Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SCHURTER 4801.1210 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Mating diameter: 2.50mm (0.094", 3/32", Sub Mini, Miniature) headphone standard
• Connector type: Phone plug with mono signal configuration
• Number of conductors: 2 conductors, 2 contacts
• Termination method: Solder
• Gender: Male
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging (in-line)
• Contact material composition: Brass with nickel plating
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 and REACH standards

The CUI Devices MP-2501A meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts conform to the 2.5mm headphone plug standard, feature identical conductor counts, employ solder termination, and maintain equivalent contact material specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring regulatory alignment for component selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CUI Devices MP-2501A is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete SCHURTER 4801.1210. Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications for the 2.5mm mono headphone plug standard, including connector type, conductor configuration, termination method, and contact material composition.

The MP-2501A offers superior availability as an active product with current manufacturing status, whereas the SCHURTER 4801.1210 is obsolete. The MP-2501A provides enhanced current capacity (1 A versus 650 mA) and an extended lower operating temperature limit (-25°C versus -20°C), making it suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance margins.

Both parts maintain equivalent regulatory compliance with ROHS3 certification and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compliance with current environmental and safety standards. The MP-2501A is the appropriate selection for new designs and replacement applications requiring the 2.5mm mono headphone plug connector form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CUI Devices MP-2501A directly replace the SCHURTER 4801.1210 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors conform to the 2.5mm mono headphone plug standard with identical conductor counts, solder termination, and contact material specifications. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained across all critical parameters.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and performance margins. The MP-2501A is an active product with higher current capacity (1 A versus 650 mA) and extended lower temperature operation (-25°C versus -20°C). The SCHURTER 4801.1210 is obsolete.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the SCHURTER 4801.1210 and CUI Devices MP-2501A are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety standards.

Q: What is the significance of the mating diameter specification?

A: The 2.50mm mating diameter is the industry standard for headphone and audio jack connectors. This specification ensures mechanical compatibility with mating receptacles and is a primary substitution criterion.

Q: Does the voltage rating difference affect substitution suitability?

A: The SCHURTER part is rated for 12VAC/DC while the CUI part is rated for 12VDC. For applications operating at 12VDC or lower, the CUI part is suitable. For applications requiring AC voltage capability, verify that the application operates within the 12VDC specification of the substitute part.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these connectors?

A: The SCHURTER 4801.1210 is supplied without specified packaging. The CUI Devices MP-2501A is supplied in bag packaging. Both include 2 pieces per unit (1 connector and 1 accessory item).
