Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0484060004 is determined by strict adherence to the following core parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A), Stacked
• Number of Contacts: 18
• Gender: Receptacle
• Specifications: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.1 Gen 1, Superspeed USB 3.0)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Number of Ports: 2
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Finish: Gold

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current Rating: Minimum 1.8A (primary signal current)
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 30VAC/DC
• Mating Cycles: Minimum 5000
• Operating Temperature: May extend beyond -20°C ~ 85°C range
• Shell/Shielding Material: Steel, Stainless, Copper Alloy, or Brass
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 HB or UL94 V-0
• Insulation Color: Blue (as specified)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (required)

All seven substitute parts listed meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the original Molex 0484060004.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation for New Designs: Molex 0484060001 or Molex 0484060003 are preferred substitutes as they maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the original 0484060004 while offering active product status and superior inventory availability (6185 and 1079 pieces respectively). Both parts are from the same manufacturer series (48406) and packaging format (Tray), ensuring design continuity.

Alternative Selections Based on Availability and Compliance:

Würth Elektronik 692141030100 (WR-COM series) is an active product with 2341 pieces in stock. This part meets all critical parameters and extends the operating temperature range to -40°C ~ 85°C. Material flammability rating is UL94 V-0, exceeding the original HB specification.

Stewart Connector SS-52000-003 provides 4032 pieces in stock with active product status. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Kycon KUSBX-AS2N9-1-BL30 (KUSBX series) offers 2383 pieces in stock with active status and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). Material flammability rating is UL94 V-0.

Assmann WSW Components A-USB3 A-2P provides 4124 pieces in stock with active product status and full parameter compliance.

Amphenol ICC GSB3112311HR (GSB series) is active with 1239 pieces available. Operating temperature extends to -40°C ~ 85°C with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

TE Connectivity 1932355-1 is obsolete but maintains full parameter compatibility with extended operating temperature (-55°C ~ 105°C) and higher voltage rating (100VAC/DC). This part is suitable only for legacy system maintenance with 750 pieces in stock.

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected or REACH Unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for new product designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0484060001 directly replace the 0484060004 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0484060001 is a parametric equivalent with identical connector type, contact count, USB specification, mounting configuration, and electrical ratings. The primary difference is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging format (Tray vs. unspecified). Both parts are from the same Molex 48406 series.

Q: What is the difference between the Molex variants (0484060001, 0484060003, 0484060004)?

A: All three Molex parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 0484060004 is obsolete, while 0484060001 and 0484060003 are active products. Inventory levels differ: 0484060001 has 6185 pieces, 0484060003 has 1079 pieces, and 0484060004 has 811 pieces. Selection should prioritize active products for new designs.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from Molex to other manufacturers?

A: No. All listed substitute parts meet the critical parameters: USB-A stacked receptacle, 18 contacts, USB 3.2 Gen 1 specification, through-hole right-angle mounting, horizontal orientation, solder termination, 2 ports, shielded construction, and gold contact finish. Mechanical and electrical interchangeability is guaranteed within these specifications.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: TE Connectivity 1932355-1 provides the widest range at -55°C ~ 105°C, compared to the original -20°C ~ 85°C. However, this part is obsolete. Among active products, Würth Elektronik 692141030100, Kycon KUSBX-AS2N9-1-BL30, Amphenol GSB3112311HR, and TE Connectivity 1932355-1 extend to -40°C ~ 85°C.

Q: What is the significance of the flammability rating differences (UL94 HB vs. UL94 V-0)?

A: UL94 V-0 represents a higher flammability classification than UL94 HB. Parts with UL94 V-0 rating (Würth Elektronik, Amphenol, Kycon, Stewart Connector) provide enhanced flame resistance. This is an allowable parameter variation that does not compromise substitution eligibility.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tray vs. unspecified) is a logistics consideration only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All parts function identically in circuit applications.

Q: Which substitute has the highest current rating specification?

A: Molex 0484060001, Molex 0484060003, TE Connectivity 1932355-1, Würth Elektronik 692141030100, and Assmann A-USB3 A-2P all specify 0.25A and 1.8A current ratings. Kycon KUSBX-AS2N9-1-BL30 specifies 1.8A. Amphenol GSB3112311HR and Stewart SS-52000-003 do not specify current ratings in available documentation.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All nine parts listed (including the original Molex 0484060004) carry ROHS3 Compliant status, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What inventory considerations should guide part selection?

A: For immediate availability, Stewart Connector SS-52000-003 offers the highest inventory (4032 pieces), followed by Assmann A-USB3 A-2P (4124 pieces) and Molex 0484060001 (6185 pieces). For long-term supply chain stability, prioritize active products: Molex 0484060001, Molex 0484060003, Würth Elektronik 692141030100, Assmann A-USB3 A-2P, Amphenol GSB3112311HR, Kycon KUSBX-AS2N9-1-BL30, and Stewart Connector SS-52000-003.
