Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RJSNEJF8008 qualifies for substitution with RJSAE538008 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Both are Jack connectors with identical 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) contact arrangements
• Mounting & Orientation: Both feature through-hole mounting and 90° right-angle orientation
• Termination & Shielding: Both utilize solder termination with shielded construction
• Contact Material & Finish: Both employ phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish
• Housing & Environmental Ratings: Both use thermoplastic housing with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating
• Board Lock Feature: Both include board lock functionality

The primary difference is that RJSAE538008 includes EMI finger shielding and operates over an extended temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538008 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJF8008. Selection between these parts is determined by the following factors:

RJSAE538008 is the recommended choice when:

• Active product availability is required for new designs and production
• Extended lower temperature operating range (-55°C) is necessary for the application
• Enhanced EMI shielding through EMI finger technology is beneficial
• Higher contact finish thickness (50.0µin) offers improved durability for high-cycle mating applications

RJSNEJF8008 may be retained only for:

• Legacy equipment maintenance where exact physical and electrical compatibility is critical
• End-of-life support where inventory is still available

Both components maintain identical mechanical footprints, electrical performance within their respective temperature ranges, and full RoHS compliance. The RJSAE538008 provides superior specifications with active product status, making it the appropriate choice for all new applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538008 directly replace RJSNEJF8008 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical 8p8c jack configuration, through-hole mounting, 90° right-angle orientation, solder termination, and board lock functionality. The RJSAE538008 meets or exceeds all electrical and mechanical specifications of the obsolete RJSNEJF8008.

Q: What is the significance of the EMI Finger feature in RJSAE538008?

A: The EMI Finger provides additional electromagnetic interference shielding beyond standard shielding. This enhancement reduces signal degradation in environments with high electromagnetic noise, though both parts maintain shielded construction.

Q: Does the difference in contact finish thickness affect compatibility?

A: No. Both 30.0µin (0.76µm) and 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold finishes provide equivalent electrical contact resistance and mating characteristics. The thicker finish on RJSAE538008 extends service life in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: RJSNEJF8008 packaging information was not provided. RJSAE538008 is supplied in Tray packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement specification.

Q: Can both parts operate across the full -55°C to 85°C temperature range?

A: RJSAE538008 operates across -55°C to 85°C. RJSNEJF8008 is rated for -40°C to 85°C. For applications requiring sub-zero temperatures below -40°C, RJSAE538008 is required.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant and suitable for regulated industries?

A: Yes. Both RJSNEJF8008 and RJSAE538008 are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, suitable for aerospace, medical, and industrial applications without moisture sensitivity constraints.
