RASM732 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RASM732 is a power barrel connector jack designed for surface mount, right-angle applications. Manufactured by Switchcraft Inc., this solder-terminated connector serves as a standard interface for power delivery in electronic assemblies. The part is currently in active production with 955 units available in new original stock. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is essential for supply chain continuity, design flexibility, and procurement optimization when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative packaging configurations are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RASM732X qualifies as a direct substitute for the RASM732 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Gender: Male
• Actual Diameter: 0.048" (1.22mm ID), 0.169" (4.30mm OD)
• Number of Positions/Contacts: 2 Conductors, 3 Contacts
• Internal Switch Configuration: Single Switch, Normally Closed
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Termination Method: Solder
• Current Rating: 5 A
• Contact Material Composition: Copper Alloy with Silver Plating
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The RASM732X maintains full compatibility with the RASM732 across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is packaging configuration: RASM732X is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas RASM732 uses standard packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RASM732 and RASM732X are active production parts manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

• RASM732 is suitable for standard procurement workflows and applications requiring conventional packaging.
• RASM732X is appropriate for high-volume production runs and applications where bulk packaging reduces material handling and cost per unit.

Both parts carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, ensuring direct interchangeability in circuit design and PCB layout.
