 qualifies for substitution with the RJSAE538G08 based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Criteria):

• Connector Type: Jack
• Contact Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination Method: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold at 50.0µin (1.27µm)
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Tab Direction: Up and Down
• RoHS Compliance: Both RoHS Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

These aligned parameters establish functional and mechanical interchangeability for PCB integration and signal transmission in Ethernet applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538G08 serves as the active alternative to the obsolete RJSNE5F8RA8. Both components carry RoHS Compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), confirming regulatory alignment for modern manufacturing and deployment environments.

The RJSAE538G08 provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C), offering thermal robustness for applications with lower ambient temperature exposure. The RJSAE538G08 incorporates EMI finger shielding in addition to standard shielding, enhancing electromagnetic interference mitigation in high-density networking installations.

The RJSAE538G08 is actively manufactured and available in tray packaging, providing supply chain continuity and standard production economies. Selection of the RJSAE538G08 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB designs using the RJSNE5F8RA8 footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538G08 directly replace the RJSNE5F8RA8 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical through-hole mounting type, 90° right-angle orientation, 8p8c contact configuration, and solder termination. PCB layout and hole positioning are compatible without design modification.

Q: What is the significance of the EMI finger feature on the RJSAE538G08?

A: The EMI finger provides additional shielding effectiveness against electromagnetic interference. Both the main and substitute parts are shielded; the RJSAE538G08 offers enhanced performance through this supplementary feature while maintaining backward compatibility.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the RJSAE538G08 affect selection criteria?

A: The extended range (-55°C minimum versus -40°C) does not restrict applicability. Applications requiring operation below -40°C benefit from this extended specification. For applications within the -40°C ~ 85°C range, both parts perform identically.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RJSNE5F8RA8 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The RJSAE538G08 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm tray packaging compatibility with receiving and handling requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The RJSAE538G08 must be selected for new designs. The RJSNE5F8RA8 is obsolete and unavailable for standard procurement. The RJSAE538G08 provides equivalent functionality with active manufacturing status and supply availability.

Q: Are the LED indicator specifications identical?

A: Both parts feature green and orange LED colors. LED integration and functionality are equivalent across both connectors.

Q: How do the contact specifications compare?

A: Contact material (Phosphor Bronze), finish (Gold), and finish thickness (50.0µin / 1.27µm) are identical, ensuring electrical performance parity in signal transmission and connection reliability.
