Switchcraft 113EPC Barrel Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Switchcraft 113EPC 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 is currently in active production with 770 units in stock. The 113EPC serves as a standard audio interface component in professional audio equipment, consumer electronics, and instrumentation applications requiring reliable mono audio signal transmission.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when procurement lead times require alternative sourcing, or when design revisions call for compatible components that meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of barrel connectors in this category is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Phone Jack)
• Gender (Female)
• Signal configuration (Mono)
• Mating diameter (6.35mm / 0.250" / 1/4")
• Contact count (2 Conductors, 4 Contacts)
• Voltage rating (48VDC minimum)
• Current rating (3 A minimum)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Panel hole size (0.375" / 9.52mm)
• Thread size (3/8"-32)

Regulatory & Environmental:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 65°C minimum)

The Switchcraft 113EPCX meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the 113EPC.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Switchcraft 113EPC and 113EPCX are active production components manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. The 113EPCX is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 113EPC across all specified parameters, including connector type, signal configuration, mating diameter, contact configuration, mounting specifications, and environmental ratings.

Selection between these parts should be based on procurement availability and lead time requirements. The 113EPC currently maintains higher inventory (770 units) compared to the 113EPCX (620 units). Both parts 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 113EPCX be used as a direct replacement for the 113EPC in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 113EPCX is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 113EPC. All critical parameters including connector type, mating diameter, contact configuration, mounting type, termination method, voltage rating, current rating, and operating temperature range are identical. No design modifications are required.

Q: What determines whether a connector qualifies as a substitute for the 113EPC?

A: Substitution requires equivalence across electrical parameters (connector type, gender, signal configuration, mating diameter, contact count, voltage and current ratings) and mechanical parameters (mounting type, termination method, panel hole size, thread size). Both parts must also maintain the same regulatory compliance status (ROHS3).

Q: Are there any packaging or assembly differences between the 113EPC and 113EPCX?

A: Both parts include identical packaging: 1 Connector, 1 Nut, and 1 Washer per unit. No assembly or installation procedure differences exist between the two parts.

Q: What is the panel hole size requirement for installation?

A: The panel hole size for both the 113EPC and 113EPCX is 0.375" (9.52mm) with a 3/8"-32 thread size. This specification must be observed during PCB or panel design to ensure proper fit and mechanical stability.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 113EPC and 113EPCX operate across the identical temperature range of -20°C to 65°C, making them suitable for equivalent environmental applications.
