PP-002C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PP-002C is a power barrel connector plug manufactured by CUI Devices, designed for free hanging (in-line) solder termination applications. This connector features a 1.00mm ID (0.039") and 4.60mm OD (0.138") configuration, supporting up to 5A at 24VDC. The part is currently in stock with 809 units available as new original inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when mechanical and electrical parameters align within the allowed tolerance ranges for barrel connector plugs, enabling direct functional replacement in compatible applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The PP3-002C qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Both parts maintain the same 4.60mm OD (0.138"), ensuring compatible mating with receptacles designed for this outer diameter
• Both feature free hanging (in-line) mounting configuration
• Both utilize solder termination method
• Both contain 2 conductors and 2 contacts

Electrical Compatibility:

• Both rated for 24VDC operation
• Both support 5A current rating
• Both operate within overlapping temperature ranges (0°C ~ 40°C)

Regulatory Alignment:

• Both are ROHS3 compliant
• Both maintain equivalent material and contact specifications (Brass body, Nickel-plated contacts)

The primary dimensional difference is the ID specification: PP-002C features 1.00mm ID while PP3-002C features 1.10mm ID. This variance represents a 0.10mm tolerance difference and is within acceptable substitution parameters for barrel connector applications where mating receptacle specifications accommodate this range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PP-002C and PP3-002C are ROHS3 compliant and maintain equivalent regulatory certifications. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific mating receptacle specifications:

• PP-002C is specified for applications requiring 1.00mm ID mating receptacles
• PP3-002C is specified for applications requiring 1.10mm ID mating receptacles

The PP3-002C offers significantly higher inventory availability (7559 units versus 809 units), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings, operating temperature ranges, and termination methods, ensuring functional equivalence within their respective mechanical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PP3-002C directly replace PP-002C in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when the mating receptacle accommodates the 1.10mm ID specification of the PP3-002C. The 0.10mm ID difference must be verified against receptacle tolerances before implementation.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connector plugs?

A: The primary difference is the inner diameter (ID): PP-002C features 1.00mm ID while PP3-002C features 1.10mm ID. The outer diameter (OD) remains constant at 4.60mm for both parts.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 24VDC operation at 5A maximum current, with identical operating temperature ranges (0°C ~ 40°C) and contact material specifications.

Q: What packaging is provided for each part?

A: PP-002C is supplied without specified packaging designation. PP3-002C is supplied in bag packaging, with each unit including 2 pieces (1 connector and 1 handle).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both PP-002C and PP3-002C are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and material restriction requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on the mating receptacle specification. If the receptacle is designed for 1.10mm ID, PP3-002C is the appropriate choice. If the receptacle requires 1.00mm ID, PP-002C must be used. Verify receptacle specifications before finalizing component selection.
