RJSNEJF8L08

Part Overview

The RJSNEJF8L08 is a modular jack connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products), conforming to the 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) standard with a 90° right-angle orientation and shielded design. This product is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating evaluation of active alternative components for new designs and replacement applications. The connector features board lock functionality, dual LED indicators (green and yellow-red), and is fully RoHS compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RJSNEJF8L08 must meet the following critical parameters to ensure direct substitution:

• Contact Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) modular connector jack
• Orientation: 90° right-angle configuration
• Mounting Type: Through-hole solder termination
• Shielding: Shielded connector design
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic construction
• Contact Material: Phosphor bronze with gold finish
• Tab Direction: Up and down orientation
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 8 ports in 2 rows

The RJSAE538H08 meets these substitution criteria while providing an active product status and enhanced EMI protection through an integrated EMI finger, making it a viable alternative for ongoing production and design updates.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538H08 is the designated substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJF8L08. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and maintain full RoHS compliance with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications for 8p8c modular connector jack applications. The RJSAE538H08 provides additional benefits through integrated EMI finger shielding and an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to +85°C), supporting broader environmental applications. The thicker gold contact finish (50.0µin versus 30.0µin) on the substitute component enhances long-term contact durability and wear resistance. For designs currently using the RJSNEJF8L08, migration to the RJSAE538H08 is supported by identical form factors, mounting configurations, and electrical pinout compatibility. Component selection should prioritize the active RJSAE538H08 for new designs and procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538H08 directly replace the RJSNEJF8L08 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical 8p8c contact configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder mounting, thermoplastic housing, and tab direction specifications. PCB layout modifications are not required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the EMI finger feature on the RJSAE538H08?

A: The EMI finger provides enhanced electromagnetic interference shielding beyond the standard shielded design. This feature is a supplementary enhancement that does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility with existing circuit designs.

Q: Does the thicker gold plating on the RJSAE538H08 affect compatibility?

A: No. The increased contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 30.0µin) improves contact durability without affecting electrical properties or mechanical mating characteristics. This change is directly beneficial for connector longevity.

Q: Are there temperature range differences between the two connectors?

A: The RJSAE538H08 operates across -55°C to +85°C, compared to -40°C to +85°C for the RJSNEJF8L08. This extended lower temperature limit expands application capability without narrowing the available operating range.

Q: Why is the RJSNEJF8L08 listed as obsolete?

A: Component obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation of production. The RJSAE538H08 is the active equivalent, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity for RJ45 modular jack connector applications.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNEJF8L08 and RJSAE538H08 are fully RoHS compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited), supporting environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial electronics applications.
