Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TIC-L008-11 are identified based on strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Type: RJ45 (modular jack)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded with EMI Finger protection
• Tab Direction: Down
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold

Application Compatibility:

• 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet functionality
• Single port configuration
• Single row arrangement

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on connector architecture:

Category A - Modular Jack 8p8c (RJ45) Configuration:

• Molex 0440500003
• Molex 0440500006

These parts maintain full mechanical and electrical compatibility through identical mounting, orientation, shielding, and termination specifications. They support Cat5 Ethernet ratings suitable for 10/100 Base-TX applications.

Category B - RJ45 Through Hole 10/100 Base-TX Configuration:

• Pulse Electronics J00-0014NL
• Pulse Electronics J00-0042NL
• Pulse Electronics J0026D01NL

These parts provide direct functional equivalence with identical application support (10/100 Base-TX), mounting type, orientation, and termination. They maintain the same connector type and shielding architecture.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production Designs:

The Molex 0440500003 and 0440500006 are recommended as primary substitutes. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. These connectors provide extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) compared to the original TIC-L008-11 specification (0°C to 85°C), offering improved thermal margin for industrial applications. Inventory availability is substantial (12,522 and 2,100 units respectively), supporting production requirements.

For 10/100 Base-TX Specific Applications:

The Pulse Electronics PULSEJACK™ series (J00-0014NL, J00-0042NL, J0026D01NL) provides direct functional equivalence with active product status and RoHS compliance. These connectors maintain identical application support for 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet with AutoMDIX capability in J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL variants. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C, which aligns with the original TIC-L008-11 lower bound but does not extend to 85°C. Selection should account for specific thermal environment requirements.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original component. All active substitutes carry RoHS compliance certification (ROHS3 or RoHS Compliant), supporting environmental regulatory requirements. REACH status is unaffected for all Pulse Electronics substitutes.

Inventory and Lead Time:

Molex parts demonstrate higher inventory levels, supporting immediate procurement needs. Pulse Electronics parts maintain active inventory (734 to 3,977 units) across the three variants, providing alternative sourcing options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can Molex 0440500003 or 0440500006 directly replace TIC-L008-11 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both Molex parts maintain identical mechanical specifications including Through Hole mounting, 90° right-angle orientation, solder termination, and down-facing tab direction. PCB footprint compatibility is assured. The extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) provides additional thermal margin beyond the original specification (0°C to 85°C).

Q2: What is the difference between Molex 0440500003 and 0440500006?

A: Both parts are functionally identical modular jack connectors with 8p8c (RJ45) configuration, identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and ROHS3 compliance. The primary difference is inventory availability: 0440500003 has 12,522 units in stock versus 2,100 units for 0440500006. Selection should be based on procurement volume and lead time requirements.

Q3: Are Pulse Electronics PULSEJACK™ parts suitable for replacement in designs currently using TIC-L008-11?

A: Yes, with thermal environment consideration. All three Pulse Electronics variants (J00-0014NL, J00-0042NL, J0026D01NL) provide mechanical and electrical compatibility for 10/100 Base-TX applications. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C, which covers the lower portion of the original specification but does not extend to 85°C. Designs operating above 70°C should use Molex substitutes instead.

Q4: What is the difference between J00-0014NL, J00-0042NL, and J0026D01NL?

A: All three parts are RJ45 Through Hole connectors for 10/100 Base-TX applications with identical mechanical and thermal specifications. J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL include AutoMDIX capability and are packaged in Tube format. J0026D01NL does not specify AutoMDIX and is packaged in Tray format. Selection depends on application requirements for AutoMDIX functionality and packaging preference for assembly processes.

Q5: Do all substitute parts maintain the same shielding effectiveness as TIC-L008-11?

A: Yes. All substitute parts feature shielded design with EMI finger protection, matching the original TIC-L008-11 specification. Molex parts explicitly specify shielded configuration with EMI finger. Pulse Electronics parts specify shielded design with brass shield material, providing equivalent EMI performance for 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet applications.

Q6: Are there packaging differences between substitute options?

A: Yes. Molex parts are supplied in Tray packaging. Pulse Electronics J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL are supplied in Tube packaging, while J0026D01NL is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging selection should align with assembly process requirements and handling procedures.

Q7: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts carry RoHS compliance certification (Molex: ROHS3 Compliant; Pulse Electronics: RoHS Compliant). All parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Pulse Electronics parts specify REACH Unaffected status. All parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications with the original TIC-L008-11.
