Brother PA-CR-002A Active Docking and Mounting Station with Power and USB

Overview

The Brother PA-CR-002A is an active docking and mounting station designed to keep RJ-series mobile printers powered and connected in fixed or vehicle-mounted deployments. Rather than relying solely on battery runtime, this station delivers continuous power and USB data connectivity — the practical choice when a printer is operating at a fixed workstation, in-vehicle dispatch point, or warehouse staging area where battery swaps would interrupt workflow. The PA-CR-002A holds the printer securely in position while simultaneously charging and enabling USB communication with a host system.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Brother RJ-series mobile label and receipt printers. Confirm your specific RJ model against Brother's compatibility matrix before ordering — the RJ family spans multiple form factors and not every RJ variant shares the same docking interface. If you are running a mixed fleet of Brother mobile printers, verify the docking connector generation matches your units.

Installation Notes

The station measures 7.90 in (L) × 8.10 in (W) × 3.40 in (H) and weighs 0.95 lbs, making it compact enough for vehicle console mounts or under-counter installations. Power and USB connections are the two interface requirements — route both before final mount positioning. In vehicle deployments, confirm the power source voltage matches the station's input spec from the Brother installation guide; no additional tools or torque specs are documented in available evidence. For fixed mobile printer staging areas, wall or surface mounting hardware is not included — plan for a bracket compatible with your surface type.
