Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 35RAPC2AV be used as a direct replacement for the 35RAPC2AV4?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 4.6mm mono phone jack configuration, 2 conductors with 3 contacts, single internal switch, right-angle mounting orientation, and solder eyelet termination. The connector interface and circuit compatibility are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the 35RAPC2AV4 and 35RAPC2AV?

A: The primary difference is in the mounting type specification. The 35RAPC2AV4 includes panel mount capability, while the 35RAPC2AV is specified for through-hole mounting only. Additionally, the 35RAPC2AV4 includes mounting hardware (nut and washer), whereas the 35RAPC2AV does not list included accessories. All electrical and mechanical interface parameters remain identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for headphone jack applications?

A: Yes. Both the 35RAPC2AV4 and 35RAPC2AV are designed for 4.6mm headphone jack applications with mono signal transmission. The silver-plated copper alloy contacts and brass body provide appropriate electrical and mechanical characteristics for audio connector applications.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to these connectors?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations for electronic components.

Q: Does the difference in included accessories affect connector functionality?

A: No. The included accessories (nut and washer for the 35RAPC2AV4) are mounting hardware only and do not affect the electrical or mechanical interface specifications of the connector itself.
