SCHURTER 4803.2300 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCHURTER 4803.2300 is a 6.35mm (1/4") stereo phone jack connector designed for panel mount, through-hole applications with right-angle orientation. This connector features three switches, gold-plated brass contacts, and solder eyelet termination, rated for 12VAC/DC at 2A. The product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain design compatibility and ensure continued component availability for repair, maintenance, and new production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 4803.2300 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: Phone Jack (female gender)
• Signal configuration: Stereo (3 Conductor, TRS)
• Mating diameter: 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4")
• Mounting configuration: Panel Mount, Through Hole
• Termination method: Solder Eyelet(s)
• Contact material: Brass with gold plating
• Number of contacts: 3 Conductors, 6 Contacts
• Internal switches: Three Switches

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Mounting orientation (right angle vs. straight)
• Voltage rating (higher ratings acceptable for same current class)
• Current rating (lower ratings require application verification)
• Mating depth (minor variations within mechanical tolerance)
• Product status (active preferred over obsolete)

The SCHURTER 4833.2300 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all core compatibility parameters while differing in mounting orientation and electrical ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 4833.2300 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 4803.2300 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both connectors maintain identical signal line configuration (Stereo TRS), contact material (gold-plated brass), and operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 70°C). The 4833.2300 features a higher voltage rating (30VAC/DC vs. 12VAC/DC), which is acceptable for applications designed for the original part. However, the current rating is reduced from 2A to 1A; applications must confirm that circuit current does not exceed 1A.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical mating diameter (6.35mm), contact count (3 Conductors, 6 Contacts), panel hole size (0.441"), and termination method (solder eyelet). The primary mechanical difference is mounting orientation: the 4803.2300 features right-angle mounting, while the 4833.2300 is straight-mount panel mount. PCB layout and mechanical clearance must be evaluated for this orientation change.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 export control. The 4833.2300 is currently active and in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete 4803.2300.

Availability: The 4833.2300 is currently active with 1010 units in stock, providing immediate availability for design transitions and production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SCHURTER 4833.2300 directly replace the 4803.2300 in existing designs?

A: Electrical and contact compatibility is confirmed. The primary consideration is mounting orientation: the 4803.2300 is right-angle mount, while the 4833.2300 is straight-mount panel mount. PCB layout and mechanical clearance must be evaluated. Additionally, the current rating is reduced from 2A to 1A; verify that application current does not exceed 1A.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference (12VAC/DC vs. 30VAC/DC)?

A: The 4833.2300 has a higher voltage rating, which is acceptable for applications designed for the 4803.2300. Higher voltage ratings indicate greater electrical stress capability and do not create compatibility issues for lower-voltage applications.

Q: Why is the current rating lower on the substitute part?

A: The 4833.2300 is rated for 1A maximum current, compared to 2A for the 4803.2300. Applications must confirm that circuit current does not exceed 1A. If the original design requires 2A operation, this substitute is not suitable.

Q: Are there any differences in contact material or plating?

A: No. Both connectors use brass contacts with gold plating, ensuring identical electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: What is the impact of the mating depth difference (30.70mm vs. 31.00mm)?

A: The difference of 0.30mm (approximately 0.012") is within standard mechanical tolerance for connector mating depth and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Is the 4833.2300 available in the same packaging as the 4803.2300?

A: The 4833.2300 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 4803.2300 packaging is not specified. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 4803.2300 and 4833.2300 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from the 4803.2300 to the 4833.2300?

A: The 4803.2300 is obsolete, while the 4833.2300 is active and in production. This ensures long-term component availability, supply chain stability, and continued manufacturer support.
