Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3834-2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type conversion: Tip Jack to Banana Jack interface
• Current rating: 5 A minimum
• Overall length: 1.500" (38.10 mm)
• Operating temperature capability: 55°C or higher
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 and REACH status alignment

The substitute part 3834-0 meets all substitution criteria. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, differing only in color (red versus black) and product status (obsolete versus active). The 3834-0 maintains the same connector interface, current rating, physical dimensions, and temperature rating as the 3834-2.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3834-0 is the direct substitute for the 3834-2. Both parts are manufactured by Pomona Electronics and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 3834-0 holds active product status, ensuring continued availability and support, whereas the 3834-2 is obsolete. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current procurement standards. The only functional difference is connector color (black versus red), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3834-0 replace the 3834-2 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 3834-0 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 3834-2. Both parts convert tip jack to banana jack interfaces with identical current ratings (5 A), physical dimensions (1.500"), and operating temperature specifications (55°C).

Q: What is the difference between the 3834-2 and 3834-0?

A: The primary difference is connector color: the 3834-2 is red, while the 3834-0 is black. The 3834-0 also maintains active product status, whereas the 3834-2 is obsolete. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 3834-2 and 3834-0 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The 3834-2 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 3834-0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What is the current rating for these adapters?

A: Both the 3834-2 and 3834-0 are rated for 5 A continuous current.
