RASH722 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RASH722 is a power barrel connector jack manufactured by Switchcraft Inc., designed for 2.00mm ID (0.079"), 5.50mm OD (0.217") applications. This connector features surface mount and through-hole mounting options with solder termination and includes a single normally closed internal switch. The RASH722 is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement.

• Matching industry recognized mating diameter: 2.00mm ID, 5.50mm OD
• Matching actual diameter specifications: 0.076" (1.93mm ID), 0.248" (6.30mm OD)
• Identical number of positions and contacts: 2 Conductors, 3 Contacts
• Identical internal switch configuration: Single Switch, Normally Closed
• Matching mounting type: Surface Mount, Right Angle; Through Hole
• Identical termination method: Solder
• Matching current rating: 5 A
• Identical housing material: Thermoplastic
• Matching body color: Black
• Identical shielding: Unshielded
• Matching features: Board Guide

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RASH722X is the active equivalent for the obsolete RASH722. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters match, ensuring functional compatibility in existing designs. The RASH722X offers the additional advantage of ROHS3 compliance, whereas the RASH722 is RoHS non-compliant. The RASH722X features silver plating on contacts and copper alloy contact material, compared to brass in the original part. Both parts maintain identical performance specifications for connector type, mating diameter, contact configuration, switching behavior, mounting options, and current rating. Selection of the RASH722X is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications requiring an active, compliant alternative to the discontinued RASH722.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RASH722X directly replace the RASH722 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RASH722X matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the RASH722, including mating diameter, contact configuration, internal switch behavior, mounting type, and current rating. Physical and functional compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the primary difference between the RASH722 and RASH722X?

A: The RASH722 is obsolete, while the RASH722X is active. The RASH722X is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the RASH722 is RoHS non-compliant. Contact material specifications differ: the RASH722X uses silver plating and copper alloy contacts, while the RASH722 uses brass contacts.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RASH722 packaging is not specified. The RASH722X is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Do both parts support the same mounting configurations?

A: Yes. Both the RASH722 and RASH722X support surface mount right-angle and through-hole mounting with solder termination.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 5 A continuous current.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when switching from RASH722 to RASH722X?

A: Yes. The RASH722X is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance. The RASH722 is RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in new designs subject to RoHS regulations.
