RJSNEJ08508 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNEJ08508 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, unshielded design, and through-hole solder termination. The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components for ongoing procurement and design requirements. Active alternative models are available with enhanced specifications and current manufacturing status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNEJ08508 is determined by strict alignment of the following core parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS Compliance: Required

Allowable Variations:

• Shielding: Unshielded to Shielded (with EMI Finger) is permissible when electromagnetic interference mitigation is required
• Contact Finish Thickness: Variation within gold plating specifications
• Operating Temperature Range: Extended range acceptable
• Product Status: Active status preferred for obsolete components
• Features: Additional features such as Board Lock are acceptable enhancements

The RJSAE-5385-08 meets all critical matching parameters while providing enhanced shielding and extended temperature range specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RJSNEJ08508 (Obsolete): The RJSNEJ08508 is classified as obsolete and no longer in active production. While 1050 units remain in current inventory, this part number should not be selected for new designs or long-term procurement strategies.

RJSAE-5385-08 (Active Substitute): The RJSAE-5385-08 is the recommended substitute for the RJSNEJ08508. This component is manufactured by the same supplier (Amphenol ICC), maintains identical connector specifications (8p8c RJ45, 90° right-angle, through-hole solder termination), and holds active product status. The RJSAE-5385-08 provides the following advantages:

• Active manufacturing status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C)
• Enhanced shielding with EMI finger for improved electromagnetic interference rejection
• Increased contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 30.0µin) for improved durability
• Board Lock feature for enhanced mechanical retention
• RoHS Compliant certification maintained
• Identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications

Both components are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory compliance and handling compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE-5385-08 directly replace the RJSNEJ08508 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical core specifications: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, and thermoplastic housing. The RJSAE-5385-08 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The RJSNEJ08508 is unshielded, while the RJSAE-5385-08 includes shielding with an EMI finger. The RJSAE-5385-08 also features a higher contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 30.0µin), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C), and a Board Lock feature.

Q: Is the shielding difference a compatibility concern?

A: No. The shielding in the RJSAE-5385-08 is an enhancement that provides electromagnetic interference rejection. The connector maintains the same 8p8c pin configuration and electrical interface. Shielded connectors are backward compatible with unshielded applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RJSNEJ08508 packaging information is not specified in the provided data. The RJSAE-5385-08 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Why is the RJSNEJ08508 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The RJSAE-5385-08 represents the active equivalent in the Amphenol ICC product line and should be used for all new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNEJ08508 and RJSAE-5385-08 are RoHS Compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both connectors have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
