SS-6488S-A-NF-SB02 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SS-6488S-A-NF-SB02 is a modular jack connector manufactured by Stewart Connector, designed for 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) applications with 90° right-angle orientation and shielded construction. This through-hole solder-terminated connector features board lock and shorting capabilities, operating across -40°C to 85°C. The part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main connector's specifications, enabling component interchangeability in applications requiring modular jack connectivity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SS-6488S-A-NF-SB02 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Jack connector with 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet) contact arrangement
• Mounting & Orientation: Through-hole mounting with 90° right-angle orientation
• Termination Method: Solder termination for PCB integration
• Shielding: Shielded construction for EMI protection
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C operational envelope

The identified substitutes (61500814221 and 7499011002A) maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct functional replacement in equivalent circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

61500814221 (Würth Elektronik WR-MJ Series): This substitute maintains full parameter alignment with the main part across all critical specifications. Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), shielding configuration, through-hole solder termination, and ROHS3/MSL 1 compliance are identical. Housing material differs (PBT versus thermoplastic) but does not affect functional equivalence. This part is suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring Cat3 rated modular jack connectivity.

7499011002A (Würth Elektronik WE-RJ45 LAN Series): This substitute provides functional compatibility for 10/100 Base-T and AutoMDIX applications with enhanced shielding (EMI Finger configuration). Operating temperature range is restricted to 0°C to 70°C, representing a narrower envelope than the main part. This part is suitable for replacement in applications operating within the 0°C to 70°C range where 10/100 Base-T functionality is required. ROHS3 and MSL 1 compliance are maintained.

Both substitutes maintain active product status and full regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 61500814221 replace SS-6488S-A-NF-SB02 in all applications? A: Yes. The 61500814221 maintains identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), shielding, termination method, and compliance ratings. Housing material variation (PBT versus thermoplastic) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard modular jack applications.

Q: What is the key limitation of 7499011002A as a substitute? A: The 7499011002A operates within a restricted temperature range (0°C to 70°C) compared to the main part (-40°C to 85°C). This substitute is appropriate only for applications operating within this narrower envelope. Additionally, this part is specified for 10/100 Base-T and AutoMDIX functionality.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. Both substitute parts (61500814221 and 7499011002A) maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the main part's regulatory status.

Q: What packaging differences exist among these parts? A: SS-6488S-A-NF-SB02 packaging is not specified. 61500814221 is supplied in Tray packaging. 7499011002A is supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging does not affect connector functionality or interchangeability.

Q: Do all parts support through-hole solder termination? A: Yes. All three connectors (main part and both substitutes) utilize through-hole solder termination for PCB integration.
