Pomona Electronics 5935-5 Banana Jack Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Pomona Electronics 5935-5 is a miniature banana jack connector designed for solder eyelet termination applications. This component functions as a female connector for banana plug mating, featuring green insulation at the mating end. The part is currently in active production with 981 units available in new original stock condition.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when alternative color specifications are required for application-specific wiring standards, or when bulk packaging options are preferred for manufacturing operations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 5935-5 belongs to the Pomona Electronics 5935 base product family of miniature banana jack connectors with solder eyelet termination. Substitute parts within this family maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility through adherence to the following critical parameters:

Substitution-Determining Parameters:

• Type: Banana Jack (Female connector)
• Plug/Mating Plug Diameter: Miniature (mechanical fit requirement)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount (installation compatibility)
• Termination: Solder Eyelet(s) (circuit integration method)
• Insulation: Mating End Insulated (electrical safety)
• Wire Gauge: 18-22 AWG (conductor compatibility)
• Contact Material: Brass (electrical conductivity)
• Contact Finish: Nickel (corrosion resistance)
• Body Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon (mechanical durability)

The primary distinction between the 5935-5 and its substitute is the insulation color (green versus black), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit. Color selection is determined by application-specific wiring standards or circuit identification requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 5935-5 and 5935-0 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and deployment. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS commodity codes, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

Select 5935-5 (Green) when circuit design or wiring standards mandate green insulation for identification purposes, or when existing inventory or documentation specifies this color variant.

Select 5935-0 (Black) when black insulation is required by application standards, when bulk packaging is preferred for manufacturing operations (1668 units available versus 981 for the 5935-5), or when the substitute part offers superior availability for production schedules.

Both parts are functionally and mechanically interchangeable for miniature banana jack connector applications requiring solder eyelet termination and panel mount installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 5935-5 and 5935-0 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical brass contacts with nickel finish, identical wire gauge specifications (18-22 AWG), and identical termination methods (solder eyelet). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the only functional difference between these parts?

A: The insulation color at the mating end. The 5935-5 features green insulation, while the 5935-0 features black insulation. This difference is cosmetic and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Can I substitute the 5935-0 for the 5935-5 in an existing design?

A: Substitution is possible if the application does not require green insulation for wiring identification or circuit documentation purposes. Verify that your circuit design or assembly standards do not mandate a specific color.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 5935-5 is supplied in standard packaging with 981 units in stock. The 5935-0 is supplied in bulk packaging with 1668 units in stock. Both are new original inventory.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the 5935-5 and 5935-0 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these connectors?

A: Both connectors accommodate 18-22 AWG wire gauges for solder eyelet termination.

Q: Are these parts suitable for panel mount applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are designed for panel mount installation with miniature banana plug mating diameter.
