RJSNEJ08C08 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNEJ08C08 is a modular jack connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products), designed for 8-position 8-contact (8p8c) RJ45 Ethernet applications. This connector features a 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and unshielded construction. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent models to ensure continued design support and procurement availability. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while meeting current manufacturing and compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNEJ08C08 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Number of ports: 8
• Number of rows: 2
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact finish: Gold

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: Jack
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination method: Solder
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Tab direction: Up and Down
• Housing material: Thermoplastic

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -40°C minimum to 85°C maximum
• RoHS compliance: Required
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part RJSAE508708 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in contact finish thickness, operating temperature upper range, and product status (active vs. obsolete) do not affect functional substitution capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: RJSAE508708

The RJSAE508708 is the direct functional equivalent for RJSNEJ08C08 applications. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Compliance & Certification:

• Both parts are RoHS Compliant
• Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)
• Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040

Operational Advantages of RJSAE508708:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and manufacturing support
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C) provides broader environmental tolerance compared to RJSNEJ08C08 (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Increased contact finish thickness (50.0µin vs. 30.0µin) enhances durability and contact reliability
• Board Lock feature provides mechanical retention enhancement

Design Considerations: The RJSAE508708 is suitable for direct replacement in all applications currently using RJSNEJ08C08. No circuit redesign or PCB layout modification is required. The connector maintains identical footprint, pin assignment, and electrical performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE508708 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNEJ08C08 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mounting type (through hole), orientation (90° right angle), contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), and termination method (solder). No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness between these parts?

A: RJSNEJ08C08 has 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold finish thickness, while RJSAE508708 has 50.0µin (1.27µm). The thicker finish on RJSAE508708 provides enhanced contact durability and wear resistance without affecting electrical performance.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of RJSAE508708 affect compatibility?

A: No. RJSAE508708 operates from -55°C to 85°C, which encompasses the -40°C to 85°C range of RJSNEJ08C08. This extended range provides additional environmental margin without compromising compatibility.

Q: What is the Board Lock feature on RJSAE508708?

A: Board Lock is a mechanical retention feature that provides additional mechanical stability to the connector on the PCB. This feature does not affect electrical compatibility and enhances overall assembly robustness.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RJSNEJ08C08 and RJSAE508708 are RoHS Compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings.

Q: Why is RJSNEJ08C08 listed as obsolete?

A: RJSNEJ08C08 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. RJSAE508708 is the active equivalent that provides identical functionality with enhanced specifications and continued manufacturing support.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: RJSNEJ08C08 packaging information is not specified in the provided data. RJSAE508708 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department for inventory management purposes.
