SL414F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SL414F is a 4-position circular connector receptacle manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. as part of the Slim-Line® SL41 series. This female socket connector features solder eyelet termination, shielding, and is rated for 5A current with applications in audio, industrial, marine, and medical environments. The SL414F is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SL414FX qualifies as a direct substitute for the SL414F based on strict parameter equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share identical connector architecture, position count, shell size, termination method, fastening type, orientation, material composition, and current rating. The substitution is valid because all allowed parameters for circular connector receptacles—including shell material, finish specifications, contact materials, shielding configuration, and cable opening dimensions—are identical between the two parts.

The primary distinction between SL414F and SL414FX is product status and compliance posture: SL414F is obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status, while SL414FX is active and ROHS3 compliant. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but reflects manufacturing and regulatory updates within the Slim-Line® SL41 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SL414FX is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete SL414F. Selection of SL414FX is supported by complete parameter equivalence across all electrical and mechanical specifications that define connector compatibility. The SL414FX additionally provides ROHS3 compliance, aligning with current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in industrial, medical, and marine applications.

For applications requiring RoHS non-compliant components, the SL414F remains available in existing inventory (1087 pcs). For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance, SL414FX is the appropriate selection, with 1014 pcs available in bulk packaging.
