Pomona Electronics 5935-4 Banana Jack Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Pomona Electronics 5935-4 is a miniature banana jack connector with solder eyelet termination, designed for panel mount applications requiring reliable electrical connections in compact form factors. This connector is manufactured with yellow insulation at the mating end and is supplied in packaging quantities of 10 pieces per unit. The part is currently in active production with 819 units available in new original stock condition.

Identification of equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when managing inventory across multiple procurement channels, accommodating regional supply variations, or when the primary part number reaches end-of-life status while functionally compatible alternatives remain available.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Pomona Electronics 5935-4 is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Connector Type: Banana Jack (Female gender)
• Plug/Mating Plug Diameter: Miniature
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Termination Method: Solder Eyelet(s)
• Insulation Configuration: Mating End Insulated
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 18-22 AWG
• Contact Material: Brass with Nickel finish
• Body Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Base Product Number: 5935 series

The substitute part 5935-0 shares the identical base product number (5935) and maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the main part. The primary distinction is the color designation (Black versus Yellow) and packaging configuration (Bulk versus standard packaging). Both parts are manufactured by Pomona Electronics, maintain the same connector specifications, and are ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 5935-4 and 5935-0 maintain active product status with Pomona Electronics and are fully compliant with ROHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

5935-4 (Yellow): Select this part number when circuit identification or color-coded wiring schemes require yellow insulation at the mating end. Standard packaging configuration supports typical component procurement workflows.

5935-0 (Black): Select this part number when black insulation is required for circuit identification purposes or when bulk packaging quantities align with high-volume manufacturing requirements. Bulk packaging may provide cost advantages for large-scale production runs.

Both parts carry identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory certifications. The choice between them is determined solely by color requirement and packaging quantity needs, not by functional or performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 5935-4 and 5935-0 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are banana jack connectors with identical electrical specifications: miniature plug diameter, solder eyelet termination, 18-22 AWG wire gauge compatibility, brass contacts with nickel finish, and mating end insulation. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the only functional difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are insulation color (Yellow for 5935-4 versus Black for 5935-0) and packaging configuration (standard versus bulk). All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use 5935-0 (Black) in place of 5935-4 (Yellow) in my design?

A: Substitution is permissible if your application does not require color-coded circuit identification. If color coding is a design requirement or specification, the appropriate part number must be used.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both 5935-4 and 5935-0 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What packaging quantities are available for each part?

A: The 5935-4 is supplied in standard packaging (10 pieces per unit). The 5935-0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify specific quantity requirements with your procurement channel.

Q: Can these connectors be used with wire gauges outside the 18-22 AWG range?

A: No. Both parts are specified for 18-22 AWG wire gauge. Wire sizes outside this range may result in improper contact pressure and unreliable electrical connections.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical between 5935-4 and 5935-0?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same base product number (5935) and maintain identical mechanical specifications for miniature banana jack connectors with panel mount configuration.
