Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RASM732P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Jack, Male configuration
• Mechanical Dimensions: Actual diameter 0.048" (1.22mm ID), 0.169" (4.30mm OD)
• Contact Configuration: 2 Conductors, 3 Contacts with Single Switch, Normally Closed
• Mounting Specification: Surface Mount, Right Angle orientation
• Termination Method: Solder
• Electrical Rating: 5 A current capacity
• Material Composition: Silver-plated copper alloy contacts, thermoplastic housing
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The RASM732PX qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all specified parameters. The primary distinction is packaging configuration (Bulk versus standard packaging), which does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RASM732P and RASM732PX maintain active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, confirming their suitability for current manufacturing environments. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than functional or compliance considerations, as both components are electrically and mechanically identical.

The RASM732PX is supplied in Bulk packaging, which may be advantageous for high-volume production runs or when standard packaging is not a requirement. The RASM732P maintains standard packaging configuration. Both parts carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RASM732PX be used as a direct replacement for RASM732P in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RASM732PX is a direct functional and mechanical equivalent. All electrical parameters, dimensional specifications, contact configurations, and mounting characteristics are identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus standard).

Q: What determines compatibility between RASM732P and its substitutes?

A: Compatibility is established through equivalence in connector type, gender, mechanical diameter, contact count and configuration, mounting orientation, termination method, current rating, contact materials, and compliance certifications. All these parameters are identical between the RASM732P and RASM732PX.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the RASM732P and RASM732PX carry identical ROHS3 compliance status and REACH unaffected designation. MSL ratings are also equivalent at Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Does packaging affect the electrical or mechanical performance of these connectors?

A: No. Packaging format does not influence connector performance, reliability, or specifications. The Bulk packaging of the RASM732PX provides the same component quality and functionality as the standard packaging of the RASM732P.

Q: What is the current rating for these barrel connectors?

A: Both the RASM732P and RASM732PX are rated for 5 A continuous current, with silver-plated copper alloy contacts providing reliable conductivity for power distribution applications.
