Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TM5RJ2-66(50) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Jack)
• Contact configuration (6p6c for RJ11/RJ12/RJ14/RJ25 compatibility)
• Orientation (90° right-angle)
• Mounting method (through-hole solder termination)
• Shielding classification (unshielded)
• Contact material and finish (phosphor bronze with gold plating)
• Housing material (PBT)
• Environmental compliance (RoHS)

The TM5RJ2-66(60) meets all these criteria and is classified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging configuration, not functional or electrical characteristics.
