Pomona Electronics 5934-6 Banana Plug Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Pomona Electronics 5934-6 is a standard banana plug connector designed for solderless termination applications. This male banana plug features blue insulation and is supplied in a 10-piece package configuration. The connector is engineered for free-hanging, in-line mounting with non-mating end insulation, making it suitable for general-purpose electrical testing and measurement applications. Substitute parts are identified based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications, with variations limited to color coding and packaging configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5934-6 are qualified based on matching the following critical parameters:

• Type: Banana Plug (Male gender)
• 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 Material: Beryllium Copper
• Contact Finish: Nickel
• Body Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitutes (5934-0 and 5934-2) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations are limited to color coding (black and red respectively) and packaging configuration (bulk packaging versus the 10-piece package of the main part). These color variations serve application-specific identification purposes and do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts (5934-6, 5934-0, and 5934-2) are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific color coding requirements. The 5934-6 (blue) is suitable for standard applications or where blue identification is required. The 5934-0 (black) and 5934-2 (red) provide alternative color options for circuit identification, polarity marking, or test lead differentiation in multi-channel measurement setups. All parts share identical electrical performance characteristics and mechanical compatibility with standard banana jack receptacles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5934-0 (black) and 5934-2 (red) be used interchangeably with 5934-6 (blue)?

A: Yes. All three parts are electrically and mechanically identical. Differences are limited to color coding and packaging. Selection should be based on application requirements for color identification or polarity marking.

Q: What is the significance of the color variations?

A: Color coding serves identification purposes in test and measurement applications. Blue, black, and red variants allow for circuit differentiation, polarity assignment, or channel identification without affecting electrical performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 5934-6 is supplied in a 10-piece package configuration. The 5934-0 and 5934-2 are available in bulk packaging. Functional specifications remain identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8536.69.8000.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these connectors?

A: All three parts accommodate wire gauges from 18 to 22 AWG, supporting standard test lead and measurement cable applications within this range.
