Switchcraft 113BPC Barrel Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Switchcraft 113BPC is a 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") stereo phone jack connector designed for panel mount applications with solder termination. This connector is part of the Hi-D® 11* series and serves as a standard headphone jack interface in audio equipment and instrumentation. The 113BPC is currently in active production with 1,049 units available in new original stock. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, packaging requirements, or specific application needs necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 113BPCX is classified as a direct manufacturer substitute for the 113BPC based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Connector Type & Gender: Both are female stereo phone jacks
• Signal Configuration: Both support 3-conductor TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) stereo operation
• Mating Diameter: Both accept 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") plugs
• Contact Count: Both provide 3 conductors with 4 total contacts
• Mounting & Termination: Both feature panel mount through-hole design with solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: Both rated for 48VDC and 3A current
• Temperature Range: Both operate across -20°C ~ 65°C
• Compliance: Both meet ROHS3 requirements

The primary difference is packaging: the 113BPC is supplied in standard packaging, while the 113BPCX is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and belong to the Hi-D® 11* series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 113BPC and 113BPCX are active production components manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Select 113BPC when:

• Standard packaging is acceptable for your supply chain
• Higher inventory availability is preferred (1,049 units in stock)
• Packaging specifications do not impose constraints

Select 113BPCX when:

• Bulk packaging is required for your manufacturing process
• Cost optimization through bulk packaging is a priority
• Standard packaging inventory is insufficient

Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical and will function interchangeably in any application requiring a 6.35mm stereo phone jack with panel mount solder termination rated for 48VDC and 3A operation across the -20°C ~ 65°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 113BPC and 113BPCX electrically identical? A: Yes. Both connectors provide identical electrical performance with 3-conductor TRS stereo configuration, 48VDC voltage rating, and 3A current capacity. They will function identically in any audio or instrumentation application.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers? A: The primary difference is packaging. The 113BPC uses standard packaging, while the 113BPCX uses bulk packaging. All electrical, mechanical, and performance specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use 113BPCX as a direct replacement for 113BPC in production? A: Yes. The 113BPCX is a direct substitute for the 113BPC. Both are manufactured by Switchcraft Inc., belong to the Hi-D® 11* series, and meet all identical specifications for panel mount stereo phone jack applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both the 113BPC and 113BPCX are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What mating plug diameter do these connectors accept? A: Both connectors accept 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") diameter plugs, the standard headphone jack size.

Q: What is the panel hole size required for installation? A: The panel hole size is 0.375" (9.52mm) with a 3/8"-32 thread size for both connectors.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications? A: Both connectors operate within the -20°C ~ 65°C temperature range. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative components.
