Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNEJ38PA8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Method: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded, EMI Finger
• Number of Ports: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Features: Board Lock
• Tab Direction: Up and Down
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RJSAE538B08 meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. Differences in contact finish thickness and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution within the specified electrical and mechanical requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RJSNEJ38PA8 (Obsolete): This part is no longer in active production. While inventory remains available, long-term procurement and supply chain continuity cannot be assured for obsolete components.

RJSAE538B08 (Active Substitute): This component is classified as active and maintains current manufacturing status. It satisfies all electrical and mechanical requirements equivalent to the RJSNEJ38PA8. The RJSAE538B08 features an 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), both of which provide enhanced performance margins. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating. The RJSAE538B08 is the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538B08 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNEJ38PA8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 8p8c RJ45 configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielding with EMI finger, board lock feature, and thermoplastic housing. The RJSAE538B08 provides equivalent or superior performance characteristics.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Product Status—RJSNEJ38PA8 is obsolete while RJSAE538B08 is active; (2) Contact Finish Thickness—RJSAE538B08 provides 50.0µin versus 30.0µin; (3) Operating Temperature Range—RJSAE538B08 extends to -55°C minimum versus -40°C; (4) LED Color Options—RJSAE538B08 offers Red, Green - Red, Green versus Green - Red, Green. These differences do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between RJSNEJ38PA8 and RJSAE538B08?

A: RJSNEJ38PA8 packaging information is not specified in the provided data. RJSAE538B08 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both RJSNEJ38PA8 and RJSAE538B08 are RoHS Compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Which part should be selected for new production designs?

A: RJSAE538B08 is the appropriate selection for new designs. As an active product with current manufacturing support, it ensures supply chain continuity and long-term availability.
