Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RAPC732X qualifies as a direct substitute for the RAPC732 based on matching critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

• Connector type (Jack) and gender (Male) must be identical
• Actual diameter specifications must match: 0.048" (1.22mm ID), 0.169" (4.30mm OD)
• Contact configuration must remain consistent: 2 Conductors, 3 Contacts
• Internal switching mechanism must be preserved: Single Switch, Normally Closed
• Mounting configuration must be identical: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination method must match: Solder Eyelet(s)
• Current rating must be equal or greater: 5 A minimum
• Contact and housing materials must be compatible: Silver plating on brass contacts, thermoplastic housing

The RAPC732X meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct manufacturer equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RAPC732 and RAPC732X are active products manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. The RAPC732X is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and inventory requirements. The RAPC732X is available in bulk packaging with significantly higher inventory levels (5811 units), making it suitable for high-volume applications or long-term supply assurance. The RAPC732 is available in standard packaging with 734 units in stock. Both parts are suitable for immediate deployment in applications requiring power barrel connector jacks with through-hole, right-angle mounting and solder eyelet termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RAPC732X be used as a direct replacement for RAPC732?
