Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNEJ38608 is based on strict equivalence 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
• Tab Direction: Up and Down
• Board Lock Feature: Present

The RJSAE538608 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete RJSNEJ38608.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538608 is the direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJ38608. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical functional specifications for connector type, contact configuration, orientation, termination method, and shielding characteristics.

Compliance Status: Both parts are RoHS Compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, ensuring regulatory equivalence.

Operational Differences: The RJSAE538608 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), offering enhanced durability and thermal performance.

Product Status: The RJSAE538608 is classified as active, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete RJSNEJ38608.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538608 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNEJ38608 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type (8p8c RJ45 Jack), orientation (90° right-angle), mounting method (through-hole solder), shielding (EMI finger), and mechanical features (board lock). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (RJSNEJ38608 is obsolete; RJSAE538608 is active), contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus 50.0µin), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -55°C to 85°C). The RJSAE538608 offers enhanced performance specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538608 is supplied in Tray packaging, while the RJSNEJ38608 packaging is not specified. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both RJSNEJ38608 and RJSAE538608 are RoHS Compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness difference, and does it affect performance?

A: The RJSAE538608 has a contact finish thickness of 50.0µin (1.27µm) compared to 30.0µin (0.76µm) for the RJSNEJ38608. The increased thickness on the substitute part provides enhanced wear resistance and contact durability.

Q: Is the extended temperature range of RJSAE538608 significant?

A: The RJSAE538608 operates from -55°C to 85°C, compared to -40°C to 85°C for the RJSNEJ38608. The extended lower temperature limit provides additional operational margin for applications requiring low-temperature performance.
