Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the BPJF03 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Phono (RCA) Jack, mono configuration
• Mating diameter: 3.20mm ID, 9.00mm OD (RCA standard)
• Gender: Female
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount
• Termination method: Solder eyelet(s)
• Contact material and plating: Nickel-plated brass
• Number of contacts: 2 conductors, 2 contacts
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Panel hole size: 0.402" (10.20mm)
• Thread size: 1/4"-32

The BPJF03X qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical specifications across all these parameters. Both parts are manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and share the same base product number designation, confirming their functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BPJF03X is a direct functional equivalent to the BPJF03 and is suitable for substitution in all applications where the BPJF03 is specified. Both parts share identical connector specifications and are manufactured by the same supplier.

The BPJF03X carries Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

The BPJF03X is supplied in bulk packaging, which may affect procurement workflows compared to alternative packaging configurations. Verify packaging requirements against your assembly and inventory management procedures before finalizing part selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BPJF03X be used as a direct replacement for BPJF03?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical mono RCA jack connectors with 3.20mm ID, 9.00mm OD mating diameter, panel mount configuration, and solder eyelet termination. They share the same base product number and are manufactured by Switchcraft Inc.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: connector type (Phono RCA Jack), gender (Female), signal configuration (Mono), mating diameter (3.20mm ID, 9.00mm OD), mounting type (Panel Mount), termination method (Solder Eyelet), contact material (Nickel-plated brass), and contact count (2 conductors, 2 contacts).

Q: Does packaging type affect electrical or mechanical compatibility?

A: No. The BPJF03X is supplied in bulk packaging, which is a procurement and logistics consideration only. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical regardless of packaging configuration.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: The BPJF03X is certified ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Verify that your application requirements align with these certifications before part selection.

Q: What is the panel hole size and thread specification for installation?

A: The panel hole size is 0.402" (10.20mm) with a 1/4"-32 thread size. These specifications apply to both the BPJF03 and BPJF03X.
