TIC-L006-11 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The TIC-L006-11 is a 1-port RJ45 through-hole modular connector manufactured by Tamura, designed for 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet applications. This connector features a 90° right-angle orientation with solder termination and integrated EMI shielding with board lock functionality. The product is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain functional and mechanical compatibility for PCB integration and network connectivity applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TIC-L006-11 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Type: RJ45 (mandatory)
• Number of Ports: 1 (mandatory)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (mandatory)
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right) (mandatory)
• Termination: Solder (mandatory)
• Applications: 10/100 Base-TX (mandatory)
• Shielding: Shielded configuration (mandatory)

Secondary Mechanical Criteria:

• Height Above Board tolerance within PCB design constraints
• Tab Direction: Down (mandatory for board integration)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze (standard for RJ45 connectors)
• Contact Finish: Gold (standard for signal integrity)

All three substitute parts (J00-0014NL, J00-0042NL, J0026D01NL) from Pulse Electronics meet these mandatory criteria. Variations in non-critical parameters such as number of cores per jack, contact finish thickness, and shield material do not preclude functional substitution when primary electrical and mechanical requirements are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitution Feasibility:

All three Pulse Electronics alternatives (J00-0014NL, J00-0042NL, J0026D01NL) are functionally equivalent to the obsolete TIC-L006-11 for 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet applications. The primary distinction between substitute options relates to product status and compliance certifications.

Active Product Status:

All substitute parts carry Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The TIC-L006-11 is classified as Obsolete, making substitution necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Compliance and Regulatory Alignment:

All substitute parts are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting modern environmental and regulatory standards. The original TIC-L006-11 does not specify RoHS compliance status. This compliance upgrade represents an advantage for applications subject to EU directives and equivalent regulations.

Operating Temperature Consideration:

The TIC-L006-11 specifies an operating temperature range of 0°C ~ 85°C, while all substitute parts are rated 0°C ~ 70°C. For applications requiring operation above 70°C, design review is necessary to confirm thermal performance requirements.

Height Above Board Variance:

Substitute parts measure 0.545" (13.84mm) compared to the original 0.530" (13.45mm). This 0.015" (0.39mm) difference is within typical PCB design tolerances but must be verified against specific board layout constraints and clearance requirements.

Core Count Variation:

J0026D01NL maintains 5 cores per jack, matching the original TIC-L006-11. J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL feature 4 cores per jack. This difference does not affect 10/100 Base-TX functionality but should be confirmed against specific application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can J00-0014NL, J00-0042NL, or J0026D01NL be used as direct replacements for TIC-L006-11?

A: Yes. All three Pulse Electronics connectors meet the mandatory electrical and mechanical criteria for 10/100 Base-TX through-hole RJ45 applications. They share identical connector type, port configuration, mounting method, orientation, termination, and shielding specifications. Functional substitution is supported.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are:

• J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL feature 4 cores per jack and include AutoMDIX capability
• J0026D01NL features 5 cores per jack (matching the original) without AutoMDIX
• Packaging differs: J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL are supplied in Tube; J0026D01NL in Tray
• Inventory levels vary: J00-0014NL (3977 pcs), J00-0042NL (734 pcs), J0026D01NL (1004 pcs)

Q: Does the 0.015" height difference affect PCB compatibility?

A: The height variance (0.530" vs. 0.545") must be evaluated against specific PCB design constraints. Standard PCB layouts typically accommodate this tolerance. Verify clearance requirements for components adjacent to the connector and confirm solder joint accessibility during assembly.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three Pulse Electronics substitute parts are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The original TIC-L006-11 does not specify RoHS status. This represents compliance improvement for applications subject to EU environmental directives.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature difference (85°C vs. 70°C)?

A: The TIC-L006-11 is rated to 85°C; substitute parts are rated to 70°C. For applications operating above 70°C, thermal performance must be re-evaluated. Most standard Ethernet applications operate within the 0°C ~ 70°C range, making this difference non-critical for typical deployments.

Q: Why do J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL include AutoMDIX capability?

A: AutoMDIX is an enhanced feature that automatically detects and adapts to straight-through or crossover cable configurations. This feature is not present in the original TIC-L006-11 or in J0026D01NL. It provides additional flexibility but is not required for standard 10/100 Base-TX operation.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on specific requirements:

• For core count matching (5 cores): Select J0026D01NL
• For AutoMDIX capability: Select J00-0014NL or J00-0042NL
• For highest inventory availability: Select J00-0014NL (3977 pcs)
• For tray packaging: Select J0026D01NL

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts meet 10/100 Base-TX electrical specifications. Contact finish thickness varies (15.0µin vs. 30.0µin on original), but this does not affect signal integrity or connector performance within specified operating parameters.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL are supplied in Tube packaging; J0026D01NL is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging selection depends on production volume requirements and inventory management practices.
