Switchcraft 882 Barrel Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Switchcraft 882 is a 2.46mm ID mono phone plug connector featuring 2 conductors and solder eyelet termination. This connector is part of the MICRO-PLUG® series and is designed for applications requiring compact, free-hanging inline connections with unshielded signal transmission. The part is currently in stock with 969 units available as new original inventory.

Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, termination method, and connector series classification to ensure direct functional equivalence in applications where the primary part is unavailable or procurement constraints exist.
