S112BPC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The S112BPC is a 5.23mm stereo phone jack connector manufactured by Switchcraft Inc., designed for panel mount, through-hole applications with solder termination. This Hi-D® series connector features three conductors (TRS configuration) and includes mounting hardware with thread lock. The part is currently obsolete, with 856 units available in original stock. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the S112BPC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and gender (Phone Jack, Female)
• Signal configuration (Stereo, 3 Conductor TRS)
• Mating diameter (5.23mm / 0.206")
• Contact count (3 Conductors, 3 Contacts)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Shielding characteristic (Unshielded)
• Contact and body materials (Nickel plating, Copper Alloy body)
• Housing material (Polyester, Glass Filled)

The S112BPCX meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute. Both parts belong to the Hi-D® S11* series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The S112BPCX is the direct substitute for the S112BPC. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance:

• S112BPC is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (856 units)
• S112BPCX is active production with higher availability (1307 units)
• S112BPCX achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas S112BPC is non-compliant

For new designs and ongoing procurement, S112BPCX is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where S112BPC is currently installed, S112BPCX provides direct functional equivalence with improved regulatory standing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can S112BPCX be used as a direct replacement for S112BPC in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, gender, signal configuration, mating diameter, contact count, mounting type, termination method, and material composition. S112BPCX is a direct substitute.

Q: What is the difference between S112BPC and S112BPCX?

A: The parts are functionally equivalent. S112BPC is obsolete; S112BPCX is active production. S112BPCX meets ROHS3 compliance standards, while S112BPC does not. Both are packaged identically with mounting hardware and thread lock features.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from S112BPC to S112BPCX?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The parts maintain identical panel hole sizing, thread specifications, solder termination characteristics, and physical dimensions. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What packaging is available for S112BPCX?

A: S112BPCX is supplied in bulk packaging. Each unit includes 3 pieces: 1 connector, 1 nut, and 1 washer.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating environments?

A: Both parts share identical material composition (Copper Alloy body with Nickel plating, Polyester Glass Filled housing) and unshielded configuration. Environmental suitability is equivalent between the two parts.
