Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SI-60160-F is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Port Configuration: RJ45 jack, single port, 8p8c contact arrangement
• Mounting & Orientation: Through hole solder termination with 90° right-angle orientation
• Electrical Protection: Shielded construction for EMI/RFI suppression
• Contact Specifications: Gold-plated finish at 50.0µin thickness on phosphor bronze or copper alloy base material
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating for unlimited moisture exposure
• Operating Range: Temperature range compatibility within specified limits

The substitute part 5557786-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets these core substitution criteria through equivalent mechanical fit, electrical performance characteristics, and regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SI-60160-F and 5557786-1 are Active product status components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, qualifying them for equivalent use in 10/100 Base-T Ethernet applications. The substitute part 5557786-1 provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C versus 0°C ~ 70°C), which may offer additional thermal margin in applications requiring broader environmental tolerance. Contact finish specifications, shielding construction, and solder termination characteristics are equivalent between both parts. Selection between these components should be based on inventory availability, lead time requirements, and specific application temperature constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5557786-1 be used as a direct replacement for SI-60160-F in 10/100 Base-T applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical RJ45 jack configuration, 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination, shielded construction, and gold-plated contact finish at 50.0µin thickness. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is established through these aligned parameters.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range between these parts?

A: The SI-60160-F operates from 0°C to 70°C, while the 5557786-1 operates from -40°C to 85°C. The substitute part provides extended low and high temperature capability. Application requirements determine whether this extended range is necessary.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both SI-60160-F and 5557786-1 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and assembly.

Q: What is the significance of the 50.0µin contact finish thickness specification?

A: The 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating thickness on both parts ensures consistent contact resistance, durability, and corrosion resistance in Ethernet jack applications. This specification is identical between the main part and substitute, confirming electrical performance equivalence.

Q: Are there packaging differences between SI-60160-F and 5557786-1?

A: The SI-60160-F is supplied in standard packaging, while 5557786-1 is packaged in Tray format. Packaging differences do not affect connector functionality or electrical performance; they relate only to inventory management and assembly line handling.
