Switchcraft N113 6.35mm Mono Phone Jack Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Switchcraft N113 is a 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") mono headphone phone jack connector designed for panel mount, through-hole applications. This connector features a female gender configuration with solder eyelet termination and includes mounting hardware with thread lock. The N113 is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The N113X qualifies as a direct substitute for the N113 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical mating diameter: 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") headphone jack
• Matching signal configuration: Mono
• Identical gender: Female
• Identical contact configuration: 2 Conductors, 4 Contacts
• Identical mounting type: Panel Mount, Through Hole
• Identical termination method: Solder Eyelet(s)
• Identical internal switch configuration: Single Switch
• Matching electrical ratings: 48VDC, 250 mA
• Identical operating temperature range: -20°C ~ 65°C
• Identical mechanical dimensions: Panel hole size 0.375" (9.52mm), thread size 3/8"-32

The N113X belongs to the Hi-D® N11 series and maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the N113 (Hi-D® NL11 series).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The N113X is the direct substitute for the obsolete N113. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the N113 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the N113X is active and ROHS3 compliant. For new designs or component replenishment, the N113X should be selected to ensure ongoing availability and regulatory compliance with current environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the N113X be used as a direct replacement for the N113 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The N113X provides full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the N113. All critical parameters—mating diameter, signal configuration, contact arrangement, mounting type, termination method, electrical ratings, and operating temperature range—are identical between the two connectors.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from N113 to N113X?

A: The N113 is classified as obsolete, making long-term procurement difficult. The N113X is an active product from the same manufacturer (Switchcraft Inc.) with identical specifications. Additionally, the N113X is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the N113 is RoHS non-compliant, aligning with current environmental regulations.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between N113 and N113X?

A: The N113 is supplied in standard packaging, while the N113X is supplied in bulk packaging. Both include the same connector components: 1 connector, 1 nut, and 1 washer per unit.

Q: Do the N113 and N113X have different series designations?

A: Yes. The N113 belongs to the Hi-D® NL11 series, while the N113X belongs to the Hi-D® N11 series. Despite different series designations, both connectors maintain full compatibility across all mechanical and electrical parameters.

Q: What are the key mechanical dimensions for panel mounting?

A: Both connectors require a panel hole size of 0.375" (9.52mm) and use a 3/8"-32 thread size for mounting. The mating diameter is 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4").
