RJSNEG38908 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNEG38908 is a modular jack connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products), designed for 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) applications. This connector features a 90° right-angle orientation with shielding and EMI finger protection, suitable for through-hole solder termination on printed circuit boards.

The RJSNEG38908 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for systems utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNEG38908 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Contact Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Method: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded, EMI Finger
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• LED Color: Green
• Tab Direction: Up and Down
• RoHS Compliance: Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RJSAE538908 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. Variations in contact finish thickness and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution, as these represent enhanced or extended specifications rather than functional incompatibilities.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RJSAE538908 as Primary Substitute:

The RJSAE538908 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete RJSNEG38908. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical functional parameters.

Advantages of RJSAE538908:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• Enhanced contact finish thickness (50.0µin vs. 15.0µin) provides increased durability and extended contact life
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C vs. -40°C to 85°C) supports broader environmental applications
• Higher inventory availability (842 pcs vs. 667 pcs) supports immediate procurement

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status, Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification, and ECCN/HTSUS coding, ensuring regulatory and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538908 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNEG38908 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538908 maintains functional equivalence across all critical parameters: connector type, contact configuration, orientation, mounting method, termination type, shielding, and material specifications. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference?

A: The RJSAE538908 features a thicker gold plating (50.0µin vs. 15.0µin). This enhanced finish provides improved contact durability, reduced wear during mating cycles, and extended service life. This represents an improvement over the original specification.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of RJSAE538908 affect compatibility?

A: No. The RJSAE538908 operating range (-55°C to 85°C) encompasses the original range (-40°C to 85°C). Extended temperature capability does not create incompatibility; it expands application flexibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RJSNEG38908 packaging specification is not provided in the input data. The RJSAE538908 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the RJSNE and RJSAE series designations?

A: Series designations indicate product line classification within Amphenol ICC's modular connector portfolio. Both series share identical functional specifications for this 8p8c RJ45 jack configuration. The series change reflects product evolution and active manufacturing status.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RJSNEG38908 and RJSAE538908 are RoHS compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: RJSAE538908 is the appropriate selection for new designs. As an active product with enhanced specifications and superior availability, it provides design continuity and supply chain security.
