Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNEJ38208 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded, EMI Finger
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part RJSAE538208 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. Variations in contact finish thickness and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution, as these represent enhanced or extended specifications rather than functional incompatibilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538208 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJ38208. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Product Status Consideration: The RJSNEJ38208 is classified as obsolete, while the RJSAE538208 maintains active product status. This distinction ensures continued availability and manufacturing support for the substitute part.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts carry RoHS Compliant certification and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, ensuring regulatory and trade compliance equivalence.

Enhanced Specifications: The RJSAE538208 provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C) and increased contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 30.0µin), representing performance enhancements that do not compromise backward compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538208 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNEJ38208 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538208 satisfies all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Both connectors feature identical 8p8c RJ45 configurations, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielding with EMI finger, and board lock functionality.

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

A: The RJSAE538208 features 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating compared to 30.0µin (0.76µm) on the RJSNEJ38208. This increased thickness provides enhanced durability and contact reliability without affecting electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of RJSAE538208 affect compatibility?

A: No. The RJSAE538208 operating range of -55°C to 85°C encompasses the RJSNEJ38208 range of -40°C to 85°C. The extended lower temperature limit represents an enhancement that maintains full compatibility with existing thermal specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RJSNEJ38208 packaging information is not specified in the provided data. The RJSAE538208 is supplied in Tray packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts carry the same regulatory certifications?

A: Yes. Both RJSNEJ38208 and RJSAE538208 are RoHS Compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: Why is RJSNEJ38208 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturing discontinuation by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). The RJSAE538208 represents the active equivalent, ensuring continued supply chain access for this connector type.
