RJSNEGF84A8 Equivalent and Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNEGF84A8 is a shielded modular jack connector for 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) applications with 90° right angle orientation. Manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products), this connector features a through-hole solder termination with board lock functionality. The product is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent active components for continued design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the RJSNEGF84A8 is based on functional equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector type (Jack) and contact configuration (8p8c RJ45, Ethernet)
• Mechanical orientation (90° right angle)
• Mounting method (Through Hole) and termination (Solder)
• Electrical performance (Shielded construction)
• Environmental compliance (RoHS, MSL Level 1)

The RJSAEGF84A8 satisfies all substitution requirements. While the obsolete RJSNEGF84A8 operates within -40°C to 85°C, the substitute RJSAEGF84A8 extends the lower operating limit to -55°C, providing equivalent or superior performance across the original specification range. Both connectors share identical contact materials (Phosphor Bronze), finish specifications (Gold, 15.0µin), housing material (Thermoplastic), and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAEGF84A8 is the direct technical equivalent and recommended replacement for the obsolete RJSNEGF84A8. Both components are RoHS compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 1, indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly. The substitute maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility across all provided specifications.

Selection of the RJSAEGF84A8 is supported by its active production status, ensuring procurement availability and long-term supply chain stability. The extended lower operating temperature limit (-55°C versus -40°C) represents an operational enhancement without introducing any compatibility constraints for applications designed to the original RJSNEGF84A8 specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the RJSNEGF84A8 and RJSAEGF84A8 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mounting type (Through Hole), orientation (90° right angle), termination method (Solder), and physical housing material (Thermoplastic). Printed circuit board layouts designed for the original part accommodate the substitute without modification.

Q: What is the significance of the different operating temperature ranges?

A: The substitute RJSAEGF84A8 extends the lower operating limit from -40°C to -55°C. Applications operating within the original -40°C to 85°C specification range experience no degradation. The expanded range provides additional environmental margin for high-altitude, cold-climate, or high-reliability applications.

Q: Does the substitute part maintain the same electrical performance?

A: Yes. Identical contact material (Phosphor Bronze), contact finish (Gold, 15.0µin), and shielding construction ensure equivalent electrical performance and signal integrity characteristics across the 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) configuration.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both components carry identical RoHS compliance status and Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings (MSL 1 – Unlimited). No special handling, storage, or assembly procedure modifications are required when transitioning to the substitute part.

Q: Why is the original RJSNEGF84A8 marked as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The RJSAEGF84A8, part of the active RJSAE series, represents the current production equivalent and is recommended for all new designs and component procurement.
