SJ-3514 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The SJ-3514 is a 4.6mm stereo barrel connector (phone jack) manufactured by CUI Devices, designed for headphone and audio applications. This right-angle, panel-mount connector features three conductors (TRS configuration) with solder eyelet termination. The part is currently in active production with 891 units in stock.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required, or when sourcing from different inventory locations is needed to meet project timelines and supply chain requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SJ-3514 has one direct substitute part: SJ1-3514. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector type and gender (Phone Jack, Female)
• Mating diameter (4.60mm stereo mini plug)
• Signal configuration (3 Conductor, TRS stereo)
• Contact count (3 Conductors, 4 Contacts)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder Eyelet)
• Electrical ratings (12VDC, 1A)
• Temperature operating range (-25°C ~ 85°C)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The SJ1-3514 maintains all these parameters while offering alternative packaging (Tray format) and increased inventory availability (3120 units in stock).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SJ-3514 and SJ1-3514 are active production parts from CUI Devices with identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer audio applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability. The SJ1-3514 offers significantly higher stock levels (3120 units versus 891 units) and is supplied in Tray packaging, which may be advantageous for high-volume production runs or just-in-time supply chain management. The SJ-3514 maintains standard packaging and adequate inventory for typical project requirements.

Both parts are functionally and mechanically interchangeable for all 4.6mm stereo jack applications requiring panel-mount, right-angle configuration with solder eyelet termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SJ1-3514 be used as a direct replacement for SJ-3514?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by CUI Devices and share identical electrical ratings (12VDC, 1A), mechanical configuration (4.6mm stereo, panel mount, right angle), contact arrangement (3 Conductor TRS), termination method (solder eyelet), and operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C). The only difference is packaging format and inventory quantity.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the SJ-3514?

A: A substitute part must maintain the following specifications: 4.6mm stereo mating diameter, female phone jack connector type, 3-conductor TRS signal configuration, panel-mount right-angle orientation, solder eyelet termination, 12VDC/1A electrical ratings, and -25°C to 85°C operating temperature. Deviation in any of these parameters disqualifies a part from substitution.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Tray packaging (SJ1-3514) and standard packaging (SJ-3514) contain identical components. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and supply chain logistics, not connector performance or specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SJ-3514 and SJ1-3514 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for EU and international markets.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: The SJ1-3514 is recommended for high-volume applications due to superior inventory availability (3120 units in stock) and Tray packaging format, which streamlines automated assembly processes and reduces handling time.
