Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNEJ38908 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

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

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Contact Finish Thickness: Variation permitted within industry tolerance
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute may extend the upper or lower limit
• Product Status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability

The substitute part RJSAE538908 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and represents a direct functional equivalent with enhanced specifications in contact finish thickness and extended lower operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: RJSAE538908

The RJSAE538908 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJ38908. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Advantages of RJSAE538908:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain support
• Enhanced contact finish thickness (50.0µin vs. 30.0µin) provides improved durability and contact reliability
• Extended lower operating temperature range (-55°C vs. -40°C) supports broader environmental applications
• RoHS Compliant certification maintained
• Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) eliminates moisture sensitivity concerns

Compliance Considerations: Both parts carry identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4040) and RoHS compliance status, ensuring no regulatory barriers to substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538908 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNEJ38908 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538908 maintains identical connector type, pin configuration (8p8c RJ45), mounting method (through-hole), orientation (90° right-angle), termination (solder), and shielding characteristics. No design modifications are required.

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

A: The RJSAE538908 features 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating compared to 30.0µin (0.76µm) on the RJSNEJ38908. Increased plating thickness enhances contact durability, reduces wear during mating cycles, and improves long-term reliability in high-cycle applications.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of RJSAE538908 affect compatibility?

A: No. The RJSAE538908 extends the lower operating limit to -55°C while maintaining the same upper limit (85°C). This represents an enhancement that maintains full backward compatibility with the original -40°C ~ 85°C specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RJSNEJ38908 packaging information is not specified in available data. The RJSAE538908 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Is the RJSAE538908 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538908 carries full RoHS compliance certification, matching the compliance status of the RJSNEJ38908.

Q: What is the current inventory status for RJSAE538908?

A: The RJSAE538908 has 842 pieces of new original stock available. The RJSNEJ38908 (obsolete) has 993 pieces in stock but is no longer in active production.
