One poster said the right-angle adapter was #DWARA100. This is not correct. That model is older and visually different. Another poster was correct in saying that it is actually #DWARA60. The other similar model that Dewalt currently sells is #DWARA120, which is black instead of yellow. Now, what is the difference between the 60 and the 120? Hard to say exactly. From the exterior, they are identical. Both have a 1.5" depth, both have a hole in the back to push the bit out, both are magnetic and impact-rated. The packaging for the 60 seems to claim 5x longer life. The packaging for the 120 varies between 5x and 10x. On the Lowe's website the packaging claims 5x longer life, but in person the packaging says 10x. (5x or 10x of what, I don't know.)
Anyways, the main difference seems to come down to weight. The 60 is about 5.29oz while the 120 is about 6.67oz, according to the website linked below. This difference in weight appears to be primarily in the gearbox, indicating that the 120 probably has beefier gears and will hold up to more abuse, especially from impact drivers. Nobody on the internet seems to have taken apart the gearboxes to confirm this theory, but it seems likely.
If you want more information on the subject, the Q&A on Lowe's and Home Depot didn't have any good answers, but the comments section on this [toolguyd.com] post were very helpful.
Also, ignore the information on Dewalt's website regarding these adapters. Their information seems to be outdated.

There's also a DWARA50 which is yellow with a black head, and that is not impact rated and does not have a magnet.
