Switchcraft N113B Barrel Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Switchcraft N113B is a 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4") stereo headphone jack connector designed for panel mount applications. This female connector features three conductors (TRS configuration) with solder eyelet termination and is part of the Hi-D® NL11 series. The N113B is currently active in production with 673 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to packaging preferences, inventory availability, or specific application requirements where bulk packaging is preferred.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The N113B and its substitute N113BX are functionally equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine substitutability:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Signal configuration: Stereo (3 Conductor, TRS)
• Mating diameter: 6.35mm (0.250", 1/4")
• Number of contacts: 3 Conductors, 4 Contacts
• Voltage rating: 48VDC
• Current rating: 250 mA

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type: Phone Jack (Female)
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Through Hole
• Termination method: Solder Eyelet(s)
• Panel hole size: 0.375" (9.52mm)
• Thread size: 3/8"-32

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -20°C ~ 65°C
• RoHS3 Compliance
• REACH Unaffected status

The primary difference between N113B and N113BX is packaging configuration (standard vs. bulk), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both N113B and N113BX are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for current design implementations. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

N113B is appropriate for standard packaging applications with moderate volume requirements.

N113BX is appropriate for bulk packaging applications or high-volume procurement where larger inventory quantities are available.

Both parts meet identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications and are directly interchangeable at the circuit board and panel mount level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can N113BX be used as a direct replacement for N113B? A: Yes. N113BX is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent of N113B. All critical parameters including connector type, signal configuration, mating diameter, contact count, mounting specifications, voltage rating, current rating, and operating temperature range are identical.

Q: What is the difference between N113B and N113BX? A: The primary difference is packaging configuration. N113B uses standard packaging while N113BX uses bulk packaging. This distinction does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or functional characteristics.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both N113B and N113BX are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the panel hole size requirement for installation? A: Both connectors require a 0.375" (9.52mm) panel hole size with 3/8"-32 thread specification for panel mount installation.

Q: What termination method is used for these connectors? A: Both N113B and N113BX use solder eyelet termination for circuit board connection.

Q: What is the maximum current rating for these connectors? A: Both connectors are rated for 250 mA maximum current at 48VDC.
