M112BPC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M112BPC is a 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") stereo headphone jack connector manufactured by Switchcraft Inc., designed for panel-mount, through-hole applications with solder termination. This connector features three conductors (TRS configuration) and is part of the Hi-D JAX® M-11* series. The M112BPC is currently in active production with 964 units available in new original stock. Finding equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain continuity, optimize procurement timelines, and maintain design flexibility across manufacturing batches.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the M112BPC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Phone Jack, Female configuration
• Signal Architecture: Stereo (3 Conductor, TRS) only
• Mating Diameter: 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") headphone standard
• Contact Count: 3 Conductors, 3 Contacts
• Mounting Configuration: Panel Mount, Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Electrical Ratings: 48VDC, 250 mA minimum
• Temperature Range: -20°C ~ 65°C minimum
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The M112BPCX qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters while differing only in packaging (Bulk vs. standard packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both M112BPC and M112BPCX are active production components manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and inventory requirements:

• M112BPC: Use when standard packaging is required or when inventory allocation specifies this packaging configuration. Current stock: 964 units.
• M112BPCX: Use for bulk procurement applications or when higher inventory availability is prioritized. Current stock: 1196 units.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical and are fully interchangeable in all 6.35mm stereo headphone jack applications requiring panel-mount, through-hole solder termination with 3-conductor TRS configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M112BPCX be used as a direct replacement for M112BPC?

A: Yes. M112BPCX is a direct substitute for M112BPC. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, signal configuration, mating diameter, contact count, mounting type, termination method, voltage rating, current rating, and operating temperature range. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. standard).

Q: What determines compatibility between M112BPC and its substitutes?

A: Compatibility is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters: 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") mating diameter, stereo (3 Conductor, TRS) signal configuration, female gender, panel-mount through-hole mounting, solder termination, 48VDC voltage rating, 250 mA current rating, and -20°C ~ 65°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between M112BPC and M112BPCX?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance status and are manufactured to the same specifications by Switchcraft Inc.

Q: Does packaging affect the electrical or mechanical performance of these connectors?

A: No. Packaging format (standard vs. bulk) does not affect connector performance, specifications, or interchangeability. Selection should be based solely on procurement and inventory management requirements.

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

A: The panel hole size is 0.375" (9.52mm) with a thread size of 3/8"-32 for both M112BPC and M112BPCX.
