Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RJSNEJ380A8 can be substituted with equivalent parts based on alignment of the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Connector type: Jack modular connector
• Contact configuration: 8p8c (RJ45/Ethernet)
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Orientation: 90° angle (right)
• Termination method: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded with EMI finger
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze
• Contact finish: Gold plated
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• Features: Board lock
• Compliance: RoHS compliant

The substitute part RJSAE538008 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical characteristics necessary for functional equivalence. Both parts share identical connector architecture, contact configuration, mounting methodology, and shielding approach. The primary distinction lies in product status and packaging configuration, with RJSAE538008 being an active production part available in tray packaging.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: RJSAE538008

The RJSAE538008 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJ380A8. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector architecture, contact configuration, mounting methodology, and shielding characteristics.

Product Status Consideration: The RJSAE538008 holds active production status with documented inventory availability (771 pieces in stock), ensuring long-term supply chain viability compared to the obsolete RJSNEJ380A8.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and are classified under identical trade codes (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8536.69.4040), indicating equivalent regulatory standing.

Contact Finish Thickness Differential: The RJSAE538008 provides a higher gold contact finish thickness of 50.0µin (1.27µm) compared to the RJSNEJ380A8 specification of 30.0µin (0.76µm). This increased plating thickness enhances durability and extends contact life without introducing functional incompatibility.

Operating Temperature Range Extension: The RJSAE538008 extends the lower operating temperature boundary to -55°C (versus -40°C on the RJSNEJ380A8), providing expanded environmental operational capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538008 directly replace RJSNEJ380A8 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical through-hole mounting footprints, 90° right-angle orientation, solder termination methodology, and 8p8c (RJ45/Ethernet) contact configuration. No PCB redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference?

A: The RJSAE538008 specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating versus 30.0µin (0.76µm) on the RJSNEJ380A8. The increased thickness provides extended contact durability and mating cycle capability without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RJSNEJ380A8 packaging specification is not documented in the provided data. The RJSAE538008 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your assembly process before finalizing sourcing decisions.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range on RJSAE538008 affect compatibility?

A: No. The RJSAE538008 operating range of -55°C ~ 85°C encompasses the RJSNEJ380A8 range of -40°C ~ 85°C. The extended lower temperature specification provides additional environmental operational margin without introducing functional limitations.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RJSNEJ380A8 and RJSAE538008 maintain RoHS compliance status and share identical regulatory classification (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8536.69.4040).

Q: What is the board lock feature, and is it consistent across both parts?

A: The board lock feature is present on both connectors, providing mechanical retention to the PCB during assembly and operation. This feature is consistent and functionally equivalent between parts.
