Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNEJ38G08 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

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

The RJSAE538G08 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in applications requiring 8p8c shielded modular jack connectors with right-angle through-hole solder termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538G08 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete RJSNEJ38G08. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The RJSAE538G08 maintains active product status with Amphenol ICC, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. The RJSNEJ38G08 is classified as obsolete, making the RJSAE538G08 the appropriate choice for new designs and production continuity.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification (8536.69.4040), ensuring regulatory equivalence for export and procurement purposes.

Mechanical and Electrical Interface: The RJSAE538G08 provides complete mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with the RJSNEJ38G08 across all critical parameters: 8p8c contact configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielded EMI design, and phosphor bronze gold-plated contacts.

Performance Enhancements: The RJSAE538G08 offers performance improvements over the main part specification: 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), providing enhanced durability and thermal capability without compromising compatibility.

Packaging Consideration: The RJSAE538G08 is supplied in tray packaging, whereas the RJSNEJ38G08 packaging specification is not provided. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538G08 be used as a direct replacement for the RJSNEJ38G08 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538G08 provides complete functional equivalence across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. Both connectors feature identical 8p8c contact configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, and shielded EMI design. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and performance specifications. The RJSAE538G08 is active production, while the RJSNEJ38G08 is obsolete. The RJSAE538G08 provides extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) and increased contact finish thickness (50.0µin), both of which exceed the RJSNEJ38G08 specifications without introducing incompatibility.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB layout or footprint?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both connectors share identical mounting type (through-hole), orientation (90° right-angle), and mechanical interface specifications. PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Does the increased contact finish thickness on the RJSAE538G08 affect performance?

A: No. The increased contact finish thickness (50.0µin on RJSAE538G08 versus 30.0µin on RJSNEJ38G08) provides enhanced durability and wear resistance without affecting electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the extended operating temperature range on the RJSAE538G08?

A: The RJSAE538G08 operates from -55°C to 85°C, compared to -40°C to 85°C for the RJSNEJ38G08. This extended lower temperature limit provides additional thermal margin for applications requiring operation in cold environments, while maintaining full compatibility with the original specification range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNEJ38G08 and RJSAE538G08 are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, ensuring regulatory equivalence for procurement and export purposes.

Q: What packaging is available for the RJSAE538G08?

A: The RJSAE538G08 is supplied in tray packaging. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement department to ensure compatibility with your assembly and logistics processes.
