SI-60006-F RJ45 Modular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SI-60006-F is a 1-port RJ45 through-hole modular connector manufactured by Stewart Connector, designed for 10/100 Base-T and AutoMDIX applications. This connector features a 90° right-angle orientation with solder termination and is classified as Active product status. The part is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating broad environmental compatibility. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in PCB designs without functional compromise.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SI-60006-F is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector Type: RJ45 (8p8c modular jack configuration)
• Number of Ports: 1 port minimum
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded configuration
• Applications: 10/100 Base-T or 10/100 Base-TX with AutoMDIX support
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Compliance: ROHS3 and MSL 1 rating

All three identified substitute parts meet these core criteria. Variations in contact material, contact finish thickness, shield material composition, and height above board do not preclude substitution when the primary functional and electrical parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts maintain Active product status and full compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations. Selection among SI-60006-F, 7499010004A, J0012D21NL, and 95678-001LF should be based on:

• Supply chain availability and lead time requirements
• PCB layout constraints related to height above board (range: 13.75mm to 13.97mm)
• Operating temperature range requirements (95678-001LF supports -40°C to 70°C; others support 0°C to 70°C)
• Packaging format preference (Tube, Tray, or unspecified)
• Contact material and finish thickness specifications for specific electrical performance needs

All parts are suitable for direct substitution in 10/100 Base-T Ethernet applications with AutoMDIX functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SI-60006-F be replaced with 7499010004A in production? A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (RJ45), port count (1), mounting method (through hole), orientation (90° right angle), termination (solder), shielding (shielded), and application support (10/100 Base-T AutoMDIX). Height above board differs by 0.22mm (13.97mm vs 13.75mm), which is within typical PCB design tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between 95678-001LF and the other substitutes? A: 95678-001LF is specified as Cat5 rated with EMI finger shielding and operates across -40°C to 70°C, providing the widest temperature range. Contact material is phosphor bronze with 5.00µin gold finish thickness, compared to copper alloy or tin in other options. All other core parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Does J0012D21NL support AutoMDIX like the original SI-60006-F? A: Yes. J0012D21NL is specified for 10/100 Base-TX with AutoMDIX, providing equivalent functionality. It includes EMI finger shielding and operates at 0°C to 70°C.

Q: Are there height above board considerations for PCB layout? A: Yes. Heights range from 13.75mm (7499010004A) to 13.97mm (SI-60006-F), a 0.22mm variance. Verify PCB clearance specifications before substitution, particularly in space-constrained designs.

Q: Which substitute offers the best temperature performance? A: 95678-001LF supports -40°C to 70°C operating range, exceeding the 0°C to 70°C range of 7499010004A and J0012D21NL. Select based on application environmental requirements.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant? A: Yes. SI-60006-F, 7499010004A, J0012D21NL, and 95678-001LF are all RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.
