Amphenol ICC RJSNEJ08GA8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJSNEJ08GA8 is a jack modular connector conforming to the 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) standard with 90° right-angle orientation and unshielded design. This connector is rated for through-hole solder mounting with operating temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. The product status is obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain functional compatibility while potentially offering enhanced features or improved availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute selection for the RJSNEJ08GA8 is based on the following key parameters that define functional equivalence:

• Connector Type & Standard: Jack modular connector, 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder mounting
• Contact Configuration: 8 positions, 2 rows
• Material Specifications: Phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish
• Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance and ECCN/HTSUS classifications

The RJSAE538G08 qualifies as a functional substitute based on compliance with these core mechanical and electrical parameters. The key distinction is the addition of shielding and EMI finger protection, which does not prevent substitution but extends electromagnetic compatibility capabilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538G08 is the designated substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJ08GA8. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical interfaces (90° right-angle through-hole solder mount) and comply with RJ45/Ethernet 8p8c standards. The RJSAE538G08 carries active product status and maintains full RoHS compliance with equivalent ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

The primary operational difference is the addition of shielding with EMI finger protection in the RJSAE538G08, which extends electromagnetic compatibility performance without compromising mechanical compatibility. The extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C (versus -40°C to 85°C) provides additional environmental margin. Gold contact finish thickness is increased to 50.0µin, enhancing contact durability over the original 30.0µin specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538G08 directly replace the RJSNEJ08GA8 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical mounting geometry (90° right-angle through-hole), contact pin configuration (8p8c), and solder termination method. Printed circuit board layout and mechanical footprints are fully compatible.

Q: What is the functional difference between shielded and unshielded variants? A: The RJSAE538G08 includes shielding and EMI finger protection, providing enhanced electromagnetic interference suppression. The RJSNEJ08GA8 is unshielded. The shielded variant is backward compatible with unshielded applications while offering superior EMI performance.

Q: Are there packaging considerations between these parts? A: The RJSNEJ08GA8 is packaged in standard format, while the RJSAE538G08 is supplied in trays. Both maintain identical unit-level connector specifications and mechanical dimensions. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Which operating temperature range applies to my application? A: The RJSNEJ08GA8 operates from -40°C to 85°C. The RJSAE538G08 extends this to -55°C to 85°C. Applications operating below -40°C require the RJSAE538G08 to maintain specification compliance.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both the RJSNEJ08GA8 and RJSAE538G08 are RoHS compliant and classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) codes.
