SCHURTER 4831.2220 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCHURTER 4831.2220 is a 2.5mm mono phone jack connector designed for panel-mount, through-hole applications with right-angle termination. This connector features solder eyelet termination, gold-plated brass contacts, and includes mounting hardware with thread lock. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 4831.2220 is determined by the following core parameters:

• Connector type: Phone Jack (Female)
• Signal configuration: Mono (2 conductors, 3 contacts)
• Mating diameter: 2.5mm
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount, through-hole, right-angle
• Termination method: Solder eyelet(s)
• Internal switching: Single switch
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 compliant

The CUI Devices MJ-2508 meets these core substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical connector type, gender, signal lines, mating diameter, contact configuration, mounting type, termination method, and internal switch specification. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CUI Devices MJ-2508 is a functionally equivalent substitute for the SCHURTER 4831.2220 based on core connector specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

The MJ-2508 offers extended operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C versus -20°C to 70°C) and higher current rating (1 A versus 500 mA). The substitute part features tin plating instead of gold plating and uses PBT housing material instead of plastic.

Panel hole size differs between the two parts: the SCHURTER requires 0.165" (4.20mm) while the CUI Devices part requires 0.217" (5.51mm). Thread size specification also differs: SCHURTER uses M4X0.5 while CUI Devices uses M4. These mechanical differences require panel modification or redesign consideration during substitution.

The MJ-2508 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability compared to the obsolete SCHURTER part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CUI Devices MJ-2508 directly replace the SCHURTER 4831.2220 without panel modification?

A: No. The panel hole size differs (0.165" versus 0.217"), and thread specifications vary (M4X0.5 versus M4). Panel drilling or mounting hardware adjustment is required.

Q: Are the electrical ratings compatible?

A: The MJ-2508 has lower voltage rating (12VDC versus 30VAC/DC) but higher current rating (1 A versus 500 mA). Application voltage and current requirements must be verified against the substitute part's specifications.

Q: What is the difference between gold and tin plating on the contacts?

A: Both materials provide electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. Gold plating offers superior contact reliability in low-signal applications. Tin plating is suitable for standard audio and signal applications. Selection depends on application requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same environmental conditions?

A: The MJ-2508 supports a wider operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C) compared to the SCHURTER part (-20°C to 70°C). Both are suitable for standard indoor applications within their respective temperature specifications.

Q: What packaging is provided with each part?

A: The SCHURTER 4831.2220 packaging is unspecified. The CUI Devices MJ-2508 is supplied in bag packaging. Both include 2 pieces per unit: 1 connector and 1 nut.
