RJSNE5F8TA8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNE5F8TA8 is a shielded modular jack connector (8P8C/RJ45) with 90° right-angle orientation manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This through-hole solder-terminated connector features board lock functionality and operates across -40°C to 85°C. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of active equivalent models essential for ongoing design support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNE5F8TA8 is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Jack modular connector with 8P8C (RJ45/Ethernet) contact arrangement
• Mechanical Form Factor: 90° right-angle orientation with through-hole mounting
• Electrical Interface: Shielded design with solder termination
• Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature compatibility within specified range
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance and matching MSL classification

The RJSAE538B08 meets these substitution criteria as an active equivalent. Both connectors share identical mechanical mounting requirements, electrical shielding specifications, and contact material/finish properties. The primary distinctions involve product status (active vs. obsolete) and minor enhancements in the substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For designs currently utilizing RJSNE5F8TA8 connectors, the RJSAE538B08 serves as the active equivalent for ongoing procurement and new design implementations. Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status and MSL ratings, ensuring regulatory alignment across product lifecycle phases.

The RJSAE538B08 offers enhanced environmental performance with an extended lower temperature operating bound (-55°C vs. -40°C minimum), providing broader thermal margin for demanding applications. The addition of EMI finger shielding in the substitute part represents an engineering enhancement that maintains backward compatibility while improving electromagnetic interference performance.

Parts are supplied by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) from the same manufacturer ecosystem, ensuring consistency in quality standards, lead times, and technical support continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538B08 directly replace RJSNE5F8TA8 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical form factors (through-hole, 90° right-angle), contact configurations (8P8C), and solder termination methods. The RJSAE538B08 is functionally equivalent with no PCB layout modifications required.

Q: What is the significance of the EMI Finger shielding in RJSAE538B08? A: EMI finger shielding enhances electromagnetic interference attenuation while maintaining the overall connector envelope. This is an engineering improvement that does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: Is the extended temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) of RJSAE538B08 critical for substitution? A: The extended lower temperature rating of RJSAE538B08 provides operational margin beyond the original RJSNE5F8TA8 specification. This does not restrict use in applications within the original -40°C to 85°C range.

Q: How do the packaging differences affect component handling? A: RJSAE538B08 is supplied in tray packaging, while RJSNE5F8TA8 packaging is unspecified. Both packaging formats are standard for modular connector distribution and do not affect connector performance or installation procedures.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both RJSNE5F8TA8 and RJSAE538B08 carry RoHS compliance certification with MSL-1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: What is the base product designation? A: RJSNE5F8TA8 uses base product number RJSNE5F8, while RJSAE538B08 uses base product number RJSAE538. The designation change reflects the transition from the obsolete RJSNE series to the active RJSAE series within Amphenol's modular connector portfolio.
