TIC-L013-11 RJ45 Modular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TIC-L013-11 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 board lock functionality. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance, repairs, and legacy equipment support. Substitute connectors must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original TIC-L013-11 specifications to ensure proper PCB integration and network performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TIC-L013-11 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Compatibility 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 (mandatory match)
• Tab Direction: Down (mandatory match)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Height Above Board: Tolerance range 0.530" ± 0.015" (13.45mm ± 0.38mm)
• Number of Cores per Jack: 4 or 5 cores acceptable for 10/100 Base-TX
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze (standard for RJ45)
• Contact Finish: Gold (standard for RJ45)
• Operating Temperature: Minimum 0°C ~ 70°C acceptable (TIC-L013-11 operates to 85°C)

Three substitute parts from Pulse Electronics meet these criteria: J00-0014NL, J00-0042NL, and J0026D01NL. All three are active-status RJ45 connectors with identical primary specifications and compatible secondary parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitute Selection Criteria:

All three Pulse Electronics substitute parts (J00-0014NL, J00-0042NL, J0026D01NL) are qualified replacements for the obsolete TIC-L013-11 based on matching primary electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among these three substitutes should be based on the following factors:

J0026D01NL (Recommended for Core Compatibility): This part maintains the 5-core jack configuration identical to the TIC-L013-11, ensuring direct functional equivalence. The 5-core design supports full 10/100 Base-TX pinout compatibility. Supplied in Tray packaging with 1004 units in stock.

J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL (Alternative Options): Both parts feature 4-core jack configurations and include AutoMDIX functionality. The 4-core design is functionally compatible with 10/100 Base-TX applications. J00-0014NL is supplied in Tube packaging (3977 units in stock), while J00-0042NL is also in Tube packaging (734 units in stock).

Compliance Considerations: All three substitute parts carry RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications, meeting modern regulatory requirements. The TIC-L013-11 compliance status was not specified in the original documentation.

Operating Temperature Limitation: Substitute parts operate within 0°C ~ 70°C range, compared to the TIC-L013-11 specification of 0°C ~ 85°C. Applications requiring operation above 70°C require thermal analysis or alternative sourcing.

Physical Dimensions: Substitute parts measure 0.545" (13.84mm) height above board, compared to 0.530" (13.45mm) for the original. This 0.015" (0.39mm) difference is within typical PCB layout tolerance but should be verified for space-constrained designs.

Contact Finish Thickness: Substitute parts feature 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating compared to 30.0µin (0.76µm) on the original. Both thicknesses meet industry standards for RJ45 connectors in 10/100 Base-TX applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can J00-0014NL, J00-0042NL, or J0026D01NL be used as direct replacements for TIC-L013-11?

A: Yes. All three Pulse Electronics parts meet the mandatory compatibility criteria: RJ45 connector type, 1-port configuration, through-hole mounting, 90° right-angle orientation, solder termination, 10/100 Base-TX application support, shielded design, and downward tab direction. Physical and electrical characteristics are compatible with PCB designs originally specified for TIC-L013-11.

Q: What is the difference between the 4-core and 5-core jack configurations?

A: The TIC-L013-11 and J0026D01NL feature 5-core jacks, while J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL feature 4-core jacks. Both configurations support 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet standards. The 5-core design provides additional contact points; the 4-core design is functionally equivalent for standard Ethernet applications. Selection depends on PCB design requirements and contact redundancy preferences.

Q: Are there height differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: Yes. The TIC-L013-11 measures 0.530" (13.45mm) above board, while all three Pulse Electronics substitutes measure 0.545" (13.84mm). This 0.015" (0.39mm) difference is within standard PCB layout tolerances but should be verified for designs with space constraints, cable routing considerations, or stacked connector arrangements.

Q: Do the substitute parts support AutoMDIX functionality?

A: J00-0014NL and J00-0042NL include AutoMDIX capability, which automatically detects and adjusts for straight-through or crossover cable connections. The TIC-L013-11 and J0026D01NL do not specify AutoMDIX. AutoMDIX is a supplementary feature that does not affect basic 10/100 Base-TX compatibility.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: All three Pulse Electronics substitutes operate within 0°C ~ 70°C. The original TIC-L013-11 operates within 0°C ~ 85°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 70°C should conduct thermal analysis or consider alternative components. Standard indoor networking environments typically operate within the 0°C ~ 70°C range.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All three Pulse Electronics substitute parts (J00-0014NL, J00-0042NL, J0026D01NL) are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The original TIC-L013-11 compliance status was not specified. Modern system designs benefit from the regulatory compliance of the substitute parts.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: J00-0014NL is supplied in Tube packaging (3977 units in stock). J00-0042NL is supplied in Tube packaging (734 units in stock). J0026D01NL is supplied in Tray packaging (1004 units in stock). Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management preferences.

Q: How do the contact finish thicknesses compare?

A: The TIC-L013-11 features 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating, while all three Pulse Electronics substitutes feature 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating. Both thicknesses meet industry standards for RJ45 connector durability and electrical performance in 10/100 Base-TX applications. The thinner plating on substitutes is standard for modern connector manufacturing.

Q: What is the difference between Board Lock and Board Guide features?

A: The TIC-L013-11 includes Board Lock functionality, while the Pulse Electronics substitutes include Board Guide functionality. Both features provide mechanical stability during PCB assembly and operation. Board Lock and Board Guide are design variations that do not affect electrical compatibility or 10/100 Base-TX performance.

Q: Can these connectors be used in PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?

A: The provided specifications do not include PoE capability information for any of these parts. PoE applications require specific contact configurations and power handling ratings. Verify PoE compatibility with manufacturer datasheets before application in power delivery systems.
