RASH712P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RASH712P is a power barrel connector jack manufactured by Switchcraft Inc., designed for 2.5mm ID (0.098") and 5.5mm OD (0.217") applications. This surface mount, right-angle connector features solder termination and is commonly used in power distribution circuits requiring compact, reliable connections. The part is currently active in production with 734 units in stock, making it readily available for new designs and replacement applications. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design flexibility, supply chain continuity, and access to alternative packaging or mounting configurations when the primary part becomes unavailable or when project requirements necessitate different form factors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RASH712P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Mating diameter: 2.50mm ID (0.098"), 5.50mm OD (0.217")
• Connector type: Jack
• Gender: Male
• Number of contacts: 2 Conductors, 3 Contacts
• Internal switch configuration: Single Switch, Normally Closed
• Termination method: Solder
• Current rating: 5 A minimum
• Contact material plating: Silver
• Housing material: Thermoplastic
• Contact material: Copper Alloy
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The RASH712PX qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is packaging configuration and mounting implementation, with RASH712PX available in bulk packaging and supporting both surface mount and through-hole mounting options, whereas RASH712P is specified for surface mount, right-angle configuration only.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RASH712P and RASH712PX are active production parts manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

RASH712P is the specified choice for applications requiring surface mount, right-angle configuration with standard packaging. This part maintains the exact form factor and mounting orientation specified in the original design.

RASH712PX provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with expanded mounting flexibility, supporting both surface mount and through-hole implementations. This part is available in bulk packaging, making it suitable for high-volume production runs or when alternative mounting methods are acceptable within the design constraints.

Both parts support 5 A current rating, silver-plated copper alloy contacts, and thermoplastic housing in black. Substitution between these parts is electrically and mechanically valid when mounting configuration and packaging requirements align with the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RASH712PX be used as a direct replacement for RASH712P in existing designs?

A: RASH712PX is electrically and mechanically equivalent to RASH712P. However, RASH712PX supports both surface mount and through-hole mounting, whereas RASH712P is specified for surface mount, right-angle only. Substitution is valid if the PCB layout and mounting requirements accommodate the RASH712PX configuration.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility for this barrel connector?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching mating diameter (2.50mm ID / 5.50mm OD), connector type (Jack), gender (Male), contact count (2 Conductors, 3 Contacts), internal switch configuration (Single Switch, Normally Closed), termination method (Solder), current rating (5 A), contact plating (Silver), housing material (Thermoplastic), and RoHS compliance status (ROHS3).

Q: Are there differences in packaging between RASH712P and RASH712PX?

A: Yes. RASH712P uses standard packaging, while RASH712PX is available in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging is typically preferred for high-volume manufacturing or when component consolidation is required.

Q: Do both parts maintain the same electrical performance specifications?

A: Yes. Both RASH712P and RASH712PX are rated for 5 A current, feature silver-plated copper alloy contacts, and support identical switch configurations. Electrical performance is equivalent across both parts.

Q: What is the difference in mounting configuration between these parts?

A: RASH712P is specified for surface mount, right-angle mounting only. RASH712PX supports both surface mount and through-hole mounting options, providing greater design flexibility for different PCB assembly methods.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RASH712P and RASH712PX are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial applications.
