Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Switchcraft 113BX is identified as a direct substitute for the 113B based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the following critical specifications that determine substitutability:

• Connector type and gender (Female Phone Jack)
• Signal configuration (Stereo, 3 Conductor TRS)
• Mating diameter (6.35mm / 0.250")
• Contact count (3 Conductors, 4 Contacts)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder Eyelet)
• Electrical ratings (48VDC, 3A)
• Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 65°C)
• Panel hole and thread dimensions (0.375" hole, 3/8"-32 thread)

The primary difference between these parts is packaging: the 113B is supplied in standard packaging, while the 113BX is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. within the Hi-D® 11* series and maintain identical functional and electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 113B and 113BX are active production parts manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulations. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

• Select the 113B when standard packaging is required or preferred for smaller quantity orders.
• Select the 113BX when bulk packaging is acceptable and higher inventory availability is needed. The 113BX currently has 2,345 units in stock compared to 1,084 units for the 113B.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical and will function identically in panel mount applications requiring 6.35mm stereo headphone jack connectors with solder eyelet termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 113BX be used as a direct replacement for the 113B?

A: Yes. The 113BX is a direct functional equivalent. Both parts have identical electrical ratings (48VDC, 3A), mechanical dimensions (6.35mm mating diameter, 0.375" panel hole, 3/8"-32 thread), contact configuration (3 Conductor TRS), and termination method (Solder Eyelet). The only difference is packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between the 113B and 113BX?

A: The primary difference is packaging. The 113B uses standard packaging, while the 113BX uses bulk packaging. Functionally and electrically, both parts are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 113B and 113BX are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: These 6.35mm stereo phone jack connectors are used in audio equipment, telecommunications devices, instrumentation, and any application requiring panel-mounted 1/4" headphone jack connectivity with three-conductor (TRS) signal configuration.

Q: What are the electrical specifications?

A: Both parts are rated for 48VDC maximum voltage and 3A maximum current, with an operating temperature range of -20°C to 65°C.

Q: What mounting hardware is included?

A: Each connector includes mounting hardware consisting of 1 connector, 1 nut, and 1 washer. The connector features a thread lock mechanism for secure panel mounting.
