Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 5934 series banana plug connectors are functionally interchangeable based on the following core parameters that remain constant across all variants:

• 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
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The primary differentiator among substitute parts is color coding. The 5934-9 (white), 5934-0 (black), and 5934-2 (red) are direct substitutes that differ only in insulation color, which serves as a visual identification method for circuit polarity and function designation in multi-connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three variants within the 5934 series meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between 5934-9 (white), 5934-0 (black), and 5934-2 (red) should be based on color-coding requirements for your application. All variants are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Inventory availability differs among variants: 5934-2 (red) has the highest stock level at 2204 units, followed by 5934-0 (black) at 1743 units, and 5934-9 (white) at 919 units. If color coding is not a critical design requirement, selection may be optimized based on supply chain availability and lead time considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 5934-0, 5934-2, and 5934-9 connectors electrically identical?

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

Q: Can I substitute one color variant for another in my circuit?

A: Electrical substitution is possible since all variants meet identical specifications. However, if your circuit design or assembly documentation specifies color coding for polarity identification or circuit tracing, the color variant must match your design requirements.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these connectors?

A: All 5934 series variants 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 technical data for this product category. Consult Pomona Electronics technical documentation or contact the manufacturer for thermal performance requirements.

Q: Do these connectors require soldering?

A: No. All 5934 series variants use solderless termination, allowing direct wire insertion without solder connections.

Q: What is the mating interface for these connectors?

A: These are male banana plugs with standard banana plug diameter. They mate with standard banana jack receptacles.
