Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Switchcraft 113X qualifies as a direct substitute for the Switchcraft 113 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the following critical substitution criteria:

• Connector type, gender, and signal configuration (Phone Jack, Female, Mono)
• Mating diameter and industry standard (6.35mm headphone jack)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder Eyelet)
• Contact count and internal switch configuration (2 Conductors, 4 Contacts, Single Switch)
• Electrical ratings (48VDC, 3 A)
• Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 65°C)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant)

The primary difference between these parts is packaging: the 113 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 113X is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Switchcraft 113X is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the Switchcraft 113. Both parts are manufactured by Switchcraft Inc., belong to the same Hi-D® 11* series, and carry identical ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection between these two part numbers should be based solely on packaging requirements and inventory availability.

Use the Switchcraft 113 when standard packaging is required or specified in procurement documentation. Use the Switchcraft 113X when bulk packaging is acceptable or preferred for high-volume assembly operations. Both parts meet all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications identically.
