TIC-L034-11 RJ45 Modular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TIC-L034-11 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 integrated LED indicators (green and orange-yellow). The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TIC-L034-11 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Type: RJ45
• Number of Ports: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Application Compatibility: The TIC-L034-11 supports 10/100 Base-TX applications. Substitute parts must support 10/100 Base-T or 10/100 Base-T with AutoMDIX functionality, which are compatible with Base-TX requirements.

Physical Compatibility: All substitute parts maintain the same 90° right-angle orientation and through-hole solder termination. Height above board measurements are within acceptable tolerance ranges (0.531" to 0.550").

The three identified substitute parts from Stewart Connector (SI-50141-F, SI-50163-F, SI-50211-F) meet these core compatibility requirements and are currently in active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The TIC-L034-11 is obsolete. All three substitute parts (SI-50141-F, SI-50163-F, SI-50211-F) are active products from Stewart Connector, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance and Certifications: All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The main part does not specify these certifications, indicating the substitutes provide improved compliance posture for new designs.

Core Compatibility: All substitute parts maintain functional compatibility through:

• Identical RJ45 connector type and single-port configuration
• Matching through-hole solder termination and 90° right-angle orientation
• Equivalent shielding and gold contact finish specifications
• MSL 1 rating matching the original part

Application Compatibility: The substitute parts support 10/100 Base-T and AutoMDIX functionality, which are compatible with the original 10/100 Base-TX specification. AutoMDIX capability in SI-50141-F and SI-50211-F provides enhanced flexibility for network applications.

Physical Integration: Height above board differences (0.531" vs. 0.550") represent a 0.019" (0.48mm) variation. This minor difference is acceptable for most PCB layouts but should be verified against specific board design constraints.

Core Count Consideration: SI-50141-F and SI-50211-F feature 4 cores per jack, while SI-50163-F and the original TIC-L034-11 feature 5 cores. The 4-core configuration is standard for 10/100 Base-T applications and is functionally compatible with 5-core designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SI-50141-F, SI-50163-F, or SI-50211-F directly replace the TIC-L034-11 in existing designs?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts maintain the same connector type (RJ45), mounting method (through-hole solder), orientation (90° right-angle), and shielding specifications. The physical footprint is compatible, with only minor height variation (0.019" difference). Functional compatibility is confirmed for 10/100 Ethernet applications.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute options?

A: SI-50163-F features 5 cores per jack, matching the original TIC-L034-11 core count. SI-50141-F and SI-50211-F feature 4 cores per jack with AutoMDIX capability. All three are functionally compatible with 10/100 Base-TX applications. Selection depends on specific application requirements and LED indicator color preferences.

Q: Why do the substitute parts have higher contact finish thickness (50.0µin vs. 30.0µin)?

A: The increased gold plating thickness (50.0µin) on substitute parts provides enhanced durability and contact reliability compared to the original specification (30.0µin). This represents an improvement in long-term performance characteristics.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The original TIC-L034-11 does not specify these certifications. The substitutes meet current regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing.

Q: What does AutoMDIX functionality provide?

A: AutoMDIX (Automatic Medium-Dependent Interface Crossover) is featured in SI-50141-F and SI-50211-F. This capability automatically detects and adapts to straight-through or crossover cable configurations, providing enhanced flexibility in network connectivity. This feature is optional and does not affect basic 10/100 Base-T compatibility.

Q: Is the 0.019" height difference significant for PCB layout?

A: The height variation (0.531" to 0.550") is minor and acceptable for most standard PCB designs. However, applications with strict vertical clearance constraints should verify compatibility with specific board layout requirements before implementation.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: SI-50141-F: 971 units in stock; SI-50163-F: 956 units in stock; SI-50211-F: 702 units in stock. All substitute parts are currently available as new original stock from active product lines.
