Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RJSNEJF8T08 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS Compliance: Yes

Allowable Variations:

• Contact Finish Thickness: May vary within industry specifications
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute may extend the upper or lower limits
• LED Color Options: May differ based on application requirements
• EMI Finger Configuration: May be present in substitute designs
• Product Status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability

The RJSAE538B08 meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJF8T08.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJSAE538B08 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete RJSNEJF8T08 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The RJSAE538B08 maintains active product status with Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products), ensuring ongoing availability, technical support, and supply chain continuity. The RJSNEJF8T08 is obsolete and no longer manufactured.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance status (RoHS Compliant) and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, ensuring regulatory and export compliance equivalence.

Functional Compatibility: The RJSAE538B08 preserves all critical functional parameters: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielded design, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, and board lock features.

Enhanced Specifications: The RJSAE538B08 provides 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 improved durability and thermal performance. The addition of EMI finger shielding in the substitute provides enhanced electromagnetic interference rejection.

Packaging Consideration: The RJSAE538B08 is supplied in Tray packaging, whereas the RJSNEJF8T08 packaging specification was not provided. Verify packaging requirements for your assembly process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJSAE538B08 directly replace the RJSNEJF8T08 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538B08 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution. Both connectors feature identical 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) jack configuration, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination, shielded design, and board lock functionality. The substitute maintains the same contact material (phosphor bronze) and finish (gold) with compatible housing and operating characteristics.

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Product Status—RJSAE538B08 is active while RJSNEJF8T08 is obsolete; (2) Contact Finish Thickness—RJSAE538B08 provides 50.0µin (1.27µm) versus 30.0µin (0.76µm); (3) Operating Temperature Range—RJSAE538B08 extends to -55°C minimum versus -40°C; (4) Shielding Configuration—RJSAE538B08 includes EMI Finger enhancement; (5) LED Color Options—RJSAE538B08 offers Red and Green versus Red only; (6) Packaging—RJSAE538B08 is supplied in Tray format.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the increased contact finish thickness?

A: No. The increased contact finish thickness (50.0µin in the substitute versus 30.0µin in the original) provides enhanced durability and wear resistance without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility. This represents an improvement in contact longevity.

Q: Does the EMI Finger feature in the RJSAE538B08 affect compatibility?

A: No. The EMI Finger is an additional shielding enhancement that improves electromagnetic interference rejection. It does not compromise compatibility with existing designs and provides superior EMI performance.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RJSNEJF8T08 and RJSAE538B08 are RoHS Compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for the RJSAE538B08?

A: The RJSAE538B08 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), identical to the RJSNEJF8T08. This indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Should the extended operating temperature range of the RJSAE538B08 affect my design decision?

A: The extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) of the RJSAE538B08 provides additional thermal margin compared to the RJSNEJF8T08 (-40°C to 85°C). This represents a specification enhancement with no negative impact on existing designs operating within the original temperature range.
