Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Switchcraft N111PC barrel connector are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector type: Phone Jack (Mono)
• Mating diameter: 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4")
• Gender: Female
• Signal configuration: Mono (2 Conductors, 2 Contacts)
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Voltage rating: 48VDC minimum
• Current rating: 250 mA minimum
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to 65°C minimum
• Panel hole size: 0.375" (9.52mm)
• Thread size: 3/8"-32
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Contact plating: Tin
• Housing material: Polyester, Glass Filled
• Contact material: Brass
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The Switchcraft N111PCX meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent substitute for the N111PC.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the N111PC and N111PCX are active products manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. The N111PCX is electrically and mechanically identical to the N111PC, with matching electrical ratings, dimensional specifications, and material composition. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 6.35mm mono headphone jack connectors with panel mount, through-hole solder termination.

Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The N111PC currently maintains 697 units in stock, while the N111PCX has 668 units available. Both parts are classified as active products with no known discontinuation plans.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the N111PCX be used as a direct replacement for the N111PC?

A: Yes. The N111PCX is a direct equivalent substitute. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (48VDC, 250 mA), mechanical dimensions (6.35mm mating diameter, 3/8"-32 thread), mounting configuration (panel mount, through hole), and material composition (brass contacts with tin plating, polyester glass-filled housing). No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching connector type (phone jack, mono), mating diameter (6.35mm), gender (female), signal configuration (2 conductors, 2 contacts), mounting type (panel mount, through hole), termination method (solder), electrical ratings (48VDC, 250 mA), operating temperature range (-20°C to 65°C), panel hole size (0.375"), thread size (3/8"-32), and material specifications (brass contacts, tin plating, polyester glass-filled housing).

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

A: No. Both the N111PC and N111PCX are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical regulatory status. Both parts are unaffected by REACH regulations and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Q: What is included with each connector?

A: Each connector includes three components: one connector body, one mounting nut, and one washer. These components are standard for panel mount installation.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both connectors operate within the temperature range of -20°C to 65°C, suitable for standard indoor audio equipment and consumer electronics applications.
