RJSNE5F8VA8

Part Overview

The RJSNE5F8VA8 is a modular jack connector (8p8c/RJ45 Ethernet) manufactured by Amphenol ICC, configured for 90° right-angle mounting with solder termination and shielding. The main part is classified as Obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent alternatives for continued procurement and deployment. The RJSAE538B08 serves as a direct functional equivalent with enhanced EMI shielding characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility between RJSNE5F8VA8 and RJSAE538B08 is established through equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Contact Configuration: Both are 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) connectors
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical mounting type (through hole), orientation (90° right angle), and termination method (solder)
• Physical Structure: Both employ 8 ports, 2 rows, with matching board lock feature and tab direction orientation
• Material Specifications: Identical contact material (phosphor bronze) and gold finish thickness (50.0µin / 1.27µm)
• Housing: Both use thermoplastic housing
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating

The substitute part extends the main part specification by incorporating an EMI Finger shielding enhancement and demonstrates active product status, making it suitable for procurement in applications where the obsolete RJSNE5F8VA8 is currently specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538B08 is the designated active equivalent for applications currently specifying the RJSNE5F8VA8. Selection is justified on the following grounds:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity, whereas the main part is classified as obsolete and subject to eventual discontinuation.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance, ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS coding, confirming regulatory equivalence across procurement, customs, and environmental compliance requirements.

Functional Equivalence: Parameter alignment in contact configuration, mechanical mounting, termination method, and material specifications ensures direct functional substitution without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Enhanced Specifications: The RJSAE538B08 incorporates EMI Finger shielding in addition to base shielding and extends the lower operating temperature limit to -55°C, providing performance parity with potential thermal margin improvement for specific applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538B08 directly replace RJSNE5F8VA8 on existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mounting type (through hole), orientation (90° right angle), solder termination, port configuration (8p8c), and mechanical dimensions determined by the connector housing and tab orientation. Direct pin-for-pin substitution is supported.

Q: What is the significance of the EMI Finger feature in the substitute part?

A: The EMI Finger shielding enhancement in RJSAE538B08 provides additional electromagnetic interference suppression. This represents an upgrade to the base shielded specification of RJSNE5F8VA8 and does not preclude substitution.

Q: Are the LED color specifications functionally equivalent?

A: LED color differences (Red, Green - Green for main part; Red, Green - Red, Green for substitute) represent component sourcing variations and do not affect connector functionality or electrical performance in applications utilizing the modular jack for data transmission.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of RJSAE538B08 affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute part extends the lower temperature specification to -55°C while maintaining the 85°C upper limit. This expanded range is compatible with applications designed for the RJSNE5F8VA8 temperature specification (-40°C to 85°C).

Q: Why is packaging information different between the two parts?

A: Packaging variation (tray for substitute versus unspecified for main part) reflects current manufacturing and distribution standards for active products. Packaging type does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and is a procurement logistics consideration only.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant for restricted substance control?

A: Yes. Both RJSNE5F8VA8 and RJSAE538B08 maintain RoHS compliance, confirming equivalent restriction of hazardous substances and suitability for applications subject to RoHS requirements.
