Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SS-73100-030 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Number of Ports: 16
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Tab Direction: Up and Down
• LED Color: Does Not Contain LED
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 5569254-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Minor variations in contact material (Phosphor Bronze vs. Copper Alloy), contact finish thickness (50.0µin vs. 30.0µin), housing material composition, and category rating (Cat5 vs. Cat5e) do not prevent functional equivalence in applications where the original part is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SS-73100-030 and 5569254-1 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: SS-73100-030 has 1146 units in stock; 5569254-1 has 1368 units in stock
• Manufacturer preference: Stewart Connector vs. TE Connectivity AMP Connectors
• Contact material specification: Copper Alloy (SS-73100-030) vs. Phosphor Bronze (5569254-1)
• Category rating requirement: Cat5e (SS-73100-030) vs. Cat5 (5569254-1)

Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 8p8c modular jack connector applications with through-hole solder termination and right-angle orientation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5569254-1 be used as a direct replacement for SS-73100-030?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type, contact count, port configuration, mounting method, orientation, termination style, shielding, operating temperature range, and tab direction. The parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for applications requiring 8p8c RJ45 Ethernet jack connectors with through-hole solder termination.

Q: What is the difference between Cat5 and Cat5e ratings?

A: Cat5e provides enhanced performance specifications compared to Cat5. The SS-73100-030 is rated Cat5e, while 5569254-1 is rated Cat5. Selection should align with application bandwidth and performance requirements.

Q: Does the contact material difference affect compatibility?

A: Contact material composition (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze) and finish thickness (30.0µin vs. 50.0µin) represent manufacturing variations. Both materials with gold plating provide adequate conductivity and corrosion resistance for standard Ethernet applications. Material selection should be confirmed against specific application requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SS-73100-030 and 5569254-1 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for standard PCB assembly and storage conditions.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tray packaging, standard for modular connector distribution.
