Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNEJ386A8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Contact Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Number of Ports: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination Method: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded, EMI Finger
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RJSNEJ386A8 has one identified substitute part: RJSAE538608. This substitute maintains equivalence across all mandatory parameters while operating within compatible temperature and contact finish thickness specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSNEJ386A8 is classified as obsolete. The RJSAE538608 is the identified substitute part and carries active product status from Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products).

Selection Basis:

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The RJSAE538608 offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C) provides broader environmental compatibility
• Increased contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 30.0µin) enhances durability and contact reliability
• Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications

The RJSAE538608 is functionally and mechanically interchangeable with the RJSNEJ386A8 for all 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) jack applications requiring 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination with shielding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538608 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNEJ386A8?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), mounting type (through hole), orientation (90° right angle), termination method (solder), and shielding characteristics (shielded with EMI finger). The RJSAE538608 is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness between these parts?

A: The RJSNEJ386A8 has a contact finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), while the RJSAE538608 has 50.0µin (1.27µm). The thicker finish on the substitute part provides enhanced contact durability and wear resistance.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of RJSAE538608 affect compatibility?

A: No. The RJSAE538608 operating range (-55°C ~ 85°C) encompasses the RJSNEJ386A8 range (-40°C ~ 85°C). This extended range does not introduce incompatibility; it provides additional environmental flexibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNEJ386A8 and RJSAE538608 are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The RJSNEJ386A8 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The RJSAE538608 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Why is RJSNEJ386A8 marked as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The RJSAE538608 active status indicates Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) continues to support this connector family through the newer series designation.
