Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Switchcraft 852X qualifies as a direct substitute for the 852 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical mating diameter: 2.46mm ID (0.097")
• Matching connector type: Phone Plug, Male gender
• Identical signal configuration: Mono with 2 conductors and 2 contacts
• Matching termination method: Solder Eyelet(s)
• Identical mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Same electrical ratings: 125VAC, 125 mA
• Identical operating temperature range: -20°C ~ 65°C
• Same series designation: MICRO-PLUG®

These parameters define the substitution criteria for mono phone plug connectors in this category. Parts matching all specified parameters are functionally equivalent for applications requiring standardized 2.46mm mono connections.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Switchcraft 852 and 852X are active products with full compliance to ROHS3 and REACH standards. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability. The 852X is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 852 packaging specification is not defined. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct interchangeability in applications requiring 2.46mm mono phone plug connectors with solder eyelet termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Switchcraft 852X replace the Switchcraft 852 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 852X is a direct substitute with identical mating diameter (2.46mm), connector type (mono phone plug), termination method (solder eyelet), electrical ratings (125VAC, 125 mA), and operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 65°C). All critical mechanical and electrical parameters match.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is packaging. The 852X is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 852 packaging type is not specified. Both parts are from the same MICRO-PLUG® series and share identical specifications.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for audio applications?

A: Yes. Both the 852 and 852X are mono phone plug connectors designed for audio and signal applications requiring standardized 2.46mm mating diameter connections.

Q: What termination method do these connectors use?

A: Both connectors use solder eyelet termination, which provides a reliable connection point for wire attachment through soldering.

Q: Do these parts meet environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 852 and 852X are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both connectors are rated for 125 mA maximum current at 125VAC.
