RJSNEJ08708 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNEJ08708 is a Jack Modular Connector in 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) configuration manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). 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 applications and new designs. Substitute parts must maintain functional compatibility while meeting current availability and compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNEJ08708 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector type: Jack
• Contact configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° right-angle
• Mounting: Through-hole solder termination
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze with gold finish
• LED indicator: Red-Green dual color

Allowable Variations:

• Shielding configuration (unshielded to shielded transition acceptable for EMI-sensitive applications)
• Operating temperature range (extended range acceptable)
• Contact finish thickness (within gold plating specifications)
• Product status (active preferred over obsolete)

The RJSAEGF8708 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all primary compatibility criteria while offering enhanced shielding and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RJSNEJ08708 Replacement:

The RJSAEGF8708 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJ08708. Selection rationale is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The RJSNEJ08708 is classified as obsolete. The RJSAEGF8708 maintains active product status with Amphenol ICC, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturing support.

Compliance: Both components are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence.

Functional Compatibility: The RJSAEGF8708 maintains identical connector type, contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), orientation (90° right-angle), mounting method (through-hole solder), and housing material (thermoplastic). LED indicator functionality (Red-Green) is preserved.

Shielding Difference: The RJSAEGF8708 introduces shielded design versus the unshielded RJSNEJ08708. This enhancement provides improved electromagnetic interference (EMI) rejection and is compatible with standard RJ45 jack applications. Shielded variants are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with unshielded designs in standard Ethernet applications.

Temperature Range: The RJSAEGF8708 extends the lower operating temperature limit to -55°C (versus -40°C), providing broader environmental compatibility without affecting upper temperature performance.

Contact Finish: The RJSAEGF8708 specifies 15.0µin gold plating versus 30.0µin on the original part. Both finishes meet standard RJ45 contact durability requirements and are within acceptable gold plating thickness specifications for modular connectors.

Inventory Availability: The RJSAEGF8708 is currently in stock with 1056 pieces available, compared to 868 pieces of the obsolete RJSNEJ08708.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAEGF8708 directly replace the RJSNEJ08708 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAEGF8708 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the RJSNEJ08708. Both connectors share identical 8p8c (RJ45) contact configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and thermoplastic housing. The primary difference is the addition of shielding in the substitute part, which does not affect compatibility with standard RJ45 jack applications.

Q: What is the significance of the shielding difference between these parts?

A: The RJSNEJ08708 is unshielded, while the RJSAEGF8708 is shielded. Shielding provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) rejection and is standard in modern Ethernet connector designs. Shielded connectors are backward compatible with unshielded applications and offer enhanced performance in electrically noisy environments. No design modification is required to accommodate this change.

Q: Are there temperature range differences that affect application suitability?

A: The RJSAEGF8708 operates from -55°C to 85°C, compared to -40°C to 85°C for the RJSNEJ08708. The substitute part extends the lower temperature limit by 15°C, providing broader environmental compatibility. Both parts maintain identical upper temperature performance at 85°C. This difference does not restrict substitution in any standard application.

Q: How do the contact finish specifications compare?

A: The RJSNEJ08708 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating, while the RJSAEGF8708 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm). Both finishes meet industry standards for modular connector contact durability and electrical performance. The difference reflects manufacturing process variations between product generations and does not affect functional compatibility or contact reliability.

Q: Is the RJSAEGF8708 available for immediate procurement?

A: Yes. The RJSAEGF8708 is classified as an active product with 1056 pieces currently in stock, compared to the obsolete RJSNEJ08708 with 868 pieces available. The active status ensures continued manufacturing availability and supply chain reliability for future requirements.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNEJ08708 and RJSAEGF8708 are RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level). Both carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, confirming full regulatory equivalence for export and procurement purposes.

Q: Are the LED indicator specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature Red-Green dual-color LED indicators with identical tab direction (up and down). LED functionality and appearance are preserved in the substitute part.
