TIC-L012-11 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The TIC-L012-11 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. The part is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives from active manufacturers to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TIC-L012-11 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

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

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Height Above Board: Within ±0.020" (0.51mm) tolerance
• Shielding: Shielded configuration
• Tab Direction: Down
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

7499010211A (Würth Elektronik): Matches primary criteria with 10/100 Base-T and AutoMDIX support. Height variance of 0.001" (0.04mm) is within acceptable tolerance. Differs in core count (4 vs. 5) and operating temperature maximum (70°C vs. 85°C).

J0026D01NL (Pulse Electronics): Matches all primary criteria with identical 10/100 Base-TX application and 5-core configuration. Height variance of 0.015" (0.39mm) is within acceptable tolerance. Operating temperature maximum is 70°C versus 85°C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For J0026D01NL (Pulse Electronics) - Primary Substitute:

J0026D01NL is the preferred substitute for TIC-L012-11 applications. This part maintains identical core count (5), matching application specification (10/100 Base-TX), and contact material (Phosphor Bronze). The connector is RoHS compliant and currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability. Height above board variance of 0.015" (0.39mm) remains within standard PCB layout tolerances. The primary design consideration is the reduced operating temperature maximum of 70°C versus the original 85°C specification; this substitution is suitable for applications operating within the 0°C to 70°C range.

For 7499010211A (Würth Elektronik) - Secondary Substitute:

7499010211A serves as an alternative substitute where AutoMDIX functionality provides additional system benefits. This connector is RoHS3 compliant and maintains identical height above board specification (0.531" variance of 0.001"). The critical design difference is the 4-core configuration versus the original 5-core design; this part is suitable only for applications where 4-core RJ45 connectivity is functionally equivalent to 5-core requirements. Operating temperature maximum is 70°C. Contact material differs (Tin versus Phosphor Bronze), which may affect long-term contact reliability in high-cycle insertion environments.

Compliance Considerations:

Both substitute parts carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), matching the original specification. Both are RoHS compliant, supporting modern environmental and regulatory requirements. Neither part introduces REACH compliance concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can J0026D01NL directly replace TIC-L012-11 in all applications?

A: J0026D01NL is a direct functional substitute for applications operating within 0°C to 70°C temperature range. If your application requires operation above 70°C, this substitute is not suitable. The 5-core configuration, 10/100 Base-TX specification, and solder termination are identical to the original part.

Q: What is the significance of the 4-core versus 5-core configuration in 7499010211A?

A: The TIC-L012-11 and J0026D01NL both feature 5-core jacks, supporting full 10/100 Base-TX pinout. The 7499010211A features 4-core configuration, which is typical for 10/100 Base-T implementations. Substitution with 7499010211A requires verification that your application does not depend on the fifth core contact.

Q: Are there height above board differences that affect PCB layout?

A: Yes. TIC-L012-11 specifies 0.530" (13.45mm). J0026D01NL measures 0.545" (13.84mm), a difference of 0.015" (0.39mm). This variance is within standard PCB design tolerances but should be verified against your specific mechanical clearance requirements, particularly in space-constrained applications.

Q: Does the contact finish thickness difference between J0026D01NL (15.0µin) and TIC-L012-11 (30.0µin) affect performance?

A: Contact finish thickness affects long-term durability under repeated insertion cycles. The original TIC-L012-11 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating. J0026D01NL specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm). For applications with moderate insertion cycle counts (under 100 cycles), this difference is not critical. For high-cycle applications, the thicker plating of the original specification provides extended contact life.

Q: What is the impact of the reduced operating temperature maximum (70°C vs. 85°C)?

A: The TIC-L012-11 supports continuous operation to 85°C. Both substitute parts are rated to 70°C maximum. If your application operates in environments exceeding 70°C ambient temperature or generates internal heat exceeding this threshold, these substitutes are not suitable. Verify your actual operating temperature requirements before selection.

Q: Are both substitute parts available in equivalent packaging quantities?

A: No. 7499010211A is supplied in Tube packaging with 1,000,100 pieces in stock. J0026D01NL is supplied in Tray packaging with 1,004 pieces in stock. TIC-L012-11 was supplied in unspecified packaging with 781 pieces available. Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly process requirements.

Q: Is AutoMDIX functionality in 7499010211A beneficial for my application?

A: AutoMDIX automatically detects and corrects cable orientation (straight-through versus crossover), simplifying system integration. This feature is beneficial in applications where cable type consistency cannot be guaranteed. However, AutoMDIX is not required for standard 10/100 Base-TX implementations using properly configured cables.
