SS-6488-NF-K1-50-M07 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SS-6488-NF-K1-50-M07 is a modular jack connector (8p8c/RJ45) manufactured by Stewart Connector, designed for Ethernet and network applications. This connector features a 90° right-angle orientation, shielded construction, and through-hole solder termination. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SS-6488-NF-K1-50-M07 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and configuration (8p8c/RJ45 jack)
• Orientation (90° right-angle)
• Mounting method (through-hole solder termination)
• Shielding requirement (shielded)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Contact material and finish (copper alloy with gold plating)

The SS-6488-NF-K1 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. However, this part differs in one critical parameter: shielding. The SS-6488-NF-K1 is unshielded, whereas the original part is shielded. This difference must be evaluated against application requirements before substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SS-6488-NF-K1 is the active product replacement from Stewart Connector for the obsolete SS-6488-NF-K1-50-M07. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical characteristics for connector type, configuration, orientation, mounting, and termination.

The primary distinction is shielding: the substitute part is unshielded. Applications requiring electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection or operating in electrically noisy environments must evaluate whether the unshielded configuration is acceptable. The substitute also features a thinner gold contact finish (30.0µin versus 50.0µin), which remains within standard specifications for RJ45 connectors.

The SS-6488-NF-K1 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas compliance status is not specified for the obsolete part. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance documentation, the active substitute is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SS-6488-NF-K1 directly replace the SS-6488-NF-K1-50-M07?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed for standard Ethernet applications. The unshielded design of the substitute must be evaluated against the original shielded specification. If EMI shielding is required by the application, alternative shielded connectors must be sourced.

Q: What is the impact of the thinner gold contact finish on the substitute part?

A: The SS-6488-NF-K1 features 30.0µin gold plating compared to 50.0µin on the original part. Both thicknesses meet standard RJ45 contact durability requirements. Contact finish thickness does not affect electrical performance in standard network applications.

Q: Is the SS-6488-NF-K1 suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Both the original and substitute parts operate across the same temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). No thermal performance difference exists between the two connectors.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The SS-6488-NF-K1 is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the original part packaging is not specified. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current regulatory standards?

A: The SS-6488-NF-K1 is ROHS3 compliant. For applications requiring specific regulatory certifications, confirm that this compliance status meets your system requirements.
