Switchcraft M114BPC Barrel Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Switchcraft M114BPC is a 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") stereo headphone jack connector designed for panel mount applications with solder termination. This connector features three conductors (TRS configuration) and is part of the Hi-D JAX® M-11* series. The M114BPC is currently in active production with 1,083 units available in new original stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory constraints, project-specific packaging requirements, or supply chain considerations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Switchcraft 113BPCX qualifies as a direct equivalent to the M114BPC based on the following critical substitution parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Both are female stereo phone jacks
• Signal Configuration: Both feature 3-conductor TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) configuration with 4 total contacts
• Mating Diameter: Both specify 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") headphone jack standard
• Mounting Architecture: Both are panel mount, through-hole designs
• Termination: Both use solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: Both support 48VDC and 3A current capacity
• Temperature Range: Both operate across -20°C to 65°C
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: the M114BPC 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® series family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the M114BPC 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:

M114BPC: Select when standard packaging is required for individual component handling, quality assurance documentation, or when inventory management systems require standard packaging formats.

113BPCX: Select when bulk packaging is acceptable for high-volume assembly operations, cost optimization is a priority, or when project specifications permit bulk component sourcing. The 113BPCX provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with identical compliance certifications.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 6.35mm stereo headphone jack connectors with panel mount solder termination and 48VDC/3A electrical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 113BPCX replace the M114BPC in production assemblies?

A: Yes. The 113BPCX is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the M114BPC. Both connectors feature identical mating diameter (6.35mm), signal configuration (3-conductor TRS), mounting type (panel mount through-hole), termination method (solder), and electrical ratings (48VDC, 3A). The only difference is packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between standard and bulk packaging for these connectors?

A: Standard packaging (M114BPC) typically includes individual connector packaging with mounting hardware (nut and washer). Bulk packaging (113BPCX) consolidates multiple units for high-volume applications. Both include the same hardware components (1 connector, 1 nut, 1 washer per unit).

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the M114BPC and 113BPCX are ROHS3 compliant and meet environmental regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution between these parts?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: connector type (phone jack), gender (female), signal configuration (3-conductor TRS), mating diameter (6.35mm), mounting type (panel mount through-hole), termination method (solder), and electrical ratings (48VDC, 3A). Both parts satisfy all these criteria.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in audio applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are designed for 6.35mm stereo headphone jack applications and feature identical TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) conductor configuration, making them suitable for audio signal routing in professional and consumer audio equipment.
