Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE-5385-08 is the direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJ38R08. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet jack connectors with right-angle through-hole solder termination and EMI shielding.

Substitution Basis:

The RJSAE-5385-08 maintains full compatibility across all critical parameters: connector type, contact configuration, mounting orientation, termination method, shielding architecture, and contact materials. Both parts are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Specification Enhancements in RJSAE-5385-08:

The substitute part provides 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), offering enhanced durability and environmental performance. The RJSAE-5385-08 carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Packaging Consideration:

The RJSAE-5385-08 is supplied in tray packaging, whereas the RJSNEJ38R08 packaging specification was not provided. Verify packaging requirements for your assembly process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE-5385-08 directly replace the RJSNEJ38R08 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors are 8p8c RJ45 jack connectors with identical through-hole solder termination, right-angle orientation, shielding configuration, and board lock features. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

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

A: The RJSNEJ38R08 has 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating, while the RJSAE-5385-08 has 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating. The thicker plating on the substitute part provides enhanced contact durability and corrosion resistance.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of the RJSAE-5385-08 affect compatibility?

A: No. The RJSAE-5385-08 operating range of -55°C to 85°C encompasses the original part's -40°C to 85°C range. This represents an improvement in environmental capability with no compatibility impact.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNEJ38R08 and RJSAE-5385-08 are RoHS compliant with identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: The RJSNEJ38R08 packaging was not specified in available documentation. The RJSAE-5385-08 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm tray packaging compatibility with your assembly and handling procedures.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both parts use phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, identical shielding with EMI fingers, and equivalent electrical specifications for 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet applications.

Q: Why is the RJSNEJ38R08 classified as obsolete?

A: The RJSNEJ38R08 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The RJSAE-5385-08 is the active equivalent offering identical functionality with enhanced specifications and assured long-term availability.
