Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TM11R-5M2-88-LP(72) is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TM11R-5M2-88-LP(02). Both connectors are RoHS compliant and carry MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage conditions.

The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 8p8c RJ45 jack configuration, solder termination, and Cat5 performance rating. The TM11R-5M2-88-LP(72) offers an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -25°C to 80°C) and improved product availability as an active part in the Hirose catalog.

Housing material differs between the two parts (PBT versus Polyester), but this variation does not affect connector performance in standard networking and industrial applications within the specified operating temperature ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TM11R-5M2-88-LP(72) be used as a direct replacement for TM11R-5M2-88-LP(02)?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type, contact configuration (8p8c RJ45), orientation (90° right-angle), termination method (solder), shielding (EMI finger), and Cat5 rating. The substitute part is manufacturer-recommended and maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these two parts?

A: The original part uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) housing, while the substitute uses Polyester housing. Both materials provide adequate mechanical protection and environmental resistance for standard through-hole PCB applications. Material selection does not affect connector electrical performance or compatibility.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute part's extended range (-40°C to 85°C) encompasses the original part's range (-25°C to 80°C). Applications operating within the original temperature specification will function identically with the substitute part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TM11R-5M2-88-LP(02) and TM11R-5M2-88-LP(72) are RoHS compliant and carry MSL rating 1 (unlimited), meeting standard PCB assembly and storage requirements.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions. The TM11R-5M2-88-LP(72) remains in active production and provides equivalent functionality, ensuring continued design support and component availability.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The TM11R-5M2-88-LP(72) is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly environments.
