• Contact Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Method: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Number of Ports: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Tab Direction: Up and Down
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute may extend the lower or upper limit
• Contact Finish Thickness: Substitute may differ while maintaining gold plating specification
• Shielding Enhancement: Substitute may include additional EMI protection features

The RJSAE538608 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RJSAE538608 as Primary Substitute:

The RJSAE538608 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete RJSNEGF8608. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet jack connectors with 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination.

Compliance Status: Both parts carry RoHS Compliant certification and EAR99 export classification, meeting regulatory requirements for commercial applications.

Operational Differences: The RJSAE538608 extends the lower operating temperature limit to -55°C compared to the RJSNEGF8608's -40°C minimum, providing enhanced performance in cold environments. The substitute incorporates an EMI Finger shielding enhancement and features increased contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 15.0µin), which may provide improved durability and contact reliability in high-cycle applications.

Product Status: The RJSAE538608 maintains Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support, whereas the RJSNEGF8608 is classified as Obsolete.

Packaging Consideration: The RJSAE538608 is supplied in Tray packaging, whereas the RJSNEGF8608 packaging format is not specified in available documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538608 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNEGF8608 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538608 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical specifications for the RJSNEGF8608, including connector type, contact configuration, orientation, mounting method, termination, and shielding. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical pin configurations and board-level compatibility.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Product Status—RJSAE538608 is Active while RJSNEGF8608 is Obsolete; (2) Operating Temperature Range—RJSAE538608 extends to -55°C minimum versus -40°C; (3) Shielding Enhancement—RJSAE538608 includes EMI Finger protection; (4) Contact Finish Thickness—RJSAE538608 features 50.0µin gold plating versus 15.0µin; (5) Packaging—RJSAE538608 is supplied in Tray format.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting RJSAE538608 for RJSNEGF8608?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both connectors maintain identical footprints, pin assignments, and mechanical interfaces. The enhanced specifications of the RJSAE538608 (extended temperature range, improved shielding, thicker gold plating) represent improvements rather than deviations.

Q: Does the increased contact finish thickness of RJSAE538608 affect performance?

A: The increased gold plating thickness (50.0µin versus 15.0µin) on the RJSAE538608 does not negatively affect performance. This enhancement typically improves contact durability and resistance to wear in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: What is the significance of the EMI Finger feature on RJSAE538608?

A: The EMI Finger is an additional shielding element that enhances electromagnetic interference rejection. Both parts are shielded; the RJSAE538608 provides supplementary EMI protection through this feature, making it suitable for environments with higher electromagnetic noise.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RJSNEGF8608 and RJSAE538608 carry RoHS Compliant certification and are suitable for applications requiring compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations during storage or handling.
