MN114BPC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MN114BPC is a 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") stereo headphone jack connector manufactured by Switchcraft Inc., designed for panel mount, through-hole solder applications. This connector features three conductors (TRS configuration) with five total contacts and includes integrated switching functionality. The part is actively produced and maintained in inventory, with 816 units currently available as new original stock.

Alternative models become necessary when specific packaging requirements, inventory constraints, or supply chain considerations require substitution while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MN114BPC and MN114BPCX are direct equivalents within the Hi-D JAX® MN-11* series. Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across all critical parameters: connector type, gender, mating diameter, signal configuration, contact count, mounting methodology, termination type, switching configuration, contact material specifications, and housing characteristics.

The MN114BPCX qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical specifications across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The sole distinction between these parts is packaging format: MN114BPC is supplied in standard packaging, while MN114BPCX is supplied in bulk packaging. This packaging difference does not affect connector performance, compatibility, or application suitability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MN114BPC and MN114BPCX are active products manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and inventory requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance considerations.

The MN114BPC is appropriate for applications requiring standard packaging configuration. The MN114BPCX is appropriate for high-volume applications or situations where bulk packaging reduces material handling costs. Both parts deliver identical connector performance and are suitable for direct substitution in any application designed for the MN114BPC.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MN114BPCX be used as a direct replacement for MN114BPC?

A: Yes. The MN114BPCX is a direct equivalent substitute. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The only difference is packaging format (bulk versus standard).

Q: What determines compatibility between MN114BPC and MN114BPCX?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching specifications across connector type, gender, mating diameter, signal configuration, contact count, mounting type, termination method, switching configuration, contact material, and housing material. Both parts match on all these parameters.

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

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status and are manufactured to the same specifications by Switchcraft Inc.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format is a supply chain consideration only and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or application suitability.

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

A: The panel hole size is 0.375" (9.52mm) with a 3/8"-32 thread size for both MN114BPC and MN114BPCX.
