Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SS-74402-003 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Jack connector with 8p8c (RJ45/Ethernet) contact arrangement
  • Physical Orientation & Mounting: 90° right-angle orientation with through-hole solder termination
  • Electrical & Mechanical Protection: Shielded design with EMI finger and board lock functionality
  • Contact Properties: Phosphor bronze material with gold plating (50.0µin thickness)
  • Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity level
  • Functional Features: Dual-port configuration with green LED indicators and upward tab direction

The RJHSE-5385-02 from Amphenol ICC meets all these critical parameters, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent despite differences in housing material composition and extended operating temperature range.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJHSE-5385-02 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete SS-74402-003. Selection is based on:

  • Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters match the original specification
  • Product Availability: The substitute maintains active product status with documented inventory, ensuring supply chain continuity
  • Regulatory Compliance: The RJHSE-5385-02 carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting current environmental standards
  • Extended Operating Range: The substitute provides a lower minimum operating temperature (-55°C versus -40°C), offering enhanced performance margin in cold environments
  • Standardized Certifications: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RJHSE-5385-02 be used as a direct replacement for SS-74402-003 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJHSE-5385-02 matches all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, orientation, mounting method, termination, shielding, contact materials, and functional features. Physical footprint and electrical performance are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these parts?

A: The SS-74402-003 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled material, while the RJHSE-5385-02 uses Thermoplastic material. Both materials provide adequate mechanical and thermal properties for the specified operating range.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the RJHSE-5385-02 affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended lower temperature limit (-55°C versus -40°C) represents an enhancement that maintains full backward compatibility. The upper temperature limit remains identical at 85°C.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The SS-74402-003 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The RJHSE-5385-02 is supplied in Tray packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS Compliance on the RJHSE-5385-02?

A: RoHS Compliance indicates the substitute meets current environmental regulations restricting hazardous substances. This is relevant for new designs and systems subject to environmental compliance requirements.

Q: Are the LED indicators identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature Green-Green LED color configuration, providing identical visual indication functionality.
