SCHURTER 4803.1210 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCHURTER 4803.1210 is a 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") mono headphone phone plug connector with 2 conductors and 2 contacts, designed for solder termination in free-hanging (in-line) applications. This connector operates at 12VAC/DC with a 2A current rating and is rated for -20°C to 70°C operating temperature. The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and new designs requiring compatible connector solutions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the SCHURTER 4803.1210 requires matching the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Phone Plug (male gender)
• Mating Diameter: 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") headphone standard
• Signal Configuration: Mono (2 conductors, 2 contacts)
• Termination Method: Solder
• Mounting Configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 12VAC/DC voltage rating, minimum 2A current capacity
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to 70°C or broader
• Contact Material: Brass with nickel plating
• Housing Material: Plastic construction

The provided substitute part list contains a display module (Adafruit Industries LLC part 250) which is categorized as a graphic LCD display with I2C interface. This component operates in a fundamentally different product category (display modules versus barrel connectors) and does not share the critical electrical, mechanical, or functional parameters required for substitution of the SCHURTER 4803.1210 phone plug connector. No valid substitution relationship exists between these components.

Parameter Comparison

No valid substitute parts meeting the required substitution criteria are present in the provided substitute part list. The listed component (Adafruit Industries LLC 250) belongs to a different product category and does not satisfy the mechanical, electrical, or functional requirements for equivalent substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

When the SCHURTER 4803.1210 reaches end-of-life or inventory depletion, component selection must prioritize:

• Verification of RoHS3 compliance status for regulatory adherence
• Confirmation of REACH compliance or unaffected status for supply chain continuity
• Matching of electrical specifications (12VAC/DC minimum, 2A minimum current rating)
• Compatibility with existing solder termination processes and free-hanging mounting configurations
• Verification of operating temperature range compatibility (-20°C to 70°C minimum)

Alternative sources should be evaluated through direct manufacturer specifications rather than cross-category component comparisons.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the Adafruit Industries LLC part 250 not a suitable substitute?

A: The Adafruit part 250 is a graphic LCD display module with I2C interface, belonging to the display component category. The SCHURTER 4803.1210 is a barrel connector for audio/signal applications. These components serve entirely different functions and do not share compatible mechanical, electrical, or interface specifications. Substitution requires components within the barrel connector category with matching contact configurations and electrical ratings.

Q: What parameters must match for a valid substitute connector?

A: Valid substitutes must match: 6.35mm mating diameter, mono (2-contact) configuration, male gender, solder termination, free-hanging mounting, 12VAC/DC minimum voltage rating, 2A minimum current rating, and -20°C to 70°C operating temperature range. Housing material (plastic) and contact material (brass with nickel plating) should also be verified for process compatibility.

Q: Is the SCHURTER 4803.1210 still available for new designs?

A: The SCHURTER 4803.1210 is classified as obsolete. New designs should identify current-production alternatives meeting the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Existing inventory may support legacy system maintenance, but long-term availability cannot be assured.

Q: What compliance certifications should be verified for substitute parts?

A: Substitute parts should maintain RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status to ensure regulatory alignment with the original component and supply chain continuity.
