Switchcraft N112APC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Switchcraft N112APC is a 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") mono headphone phone jack connector designed for panel mount, through-hole solder applications. This barrel connector is part of the Hi-D® NL11 series and serves as a standard audio interface component in professional and consumer audio equipment. The part is currently in active production with 1087 units available in new original stock.

Substitute parts are identified when they maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility across critical parameters including connector type, gender, signal configuration, mating diameter, contact count, mounting method, and termination type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The N112APC and its identified substitute N112APCX are classified as direct equivalents based on matching specifications across all critical substitution parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Phone Jack)
• Gender (Female)
• Signal lines (Mono)
• Contact configuration (2 Conductors, 3 Contacts)
• Voltage rating (48VDC)
• Current rating (250 mA)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mating diameter (6.35mm / 0.250")
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Panel hole size (0.375" / 9.52mm)
• Thread size (3/8"-32)

Material & Environmental Parameters:

• Contact material plating (Tin)
• Housing material (Polyester, Glass Filled)
• Contact material (Brass)
• Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 65°C)
• RoHS3 compliance status

Both parts maintain identical functional specifications and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 6.35mm mono headphone jack connectors with panel mount solder termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the N112APC and N112APCX are active production parts manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

N112APC Selection: Choose this part when standard packaging requirements are met and the specific part number is called out in design documentation or procurement specifications.

N112APCX Selection: Choose this part when bulk packaging is acceptable for manufacturing or assembly operations. The higher inventory level (2884 units versus 1087 units) may provide supply chain advantages for high-volume production runs.

Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications and are suitable for direct substitution in 6.35mm mono headphone jack applications requiring panel mount solder termination at 48VDC, 250 mA operation within the -20°C to 65°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can N112APCX be used as a direct replacement for N112APC?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, gender, signal configuration, mating diameter, contact count, mounting type, termination method, voltage rating, current rating, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between N112APC and N112APCX?

A: The primary difference is packaging. N112APC is supplied in standard packaging, while N112APCX is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting N112APCX for N112APC?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts feature identical panel hole size (0.375" / 9.52mm), thread size (3/8"-32), contact material (brass with tin plating), housing material (polyester, glass filled), and all electrical ratings.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both N112APC and N112APCX are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4030) classifications.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: These 6.35mm mono headphone jack connectors are designed for professional and consumer audio equipment requiring panel mount, through-hole solder termination at 48VDC, 250 mA operation within the -20°C to 65°C temperature range.

Q: Are there any internal switch differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts feature a single internal switch configuration identical in design and function.
