Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNEJ38D08 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Jack)
• Contact configuration (8p8c RJ45 Ethernet)
• Port and row count (8 ports, 2 rows)
• Contact material and finish (Phosphor Bronze with Gold plating)
• Shielding specification (Shielded with EMI finger)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Orientation (90° Angle Right)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Housing material (Thermoplastic)
• Environmental compliance (RoHS Compliant, MSL 1)

The RJSAE538H08 meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete RJSNEJ38D08.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538H08 is the direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJ38D08. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet jack applications with 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination and shielding.

Compliance Status: Both parts are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, meeting environmental and reliability standards for commercial applications.

Operational Advantage: The RJSAE538H08 operates across an extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C) compared to the RJSNEJ38D08 (-40°C ~ 85°C), providing broader thermal operating capability while maintaining all other functional equivalence.

Availability: The RJSAE538H08 is classified as an active product with current inventory availability, ensuring reliable sourcing for new designs and replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538H08 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNEJ38D08 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type, contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), mounting type (through-hole), orientation (90° right-angle), termination method (solder), shielding specification (shielded with EMI finger), and housing material (thermoplastic). They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

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

A: The RJSNEJ38D08 has a contact finish thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), while the RJSAE538H08 has 50.0µin (1.27µm). Both use gold plating over phosphor bronze contacts and meet the same functional requirements.

Q: Does the RJSAE538H08 support the same operating temperature range?

A: The RJSAE538H08 supports a wider operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C) compared to the RJSNEJ38D08 (-40°C ~ 85°C). This extended lower temperature capability does not affect compatibility in applications requiring the original -40°C ~ 85°C range.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNEJ38D08 and RJSAE538H08 are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial electronic applications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The RJSNEJ38D08 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The RJSAE538H08 is classified as active, ensuring ongoing availability, current manufacturing support, and supply chain reliability for new and replacement applications.

Q: Are the LED color indicators the same on both connectors?

A: The RJSNEJ38D08 features Green and Yellow LED colors, while the RJSAE538H08 features Green and Yellow LED colors. Both provide the same visual indication capability for link and activity status in Ethernet applications.
