E-Z-Hook 9218ORN Tip Jack Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-Z-Hook 9218ORN is a panel-mount tip jack connector with turret termination, designed for standard tip applications. This fully insulated connector features orange insulation and silver-plated beryllium copper contacts. The part is currently active in production with 893 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, specific termination requirements, or application-specific compliance needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 9218ORN is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Tip Jack (Female gender)
• Mating Interface: Standard Tip diameter
• Mounting Configuration: Panel Mount
• Insulation Classification: Fully Insulated or Mating End Insulated
• Color Coding: Orange
• Termination Method: Turret or Threaded and Turret configurations

The Pomona Electronics 3542-3 qualifies as a substitute based on matching connector type, gender, standard tip diameter, panel mount configuration, orange color, and compatible termination options. Variations in contact material, contact finish, body material, and operating temperature do not preclude substitution when the primary functional parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the E-Z-Hook 9218ORN and Pomona Electronics 3542-3 are active production parts with full regulatory compliance. The 9218ORN provides turret-only termination with fully insulated construction and silver contact finish. The 3542-3 offers dual termination capability (threaded and turret) with mating end insulation and gold contact finish, providing additional flexibility for panel integration.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific termination requirements and insulation coverage needs for the application. Both parts maintain RoHS and REACH compliance, ensuring suitability for regulated environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Pomona Electronics 3542-3 directly replace the E-Z-Hook 9218ORN?

A: Yes, for applications requiring standard tip female panel-mount connectors with orange insulation. The 3542-3 provides additional threaded termination options beyond the turret termination of the 9218ORN.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: Primary differences include termination method (turret only vs. threaded and turret), insulation coverage (fully insulated vs. mating end insulated), contact material (beryllium copper vs. brass), contact finish (silver vs. gold), and body material (polyamide vs. polycarbonate).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 9218ORN is RoHS Compliant, and the 3542-3 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements.

Q: Does insulation type affect substitution compatibility?

A: Insulation type is a functional parameter that may affect application suitability. The 9218ORN provides full insulation, while the 3542-3 provides mating end insulation. Selection depends on the specific electrical safety requirements of the application.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Verify inventory availability and lead times based on project requirements.
