TIC-L014-11 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The TIC-L014-11 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 part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support, maintenance, and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TIC-L014-11 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Type: RJ45 (mandatory match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (mandatory match)
• Orientation: 90° Angle Right (mandatory match)
• Termination: Solder (mandatory match)
• Shielding: Shielded (mandatory match)
• Tab Direction: Down (mandatory match)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Number of Ports: 1 (mandatory match)
• Number of Rows: 1 (mandatory match)
• Solder termination capability for PCB integration

Performance Considerations:

• Operating temperature range must encompass or exceed the original specification (0°C ~ 85°C)
• Contact finish must be gold-plated for signal integrity
• Height above board should remain within acceptable PCB layout tolerances

The SI-61006-F from Bel Fuse Inc. satisfies all primary and secondary compatibility criteria. While this substitute supports enhanced 10/100/1000 Base-T with AutoMDIX capability (exceeding the original 10/100 Base-TX specification), it maintains full backward compatibility with legacy 10/100 Base-TX systems through standard Ethernet protocol support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitution Feasibility:

The SI-61006-F is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete TIC-L014-11. All critical mechanical and electrical parameters align with the original specification. The substitute maintains identical form factor, mounting methodology, and solder termination compatibility.

Compliance and Status Advantages:

The SI-61006-F carries Active product status with RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The original TIC-L014-11, classified as Obsolete, presents supply chain risk and potential regulatory compliance gaps in new designs or system refreshes.

Technical Enhancements:

The SI-61006-F incorporates EMI Finger shielding in addition to standard shielding, providing enhanced electromagnetic interference rejection. The extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) exceeds the original specification, supporting deployment in broader environmental conditions. Support for 10/100/1000 Base-T with AutoMDIX ensures compatibility with current and legacy Ethernet infrastructure without performance degradation.

PCB Layout Considerations:

The height variance of 0.020" (0.52mm) between the two connectors is within standard PCB design tolerances and does not require layout modification for typical applications. Both connectors maintain identical 90° right-angle orientation and down-facing tab direction, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SI-61006-F directly replace the TIC-L014-11 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mounting type (Through Hole), orientation (90° Right), termination method (Solder), and tab direction (Down). The 0.020" height difference is within standard PCB tolerance and does not require layout changes for typical applications.

Q: Why does the SI-61006-F support 10/100/1000 Base-T when the original only supports 10/100 Base-TX?

A: The SI-61006-F is a superset implementation of the RJ45 standard. It supports all legacy 10/100 Base-TX protocols while adding 1000 Base-T capability. In 10/100 Base-TX systems, the connector operates at the lower speed without performance impact. AutoMDIX functionality automatically detects and configures the connection type.

Q: What is the significance of the 8-core versus 5-core jack specification?

A: The TIC-L014-11 specifies 5 cores per jack, while the SI-61006-F specifies 8 cores. The 8-core configuration is the standard RJ45 implementation supporting full Ethernet protocols. The 5-core specification in the original part may indicate a reduced-pin variant. The SI-61006-F's 8-core design ensures full compatibility with standard Ethernet cabling and infrastructure.

Q: Is the SI-61006-F suitable for new designs or only for legacy system replacement?

A: The SI-61006-F is suitable for both new designs and legacy system replacement. Its Active product status, RoHS3 compliance, and extended operating temperature range make it appropriate for current manufacturing and long-term deployment. It provides superior compliance posture compared to the obsolete TIC-L014-11.

Q: What is the impact of the EMI Finger enhancement in the SI-61006-F?

A: EMI Finger shielding provides additional electromagnetic interference rejection beyond standard shielding. This enhancement improves signal integrity in electrically noisy environments and supports compliance with stricter EMI/RFI standards. It does not negatively impact systems designed for the original connector.

Q: Are there any certifications or compliance differences between the two connectors?

A: The SI-61006-F carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The TIC-L014-11, being obsolete, may not meet current compliance standards for new system deployments. Both connectors share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.
