Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TIC-L035-11 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

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)
• Shielding: Shielded (mandatory match)
• Tab Direction: Up (mandatory match)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Contact Finish: Gold (preferred match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (preferred match)
• Height Above Board: tolerance range 13.49mm ± 0.5mm acceptable

Application Compatibility: The TIC-L035-11 supports 10/100 Base-TX applications. Substitute parts must support 10/100 Base-T or 10/100 Base-TX applications, as these are compatible Ethernet standards for the same network speed classification.

Number of Cores per Jack: The TIC-L035-11 contains 5 cores per jack. Substitute parts with 4 cores per jack are functionally compatible for 10/100 Base-T applications, as the reduced core count reflects different internal wiring configurations that remain compatible with standard RJ45 pinout requirements.

All three substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as active products with current manufacturing status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SI-50163-F (Primary Substitute)

The SI-50163-F represents the closest functional equivalent to the TIC-L035-11. This part maintains 5 cores per jack, matching the original design exactly. Both parts support 10/100 Base-T applications within the same network speed classification. The SI-50163-F is manufactured by Stewart Connector under the active MagJack® ST SI-50000 series, ensuring current production and supply chain availability. The part is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting modern regulatory requirements. Height above board measures 0.550" (13.97mm), representing a 0.48mm increase from the original specification, which remains within acceptable tolerance for standard PCB layouts.

SI-50141-F and SI-50211-F (Secondary Substitutes)

Both SI-50141-F and SI-50211-F are functionally compatible alternatives with 4 cores per jack configuration. These parts incorporate AutoMDIX functionality, providing automatic medium-dependent interface crossover detection. The reduced core count reflects internal wiring optimization for 10/100 Base-T applications and remains compatible with standard RJ45 pinout requirements. These parts are suitable for applications where AutoMDIX capability provides system-level advantages.

Regulatory and Compliance Status

All three substitute parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications as the original TIC-L035-11, ensuring no change in export control or tariff treatment. The Stewart Connector parts include RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, exceeding the regulatory profile of the obsolete Tamura part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SI-50163-F directly replace TIC-L035-11 in existing PCB designs?

A: SI-50163-F is mechanically and electrically compatible with TIC-L035-11. The primary dimensional difference is height above board: 0.550" (13.97mm) versus 0.531" (13.49mm). This 0.48mm difference is within standard PCB layout tolerances and does not require design modification for typical applications. Verify clearance in your specific enclosure or connector stack-up configuration.

Q: What is the difference between 10/100 Base-TX and 10/100 Base-T?

A: Both standards support 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet transmission. Base-TX and Base-T are compatible classifications for the same network speed range. The TIC-L035-11 specifies Base-TX, while substitute parts specify Base-T. Both are functionally equivalent for 10/100 Mbps network applications.

Q: Why do SI-50141-F and SI-50211-F have 4 cores per jack while SI-50163-F has 5 cores?

A: The number of cores per jack reflects internal wiring configuration. SI-50163-F with 5 cores matches the original TIC-L035-11 configuration exactly. SI-50141-F and SI-50211-F with 4 cores use optimized internal wiring for 10/100 Base-T applications. Both configurations are compatible with standard RJ45 pinout requirements and support identical network speeds.

Q: What does AutoMDIX functionality provide?

A: AutoMDIX (Automatic Medium-Dependent Interface Crossover) automatically detects and corrects cable polarity, eliminating the need for crossover cables in certain network configurations. SI-50141-F and SI-50211-F include this feature; SI-50163-F does not. This is a system-level advantage but not required for basic 10/100 Base-T connectivity.

Q: Are there any thermal or operating temperature differences?

A: The TIC-L035-11 specifies operating temperature range 0°C ~ 85°C. The Stewart Connector substitute parts do not provide operating temperature specifications in the available data. Verify thermal requirements for your specific application environment.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness differences?

A: TIC-L035-11 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold contact finish thickness, while all Stewart Connector substitutes specify 50.0µin (1.27µm). The thicker gold plating on substitute parts provides enhanced durability and contact reliability, representing an improvement over the original specification.

Q: Are these parts suitable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?

A: The provided specifications do not include PoE current rating or power handling data. Verify PoE compatibility requirements with manufacturer datasheets if your application requires power delivery over the Ethernet connection.

Q: What is the LED color configuration on each part?

A: TIC-L035-11 features Green and Orange-Yellow LEDs. SI-50141-F features Green-Yellow LEDs. SI-50163-F features Yellow-Green LEDs. SI-50211-F features Green-Green LEDs. LED color selection depends on system-level indicator requirements and does not affect electrical functionality.
