EHRCA2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EHRCA2 is a barrel connector adapter manufactured by Switchcraft Inc., specifically designed as a Phono (RCA) Jack to Phono (RCA) Jack adapter with panel mount configuration. This component functions as a gender converter, enabling connection between two female RCA jack connectors. The part is classified as Active and maintains full inventory availability with 964 units in stock as new original components. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, ensuring functional interchangeability within the same series and connector category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the EHRCA2 are identified based on strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Phono (RCA) Jack to Phono (RCA) Jack
• Gender configuration: Female to Female
• Series classification: EH (same manufacturer series)
• Mounting type: Panel Mount with Flange
• Conductor count: 2 Conductors
• Material and finish specifications: Copper Alloy with Nickel finish
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected

The EHRCA2X qualifies as a direct substitute within the same series, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in packaging format (Bulk versus standard packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the EHRCA2 and EHRCA2X are Active products manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. within the EH series. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance, as both components maintain identical specifications across all functional parameters.

The EHRCA2X in Bulk packaging offers higher inventory availability at 1032 units compared to 964 units for the standard EHRCA2. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications requiring environmental compliance certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EHRCA2X be used as a direct replacement for EHRCA2?

A: Yes. The EHRCA2X is a direct substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus standard), which does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: What determines compatibility between EHRCA2 and EHRCA2X?

A: Compatibility is ensured through matching parameters: same manufacturer series (EH), identical connector type (Phono RCA Jack to Jack), matching gender configuration (Female to Female), equivalent conductor count (2 Conductors), and identical material specifications (Copper Alloy with Nickel finish).

Q: Are there regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both EHRCA2 and EHRCA2X maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, with the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.69.4030).

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (standard versus Bulk) is a supply chain consideration only and does not impact electrical characteristics, mechanical fit, or functional performance of the connector adapter.

Q: What is the primary application for this adapter?

A: The EHRCA2 and EHRCA2X are Phono (RCA) Jack to Phono (RCA) Jack adapters designed for panel mount installations where two female RCA connectors require connection through a gender converter interface.
