Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Molex 0484080003 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle
• USB Specification: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.1 Gen 1, Superspeed USB 3.0)
• Number of Contacts: 9 Position
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Mounting Feature: Vertical
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Features: Board Lock

All four substitute parts (692121430000, GSB3121171CHR, USB1086-GF-B, SS-52000-004) meet these core criteria. Variations in operating temperature range, current rating, mating cycles, shell material composition, and flammability rating represent secondary parameter differences that do not affect basic functional substitution but may influence application-specific performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the Molex 0484080003. Selection among substitutes should be based on application-specific requirements:

Würth Elektronik 692121430000 provides identical operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 85°C) and current rating (0.25A, 1.8A) with matching mating cycle specification (5000 cycles). This part offers the closest parametric alignment to the original Molex connector.

Amphenol ICC GSB3121171CHR extends the operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 85°C, suitable for applications requiring enhanced cold-temperature performance. Mating cycle rating is reduced to 1500 cycles.

Stewart Connector SS-52000-004 features copper alloy shielding material and reduced mating cycle specification (1500 cycles). Operating temperature range is limited to -20°C ~ 80°C.

GCT USB1086-GF-B provides the highest mating cycle rating (20000 cycles) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), with elevated current rating (0.25A, 3A). This part is suitable for high-cycle insertion applications.

All substitute parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, exceeding the UL94 HB rating of the original Molex part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can these substitute parts be used interchangeably with the Molex 0484080003 in existing designs?

A: Yes, all four substitute parts share identical core specifications: USB-A receptacle connector, USB 3.2 Gen 1 support, 9-position through-hole vertical mount with solder termination, shielded construction, gold-plated contacts, and board lock features. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained across all substitutes.

Q: What are the key differences between the substitute parts?

A: Primary differences include operating temperature range, mating cycle endurance, current rating specifications, and shell material composition. The Würth 692121430000 provides the closest match to original specifications. The GCT USB1086-GF-B offers superior mating cycle performance (20000 cycles versus 5000). The Amphenol GSB3121171CHR extends cold-temperature operation to -55°C.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, matching the regulatory status of the Molex 0484080003.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for high-cycle insertion applications?

A: The GCT USB1086-GF-B is specified for 20000 mating cycles, providing four times the cycle endurance of the original Molex part and other substitutes rated at 5000 or 1500 cycles.

Q: Do all substitute parts support the same USB 3.0 data rates?

A: Yes, all substitute parts support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.1 Gen 1, Superspeed USB 3.0) specifications, ensuring equivalent data transmission capability.

Q: What is the significance of the flammability rating differences?

A: The Molex 0484080003 carries UL94 HB rating, while all substitute parts carry UL94 V-0 rating. UL94 V-0 represents a higher flammability classification, providing enhanced flame-retardant performance suitable for applications with stricter safety requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: All parts are supplied in tray packaging, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements.
