Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNEGF8MA8 is based on strict equivalence of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Jack, 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Physical Orientation: 90° right-angle mounting
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder attachment
• Shielding Requirement: Shielded construction
• Contact Properties: Phosphor bronze with gold finish (15.0µin thickness)
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant, MSL 1

The RJSAEGF8708 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete RJSNEGF8MA8.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAEGF8708 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete RJSNEGF8MA8 based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection of the RJSAEGF8708 is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: The RJSAEGF8708 is an active product with current manufacturing and supply chain availability (1056 pcs in stock), whereas the RJSNEGF8MA8 is obsolete.
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.
• Thermal Performance: The RJSAEGF8708 provides an extended lower operating temperature limit (-55°C versus -40°C), offering improved performance margin in cold environments while maintaining the same upper limit.
• Mechanical & Electrical Equivalence: All contact, termination, shielding, and mounting specifications are identical, ensuring direct PCB-level compatibility without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAEGF8708 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNEGF8MA8 without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. The RJSAEGF8708 is mechanically and electrically equivalent. Both connectors share identical through-hole solder pad configurations, 90° right-angle orientation, and shielded 8p8c contact geometry. No PCB layout modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between the LED color specifications?

A: The RJSNEGF8MA8 features Red-Yellow LED indicators, while the RJSAEGF8708 features Red-Green LED indicators. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. LED color selection depends on application-specific visual indication requirements.

Q: Does the RJSAEGF8708 have board lock functionality?

A: The RJSNEGF8MA8 specifies board lock as a feature. The RJSAEGF8708 does not list this feature in the provided specifications. If board lock is a critical design requirement, this difference must be evaluated against application needs.

Q: Are there any thermal performance differences?

A: The RJSAEGF8708 operates from -55°C to 85°C, compared to the RJSNEGF8MA8 range of -40°C to 85°C. The substitute part provides a 15°C lower temperature margin, making it suitable for applications requiring extended cold-temperature operation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNEGF8MA8 and RJSAEGF8708 are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification?

A: Both parts specify gold contact finish at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
