Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ASJ-106-C-G-T/R is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Phone Jack (Mono)
• Mating Diameter: 4.60mm (0.141", 1/8", Mini Plug)
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 2 Conductors, 3 Contacts
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Internal Switch(s): Single Switch
• Gender: Female
• Signal Lines: Mono
• Shielding: Unshielded

The MJ-3523-SMT-TR from CUI Devices meets all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical mating diameter specifications, contact configuration, mounting orientation, and functional characteristics required for mono audio jack applications. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and maintain MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MJ-3523-SMT-TR is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete ASJ-106-C-G-T/R. Both components satisfy identical mechanical and electrical interface requirements for 4.60mm mono audio jack applications.

The MJ-3523-SMT-TR offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), meeting environmental and reliability standards.

The MJ-3523-SMT-TR operates across a wider temperature range (-25°C to 85°C versus -20°C to 70°C) and supports higher current capacity (1 A versus 500 mA). The substitute part is rated for 12VDC compared to the original 30VDC specification. For applications requiring the original 30VDC rating, this parameter difference must be evaluated against actual circuit requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MJ-3523-SMT-TR directly replace the ASJ-106-C-G-T/R in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating diameter (4.60mm), contact configuration (2 conductors, 3 contacts), mounting type (surface mount, right angle), and functional characteristics. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible.

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

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), operating temperature range (-20°C to 70°C versus -25°C to 85°C), voltage rating (30VDC versus 12VDC), current capacity (500 mA versus 1 A), contact plating (gold versus silver), and housing material (thermoplastic versus polyamide/nylon 6T).

Q: Does the voltage rating difference affect substitution suitability?

A: The MJ-3523-SMT-TR is rated for 12VDC, while the original part is rated for 30VDC. For applications operating at or below 12VDC, the substitute is suitable. Applications requiring 30VDC operation must verify that the lower voltage rating of the substitute meets circuit requirements.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ASJ-106-C-G-T/R and MJ-3523-SMT-TR are ROHS3 compliant and maintain MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The ASJ-106-C-G-T/R packaging is not specified in available data. The MJ-3523-SMT-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, standard for surface mount production environments.
