SS-82000-002 Modular Connector Jack 8P8C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SS-82000-002 is an unshielded modular connector jack with 8 positions/8 contacts (RJ45, Ethernet) rated for Cat5e applications. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing procurement and design requirements. The connector features panel mount orientation, straight configuration, IDC termination, and latch lock functionality suitable for standard Ethernet networking applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SS-82000-002 is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (jack), contact configuration (8P8C RJ45), termination method (IDC), and Cat5e rating. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with these core specifications.

Two substitute relationships are identified:

SS82000-002G (Stewart Connector): Maintains identical connector type, contact configuration, termination, and Cat5e rating. The primary difference is shielding classification (shielded versus unshielded). This part is manufacturer-recommended and carries active product status.

SS-82000-005 (Bel Inc.): Represents a functional equivalent with different form factor. This keystone connector insert maintains 8P8C RJ45 configuration and Cat5e rating but differs in mounting approach (keystone insert versus panel mount jack) and interior termination interface (IDC, pressdown, punchdown block versus direct panel mount).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SS82000-002G is the primary substitute for direct replacement applications. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and manufacturer recommendation. The shielded configuration provides enhanced electromagnetic interference rejection compared to the original unshielded design, suitable for environments with elevated noise considerations. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status align with regulatory requirements.

SS-82000-005 serves as a functional equivalent for applications utilizing keystone-based panel architectures. This part accommodates punchdown and pressdown termination methods, making it suitable for structured cabling installations. Selection of this substitute requires verification of panel mounting compatibility and termination methodology alignment with system design.

Both substitute parts maintain Cat5e rating, 8P8C RJ45 configuration, and gold-plated contact finish specifications. Inventory availability is confirmed for both alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SS82000-002G directly replace SS-82000-002 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical connector type, contact configuration, termination method, and Cat5e rating. The shielded design of SS82000-002G provides equivalent or superior performance in standard applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between SS82000-002G and SS-82000-002?

A: Shielding classification. SS82000-002G incorporates shielding, while SS-82000-002 is unshielded. Both maintain identical contact configuration, termination, and electrical ratings.

Q: When should SS-82000-005 be selected instead of SS82000-002G?

A: SS-82000-005 is appropriate for keystone-based panel installations requiring punchdown or pressdown termination. Direct panel mount jack applications should utilize SS82000-002G.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. SS-82000-002, SS82000-002G, and SS-82000-005 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What contact material differences exist between these parts?

A: SS-82000-002 and SS82000-002G use copper alloy contacts. SS-82000-005 uses phosphor bronze for exterior contacts and phosphor bronze for interior contacts. All maintain gold plating at 50µin (1.27µm) thickness on exterior surfaces.

Q: Is operating temperature specified for all substitute parts?

A: Operating temperature of -40°C ~ 85°C is specified for SS-82000-002 and SS82000-002G. Operating temperature is not specified in available documentation for SS-82000-005.
