• Operating temperature range compatibility

The RJSAEJ38008 maintains full equivalence across all critical parameters while offering active product status and improved temperature range specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAEJ38008 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJ38008. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The RJSAEJ38008 offers the following advantages:

Product Status: The RJSAEJ38008 carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. The RJSNEJ38008 is classified as obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Compliance Certifications: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and carry identical moisture sensitivity level ratings (MSL 1 - Unlimited), confirming equivalent environmental performance and regulatory standing.

Temperature Range: The RJSAEJ38008 provides an extended lower operating temperature limit of -55°C compared to the RJSNEJ38008 at -40°C, offering improved performance in cold environment applications while maintaining the identical upper limit of 85°C.

Supply Availability: The RJSAEJ38008 maintains higher inventory levels (902 pcs) compared to the RJSNEJ38008 (851 pcs), supporting production continuity and reducing lead time risk.

For new designs and production transitions, the RJSAEJ38008 is the appropriate selection. Existing designs using the RJSNEJ38008 can transition to the RJSAEJ38008 without modification, as all functional and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAEJ38008 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNEJ38008 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mounting type (through hole), orientation (90° right-angle), and physical tab direction (up and down). No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are the electrical characteristics identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature 8p8c (RJ45/Ethernet) contact configuration, phosphor bronze contacts with 30.0µin gold plating, and shielded construction with EMI finger. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the extended temperature range on the RJSAEJ38008?

A: The RJSAEJ38008 operates from -55°C to 85°C, compared to the RJSNEJ38008 range of -40°C to 85°C. This extended lower temperature specification provides operational capability in colder environments. Both parts maintain the same upper temperature limit.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNEJ38008 and RJSAEJ38008 are RoHS compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity level ratings (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: Why is the RJSNEJ38008 classified as obsolete?

A: The RJSNEJ38008 is an older product in the RJSNE series. The RJSAEJ38008 from the RJSAE series represents the current active equivalent, offering the same functionality with ongoing manufacturer support and supply availability.

Q: What is the difference between the RJSNE and RJSAE series designations?

A: The series designation reflects product line evolution within Amphenol ICC's modular connector portfolio. The RJSAE series (represented by RJSAEJ38008) is the current active series, while the RJSNE series (represented by RJSNEJ38008) is obsolete. Both series maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications for this connector type.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The RJSAEJ38008 is a direct functional equivalent to the RJSNEJ38008. Both connectors feature identical contact configuration, shielding, termination method, and mounting characteristics, enabling direct substitution in existing designs.
