Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5934-5 are identified from the Pomona 5934 series based on matching the following critical parameters:

• Type: Banana Plug
• Gender: Male
• Plug/Mating Plug Diameter: Standard Banana
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Termination: Solderless
• Insulation: Non-Mating End Insulated
• Wire Gauge: 18-22 AWG
• Contact Finish: Nickel
• Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Body Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The primary variable among substitute parts is the insulation color, which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. All substitute parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, differing only in color designation for circuit identification purposes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—5934-5, 5934-0, and 5934-2—are functionally equivalent and interchangeable from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Circuit identification requirements: Choose the color variant that matches your application's color-coding standard (green for 5934-5, black for 5934-0, red for 5934-2)
• Inventory availability: 5934-2 (red) has the highest stock level at 2204 units, followed by 5934-0 (black) at 1743 units, and 5934-5 (green) at 862 units
• Regulatory compliance: All variants maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 5934-0, 5934-2, and 5934-5 connectors electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three connectors share identical electrical specifications including contact material (beryllium copper), contact finish (nickel), wire gauge rating (18-22 AWG), and termination method (solderless). The only difference is the insulation color.

Q: Can I substitute a 5934-0 (black) for a 5934-5 (green) in my application?

A: Electrically and mechanically, yes. The substitution is valid if your application does not require specific color-coding for circuit identification. If color-coding is critical to your system design or safety procedures, use the specified color variant.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these banana plugs?

A: All variants in this comparison accept wire gauges from 18 AWG to 22 AWG. Verify your wire gauge falls within this range before selection.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Operating temperature specifications are not provided in the available technical data. Consult the manufacturer's datasheet for thermal operating limits if your application involves elevated temperatures.

Q: Do all three variants meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging options listed?

A: The 5934-5 is listed with no specific packaging designation, while 5934-0 and 5934-2 are supplied in bulk packaging. Contact the supplier for specific packaging quantities and configurations.
