Switchcraft 113F Barrel Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Switchcraft 113F is a 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") stereo headphone jack connector designed for panel mount applications. This female connector features three conductors (TRS configuration) with solder eyelet termination, commonly used in audio equipment, telecommunications, and instrumentation applications. The part is currently active in production with 892 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or packaging specifications necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Switchcraft 113F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Female phone jack configuration
• Signal Configuration: Stereo (3 Conductor, TRS) only
• Mating Diameter: 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") headphone standard
• Contact Count: 3 Conductors, 4 Contacts
• Mounting Configuration: Panel Mount, Through Hole
• Termination Method: Solder Eyelet(s)
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 48VDC voltage rating and 3 A current capacity
• Operating Temperature: -20°C ~ 65°C range
• Manufacturer: Switchcraft Inc.
• Series Compatibility: Hi-D® 11* series

The substitute part 113BX meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent. Differences in packaging format (Bulk vs. standard) and inventory levels do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 113F and 113BX are active production parts manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. within the Hi-D® 11* series. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Primary Selection (113F): Use when standard packaging is required or when existing inventory meets project timelines and quantities.

Substitute Selection (113BX): Use when bulk packaging is acceptable, higher inventory availability is advantageous, or when lead time optimization is necessary. The 113BX provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with ROHS3 compliance certification.

Both parts meet the same electrical specifications (48VDC, 3 A) and operate within the identical temperature range (-20°C ~ 65°C). The mechanical interface, including panel hole size (0.375", 9.52mm) and thread size (3/8"-32), is identical. No design modifications or additional validation is required when substituting between these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, mounting configuration, and termination method. The 113BX is a direct substitute with no design changes required.

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

A: The primary difference is packaging format. The 113F uses standard packaging, while the 113BX is supplied in bulk packaging. Functionally and electrically, both parts are equivalent.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with panel mounting?

A: No. Both parts use identical panel mount specifications: 0.375" (9.52mm) hole size and 3/8"-32 thread size. Installation procedures and mechanical fit are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. The 113BX is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts are active production items from Switchcraft Inc.

Q: What is the maximum current and voltage these connectors can handle?

A: Both parts are rated for 48VDC maximum voltage and 3 A maximum current. These ratings apply to the 113F and 113BX equally.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts operate within the temperature range of -20°C to 65°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector selection.

Q: Is the internal switch configuration identical between both parts?

A: The 113BX includes a single internal switch. The 113F specification does not detail switch configuration, but both parts maintain identical TRS (3 Conductor) signal path functionality.

Q: What termination method is used for both connectors?

A: Both the 113F and 113BX use solder eyelet termination, suitable for direct PCB or wire soldering applications.
