Switchcraft 112APC Barrel Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Switchcraft 112APC is a 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") mono headphone phone jack connector designed for panel mount, through-hole solder applications. This connector is part of the Hi-D® 11* series and serves as a standard interface for audio signal routing in professional and consumer audio equipment. The part is currently in active production with 723 units available in new original stock. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when packaging requirements differ.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 112APCX is identified as a direct substitute for the 112APC based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Connector type, gender, and signal configuration are identical (Phone Jack, Female, Mono)
• Mating diameter and contact configuration match exactly (6.35mm, 2 Conductors, 3 Contacts)
• Mounting type and termination method are the same (Panel Mount, Through Hole, Solder)
• Electrical ratings are equivalent or exceed requirements (48VDC, 3 A minimum)
• Operating temperature range encompasses the application environment (-20°C ~ 65°C)
• Panel hole size and thread size are identical (0.375", 3/8"-32)
• RoHS and regulatory compliance status are equivalent or superior

The primary distinction between 112APC and 112APCX is packaging format: 112APC is supplied in standard packaging, while 112APCX is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts are manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and belong to the Hi-D® 11* series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 112APC and 112APCX are active production parts manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and maintain ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and inventory requirements:

• 112APC: Select when standard packaging is required or when inventory of 723 units meets immediate needs.
• 112APCX: Select when bulk packaging is preferred or when higher inventory availability (7021 units) is advantageous for volume procurement.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 6.35mm mono phone jack connectors with panel mount, through-hole solder termination rated for 48VDC and 3 A operation across the -20°C to 65°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 112APCX be used as a direct replacement for 112APC?

A: Yes. The 112APCX is a direct substitute for 112APC. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, mounting specifications, and regulatory compliance are identical. The only difference is packaging format (bulk versus standard).

Q: What determines compatibility between 112APC and 112APCX?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching connector type (Phone Jack), gender (Female), signal configuration (Mono), mating diameter (6.35mm), contact count (2 Conductors, 3 Contacts), mounting type (Panel Mount, Through Hole), termination method (Solder), electrical ratings (48VDC, 3 A), operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 65°C), and panel hole/thread specifications (0.375", 3/8"-32).

Q: Are there any restrictions on using 112APCX in place of 112APC?

A: No electrical or mechanical restrictions exist. Both parts are manufactured by Switchcraft Inc., belong to the Hi-D® 11* series, and maintain identical specifications. Selection is based solely on packaging preference and inventory availability.

Q: What is the difference between 112APC and 112APCX packaging?

A: 112APC is supplied in standard packaging, while 112APCX is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement logistics and inventory management but does not impact component performance or compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 112APC and 112APCX are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.
