Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete RJSNEJ38F08 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Contact Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• 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 RJSAE538EA8 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete RJSNEJ38F08.
