TIC-L007-11 RJ45 Modular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TIC-L007-11 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 is housed in polyamide (PA6T) nylon material with shielded EMI finger protection. The product is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute components essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TIC-L007-11 is determined by strict alignment with the following core electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

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

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Height Above Board: 0.530" (13.45mm) reference; substitutes at 0.545" (13.84mm) remain within acceptable PCB layout tolerance
• Number of Cores per Jack: TIC-L007-11 specifies 5 cores; J0026D01NL matches at 5 cores; J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL specify 4 cores
• Tab Direction: Down (consistent across all parts)
• Shield Material: Stainless Steel (TIC-L007-11) versus Brass (Pulse Electronics substitutes) both provide EMI shielding function
• Housing Material: Polyamide PA6T (TIC-L007-11) versus Thermoplastic (Pulse Electronics) both provide structural integrity

All three Pulse Electronics PULSEJACK™ series connectors satisfy the mandatory substitution criteria and are classified as active products with current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: J0026D01NL (Pulse Electronics)

The J0026D01NL represents the closest functional equivalent to the TIC-L007-11. This connector maintains identical core specifications including 5 cores per jack, matching the original design. Both connectors support 10/100 Base-TX applications with through-hole solder termination and 90° right-angle orientation. The J0026D01NL is an active product with RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring long-term supply chain availability and regulatory alignment. The 0.015" (0.39mm) height differential is within standard PCB layout tolerance for right-angle connectors.

Secondary Substitutes: J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL (Pulse Electronics)

Both J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL are functionally compatible substitutes with the following considerations: these connectors specify 4 cores per jack compared to the TIC-L007-11's 5 cores. Both are active products with RoHS compliance. J00-0014NL is packaged in tube format with 3977 units in stock. J00-0042NL is also tube-packaged with 734 units available. Both support 10/100 Base-TX with AutoMDIX capability, providing enhanced network compatibility. Operating temperature range is 0°C ~ 70°C, which is 15°C lower than the original TIC-L007-11 specification.

Regulatory and Compliance Status

All three Pulse Electronics substitutes carry RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected designations, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The TIC-L007-11 product status is obsolete; substitution to active Pulse Electronics products ensures continued design support and manufacturing availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can J00-0014NL or J00-0042NL be used as direct replacements for TIC-L007-11 despite having 4 cores instead of 5?

A: J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL are electrically and mechanically compatible for 10/100 Base-TX applications. The core count difference reflects internal jack configuration; both connectors support the same Ethernet standard. Substitution is valid when the application does not require the specific 5-core configuration of the original design.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.015" height difference between TIC-L007-11 and the Pulse Electronics substitutes?

A: The TIC-L007-11 measures 0.530" (13.45mm) above board, while all three Pulse Electronics substitutes measure 0.545" (13.84mm). This 0.39mm differential is within standard PCB layout tolerance for right-angle connectors and does not affect functional compatibility or board-level integration.

Q: Why do the Pulse Electronics substitutes have lower operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C) compared to TIC-L007-11 (0°C ~ 85°C)?

A: Operating temperature range is a specified design parameter for each connector series. Applications requiring operation above 70°C must retain the original TIC-L007-11 or identify alternative connectors with matching thermal specifications. For standard commercial and industrial environments operating within 0°C ~ 70°C, the Pulse Electronics substitutes are fully qualified.

Q: What is the difference between J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL?

A: Both connectors are functionally identical PULSEJACK™ series RJ45 through-hole 10/100 Base-TX connectors with 4 cores per jack. J00-0014NL is designated as PULSEJACK™ J0 series, while J00-0042NL is PULSEJACK™ J00 series. Both are packaged in tube format and are active products. Selection between these two is based on series designation requirements and inventory availability.

Q: Is J0026D01NL the recommended substitute?

A: J0026D01NL is the closest functional equivalent due to matching 5-core jack configuration. However, all three Pulse Electronics connectors satisfy the mandatory substitution criteria for 10/100 Base-TX applications. Selection should be based on specific design requirements including core count, operating temperature range, and packaging format (tube versus tray).

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The TIC-L007-11 product status is obsolete with unspecified RoHS status. All three Pulse Electronics substitutes are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations. Substitution to active Pulse Electronics products ensures regulatory alignment and long-term supply chain support.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL are supplied in tube packaging. J0026D01NL is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume and assembly line requirements.
