PRT-00119 Barrel Connector Jack Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRT-00119 is a DC barrel power jack connector manufactured by SparkFun Electronics, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This connector features a 2.00mm inner diameter (ID) and 6.50mm outer diameter (OD) barrel profile with 2 conductors and 3 contacts. The part is currently active in production with 1182 units in stock inventory. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to component availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for barrel connector jacks is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Barrel diameter (ID/OD) must match or be within acceptable tolerance for mating with corresponding plugs
• Mounting type (through-hole, right-angle orientation) must be identical
• Contact count and internal switch configuration must be equivalent

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage rating of substitute must equal or exceed the original part rating
• Current rating must equal or exceed the original part rating
• Contact material and plating must support the same electrical performance

Environmental & Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance status must be maintained
• MSL rating must be compatible with storage and handling requirements

The PJ-202A from CUI Devices is identified as a substitute based on matching connector type (jack), gender (male), contact configuration (2 conductors, 3 contacts), internal switch type (single switch), mounting method (through-hole, right-angle), and housing material (PBT). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PRT-00119 Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice when solder eyelet termination is required for wave soldering or manual solder processes
• Specified for applications requiring nickel-plated copper contacts
• Suitable for 16VDC maximum rated applications
• ROHS3 compliant for regulated markets

PJ-202A Selection Criteria:

• Alternative when kinked pin termination is compatible with PCB assembly processes
• Specified for applications requiring higher voltage margin (24VDC rating vs. 16VDC)
• Suitable when operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C is required
• ROHS3 compliant for regulated markets
• Tin-plated brass/copper alloy contacts provide alternative contact material specification

Both parts maintain equivalent current handling (2.5 A), contact configuration (2 conductors, 3 contacts), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). Selection between these parts depends on termination method compatibility with the target PCB assembly process and specific voltage/temperature requirements of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PJ-202A directly replace PRT-00119 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of two factors: (1) PCB assembly process compatibility with kinked pin termination versus solder eyelet termination, and (2) confirmation that the 2.10mm ID / 5.50mm OD barrel diameter of PJ-202A is compatible with existing mating plugs designed for 2.00mm ID / 6.50mm OD. Barrel diameter differences may result in loose or tight mating conditions.

Q: What is the difference between solder eyelet and kinked pin termination?

A: Solder eyelet termination (PRT-00119) features a circular opening for manual soldering or wave soldering processes. Kinked pin termination (PJ-202A) uses a bent lead designed for insertion into PCB holes and reflow soldering. Selection depends on the assembly method and PCB design.

Q: Are the contact materials interchangeable?

A: Both parts use copper-based contact materials with different plating: PRT-00119 uses nickel plating on copper; PJ-202A uses tin plating on brass/copper alloy. Both are suitable for 2.5 A current applications. Contact material selection may affect corrosion resistance and solderability characteristics in specific environments.

Q: Does the voltage rating difference affect substitution?

A: PJ-202A has a 24VDC rating compared to PRT-00119's 16VDC rating. The higher rating on PJ-202A provides additional safety margin for 16VDC applications. However, this does not affect substitution eligibility for 16VDC or lower applications.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range specification?

A: PJ-202A specifies an operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C, while PRT-00119 does not provide this specification. For applications requiring operation outside standard room temperature conditions, PJ-202A's specified range provides documented performance parameters.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both PRT-00119 and PJ-202A are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, making them suitable for regulated markets and standard storage conditions.
