Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TIC-L009-11 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Type: RJ45 (8p8c modular jack configuration)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole solder termination
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Shielding: Shielded construction
• Number of Ports: Single port configuration
• Tab Direction: Down orientation

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Termination Method: Solder
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Housing Material: Polyamide or equivalent thermoplastic

Application Compatibility:

• 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet support
• AutoMDIX capability (where specified)
• PCB-mounted through-hole installation

All four substitute parts meet these primary and secondary criteria. Variations in contact finish thickness, operating temperature upper limits, and number of cores per jack represent acceptable engineering tolerances within the modular connector category and do not preclude functional substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The TIC-L009-11 is classified as obsolete. All four substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance and Certification: All substitute parts carry RoHS compliance certification (ROHS3 or RoHS Compliant), meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The Molex 0440500006 provides the widest operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), offering enhanced thermal margin for applications requiring extended low-temperature operation.

Functional Equivalence: The Pulse Electronics parts (J00-0014NL, J00-0042NL, J0026D01NL) maintain identical application specifications (10/100 Base-TX, AutoMDIX where applicable) and mechanical compatibility with the original TIC-L009-11. The Molex 0440500006 provides equivalent electrical performance with additional EMI finger shielding for enhanced electromagnetic interference rejection.

Operating Temperature Limitation: The Pulse Electronics substitutes operate to 70°C maximum, compared to the TIC-L009-11 specification of 85°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 70°C should utilize the Molex 0440500006 (85°C maximum) or the original part if available.

Inventory Availability: Current stock levels support immediate procurement: Molex 0440500006 (2100 pcs), Pulse J00-0014NL (3977 pcs), Pulse J00-0042NL (734 pcs), and Pulse J0026D01NL (1004 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0440500006 directly replace the TIC-L009-11 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The Molex 0440500006 maintains identical mechanical footprint, mounting orientation (90° right angle), solder termination, and shielded RJ45 configuration. The addition of EMI finger shielding provides enhanced performance without requiring design modification.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature difference between the Pulse parts (70°C) and the original TIC-L009-11 (85°C)?

A: The Pulse Electronics substitutes are rated to 70°C maximum ambient temperature. Applications with sustained operation between 70°C and 85°C require either the Molex 0440500006 (85°C rating) or continued use of the original part if available. Standard commercial Ethernet applications typically operate within the 70°C limit.

Q: Are there differences in the number of cores per jack between substitute parts?

A: The TIC-L009-11 and most substitutes specify 4 cores per jack. The J0026D01NL specifies 5 cores per jack. Both configurations support standard 8p8c RJ45 pinout and are functionally compatible for 10/100 Base-TX applications.

Q: What does the "Board Lock" feature on the TIC-L009-11 correspond to in the substitute parts?

A: The Tamura TIC-L009-11 specifies "Board Lock" feature. The Pulse Electronics parts specify "Board Guide" feature. Both features provide mechanical retention and strain relief during PCB assembly and operation. The Molex 0440500006 specifies "Board Lock" feature, providing direct functional equivalence.

Q: Do all substitute parts support AutoMDIX functionality?

A: The J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL explicitly specify AutoMDIX support. The J0026D01NL specifies 10/100 Base-TX without explicit AutoMDIX notation. The Molex 0440500006 specifies Cat5 rating without explicit AutoMDIX notation. AutoMDIX functionality is typically implemented at the PHY layer rather than the connector level; connector compatibility with AutoMDIX-capable network interfaces is maintained across all substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between the Pulse J00-0042NL and J0026D01NL?

A: Both are Pulse Electronics PULSEJACK™ J0 series 1 Port RJ45 connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is packaging: J00-0042NL is supplied in Tube packaging, while J0026D01NL is supplied in Tray packaging. The J0026D01NL specifies 5 cores per jack versus 4 cores for J00-0042NL.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Molex 0440500006 is ROHS3 Compliant. The Pulse Electronics parts (J00-0014NL, J00-0042NL, J0026D01NL) are RoHS Compliant. All meet current environmental regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification, and does it affect substitution?

A: The TIC-L009-11 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold contact finish thickness. The Molex 0440500006 specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm). The Pulse parts specify 15.0µin (0.38µm). These variations represent acceptable engineering tolerances within the modular connector category and do not preclude functional substitution or affect electrical performance in standard Ethernet applications.
