Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ASJ-106-B-G-T/R is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector type: Female phone jack
• Mating diameter: 4.60mm (0.141", 1/8", Mini Plug) headphone standard
• Signal configuration: Stereo (3 Conductor, TRS)
• Contact count: 3 Conductors, 4 Contacts
• Mounting configuration: Surface mount, right angle orientation
• Termination method: Solder
• Internal switch configuration: Single switch
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Mating depth: 0.551" (14.00mm)

The CUI Devices SJ-3524-SMT-TR meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product with current availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SJ-3524-SMT-TR from CUI Devices is a direct functional equivalent to the ASJ-106-B-G-T/R. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, including mating diameter, contact configuration, mounting orientation, and termination method.

The SJ-3524-SMT-TR offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing and availability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.

Differences in contact plating (gold versus silver), housing material (thermoplastic versus polyamide), and rated electrical parameters (voltage and current) should be evaluated against specific application requirements. The SJ-3524-SMT-TR provides an extended operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C versus -20°C to 70°C) and higher current rating (1 A versus 500 mA).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SJ-3524-SMT-TR be used as a direct replacement for the ASJ-106-B-G-T/R?

A: Yes. Both connectors meet the same mechanical and electrical interface specifications for 4.60mm stereo phone jack applications. The mating diameter, contact configuration, mounting type, and termination method are identical.

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

A: The primary differences are contact plating material (gold versus silver), housing material composition (thermoplastic versus polyamide), operating temperature range, and rated electrical parameters. The SJ-3524-SMT-TR provides a wider operating temperature range and higher current capacity.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ASJ-106-B-G-T/R and SJ-3524-SMT-TR are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The SJ-3524-SMT-TR is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging formats.

Q: Does the difference in contact plating affect compatibility?

A: Both gold and silver plating on copper alloy contacts are suitable for audio jack applications. The choice depends on specific application requirements regarding contact resistance and environmental exposure.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both connectors have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.
