Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNEJ38M08 is determined by strict compatibility across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack modular connector
• Contact Configuration: 8P8C (RJ45/Ethernet) with 8 ports and 2 rows
• Mounting Type: Through hole solder termination
• Orientation: 90° right angle
• Shielding: Shielded with EMI finger protection
• Contact Material and Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold plating
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic construction
• Compliance: RoHS compliant with MSL Level 1

The RJSAE538708 satisfies all core substitution criteria, with documented differences in product status, LED color indicators, contact finish thickness, and operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538708 is a functional substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJ38M08. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 8P8C contact configuration, through-hole solder termination, 90° right-angle orientation, shielding with EMI finger, and phosphor bronze gold-plated contacts.

The RJSAE538708 offers additional advantages: active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support, 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), which may provide enhanced durability in repetitive mating cycles.

Both components are RoHS compliant with identical MSL Level 1 classification and ECCN/HTSUS coding, ensuring compliance continuity in design migration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the RJSAE538708 a valid substitute for the RJSNEJ38M08?

A: Both connectors share identical contact configuration (8P8C RJ45), mounting method (through-hole solder), orientation (90° right angle), and shielding characteristics (shielded with EMI finger). Both use phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating and thermoplastic housing. These parameters define mechanical and electrical compatibility for modular jack connectors in this category.

Q: Are there differences between these parts I should consider?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538708 has active product status (versus obsolete), operates across an extended temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C), features thicker gold plating (50.0µin versus 30.0µin), and uses different LED color indicators (Red-Green versus Red-Yellow). These differences do not affect functional compatibility but may influence long-term availability and environmental performance.

Q: Does the different contact finish thickness affect compatibility?

A: The RJSAE538708 has thicker gold plating (50.0µin versus 30.0µin). Both finishes meet gold plating specifications for modular connectors. The increased thickness in the substitute part provides additional protection against wear in mating cycles.

Q: How does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The RJSNEJ38M08 uses standard packaging, while the RJSAE538708 ships in trays. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may influence handling, storage, and bulk ordering considerations.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNEJ38M08 and RJSAE538708 are RoHS compliant with identical MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring regulatory continuity in design transitions.

Q: Should I use the RJSAE538708 to replace RJSNEJ38M08 in existing designs?

A: The RJSAE538708 is functionally compatible with the RJSNEJ38M08 across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. The active product status of the RJSAE538708 makes it the appropriate choice for new designs and legacy system support where the original part is no longer available.
