PP-002B Power Barrel Connector Plug Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PP-002B is a power barrel connector plug manufactured by CUI Devices, designed for 2.50mm ID (0.098") and 5.50mm OD (0.217") applications. This connector features solder eyelet termination and supports 24VDC at 5A current rating across an operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PP-002B is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug) and gender (Female)
• Mating diameter specifications: 2.50mm ID and 5.50mm OD
• Number of contacts: 2 Conductors, 2 Contacts
• Mounting configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact material composition: Brass with Nickel plating
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• Unshielded configuration

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Voltage rating: 24VDC or higher
• Current rating: 5A or higher
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 40°C or broader

Termination Compatibility: Solder eyelet termination is the primary termination method. Solder termination without eyelet specification is acceptable provided mechanical and electrical parameters align.

The PP3-002B and 760K meet these substitution criteria and are classified as equivalent alternatives to the obsolete PP-002B.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PP3-002B (CUI Devices) is the primary recommended substitute for the obsolete PP-002B. Both components are manufactured by CUI Devices and maintain identical mating diameter specifications and contact configurations. The PP3-002B offers improved current capacity (7A versus 5A) and is ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original PP-002B does not meet. The PP3-002B is classified as an active product with significantly higher inventory availability (9165 units), ensuring supply chain continuity. The reduced mating depth (9.50mm versus 14.00mm) must be evaluated against mechanical space constraints in the target application.

760K (Switchcraft Inc.) serves as an alternative substitute when CUI Devices sourcing is constrained. The 760K maintains identical mating diameter and contact specifications with solder eyelet termination matching the original PP-002B design. This component is ROHS3 compliant and carries active product status. The 760K includes mounting hardware and thread lock features not present in the PP-002B. Voltage rating specifications are not provided for the 760K; applications requiring explicit 24VDC rating confirmation should prioritize the PP3-002B.

Both substitute parts satisfy the electrical and mechanical requirements of the PP-002B within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PP3-002B be used as a direct replacement for PP-002B in existing designs?

A: PP3-002B is mechanically and electrically compatible with PP-002B for applications operating at 5A or below within the 0°C to 40°C temperature range. The reduced mating depth (9.50mm versus 14.00mm) requires verification against mechanical assembly constraints. Both components feature identical 2.50mm ID and 5.50mm OD mating diameters and 2-contact configurations.

Q: What is the primary difference between PP3-002B and 760K?

A: Both are functionally equivalent substitutes for PP-002B. PP3-002B is manufactured by CUI Devices (original manufacturer) and provides explicit 24VDC and 7A ratings. 760K is manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and includes mounting hardware and thread lock features. Voltage rating is not specified for 760K. Selection depends on manufacturer preference, feature requirements, and supply availability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the original PP-002B and substitute parts?

A: Yes. PP-002B is RoHS non-compliant. Both PP3-002B and 760K are ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use PP3-002B or 760K. All three components are REACH unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Does the reduced mating depth of PP3-002B affect compatibility?

A: The PP3-002B mating depth is 9.50mm compared to 14.00mm for PP-002B. This dimension affects the physical insertion depth into mating receptacles. Mechanical compatibility must be confirmed with the corresponding receptacle specifications before implementation.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: PP-002B packaging is not specified. PP3-002B is supplied in bag packaging. 760K is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection may influence procurement quantities and handling procedures.
