Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RASM722PX qualifies as a direct substitute for the RASM722P based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Both are jack-type male connectors
• Mating Diameter: Identical 2.00mm ID (0.079"), 5.50mm OD (0.217") specification
• Contact Configuration: Both feature 2 conductors with 3 contacts
• Internal Switch Function: Single switch, normally closed configuration in both parts
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount, right-angle orientation with solder termination
• Electrical Rating: 5 A current rating maintained
• Material Specifications: Silver-plated copper alloy contacts with thermoplastic housing
• Compliance: Both ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating

The substitution is based on functional equivalence across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. The RASM722PX is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the RASM722P packaging specification is not provided.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RASM722P and RASM722PX are active production parts from Switchcraft Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: The RASM722PX offers significantly higher stock levels (9729 units) compared to the RASM722P (819 units), providing greater supply chain security for high-volume applications.
• Packaging Requirements: The RASM722PX is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly process requirements.
• Compliance Status: Both parts maintain equivalent ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, suitable for standard manufacturing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RASM722PX be used as a direct replacement for RASM722P?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, mating diameter, contact configuration, mounting orientation, and current rating.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by matching: connector type (jack), gender (male), mating diameter (2.00mm ID / 5.50mm OD), contact configuration (2 conductors, 3 contacts), internal switch function (single switch, normally closed), mounting type (surface mount, right angle), termination method (solder), and current rating (5 A).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RASM722PX is specified as bulk packaging. Confirm that bulk packaging is compatible with your procurement and assembly workflow before substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both RASM722P and RASM722PX are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 5 A continuous current, with silver-plated copper alloy contacts designed for reliable power distribution in barrel connector applications.
