Switchcraft 2P1515 Power Barrel Connector Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Switchcraft 2P1515 is an active, in-stock power barrel connector plug designed for free-hanging (in-line) applications. It features a 2.50mm ID (0.098") and 5.50mm OD (0.217") mating interface with solder eyelet termination. This connector is commonly used in low-voltage DC power distribution circuits where standardized barrel connector compatibility is required. Alternative equivalent parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, lead time considerations, or specific application requirements for different termination or material specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Switchcraft 2P1515 with the CUI Devices PP3-002B is based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. Both parts share identical mating interface dimensions (2.50mm ID / 5.50mm OD), connector type (plug), gender (female), contact count (2 conductors, 2 contacts), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), and shielding characteristics (unshielded). Both parts maintain the same mating depth of 0.374" (9.50mm) and are free of internal switches.

The substitution is valid where the following conditions are met:

• Identical mating diameter specifications (2.50mm ID / 5.50mm OD)
• Matching connector type and gender configuration
• Equivalent contact count and arrangement
• Compatible mounting and termination approaches
• Compliance with RoHS3 and REACH requirements
• MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity)

Differences in contact material plating (tin vs. nickel), body material composition, and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution in applications where these parameters are not explicitly constrained by system requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Switchcraft 2P1515 and CUI Devices PP3-002B are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for current design implementations. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability and lead time requirements
• Specific application voltage and current constraints (PP3-002B is rated for 24VDC at 7A)
• Operating temperature range requirements (PP3-002B operates 0°C to 40°C)
• Contact material and plating preferences for corrosion resistance or electrical performance
• Packaging format (Switchcraft 2P1515 packaging not specified; CUI Devices PP3-002B supplied in bag format)

Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring direct substitution capability in applications where the specified electrical ratings and environmental conditions are compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CUI Devices PP3-002B directly replace the Switchcraft 2P1515 in existing designs?

A: Yes, direct mechanical and electrical substitution is possible. Both connectors share identical mating dimensions (2.50mm ID / 5.50mm OD), contact configuration (2 conductors), and mounting type (free hanging in-line). Verify that the application's voltage and current requirements do not exceed the PP3-002B ratings (24VDC, 7A) and that the operating temperature range (0°C to 40°C) is compatible with your environment.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: Primary differences include contact material composition (tin-plated copper alloy vs. nickel-plated brass), body material (unspecified vs. brass with thermoplastic housing), and rated electrical specifications (PP3-002B specifies 24VDC, 7A). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with termination methods?

A: Both parts use solder termination. The Switchcraft 2P1515 specifies solder eyelet(s), while the CUI Devices PP3-002B specifies solder termination. Both methods are compatible with standard PCB assembly and hand-soldering processes.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The Switchcraft 2P1515 packaging format is not specified in the provided data. The CUI Devices PP3-002B is supplied in bag packaging and includes 2 pcs (1 connector, 1 handle).

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes, both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
