TE Connectivity 1-292303-2 USB-A Receptacle Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-292303-2 is an active USB-A (USB TYPE-A) USB 2.0 receptacle connector designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This 4-position connector features solder termination, board lock functionality, and shielded construction with gold or gold-palladium contact finish. The connector is rated for 1A per contact at 30VAC with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C and supports 1500 mating cycles. Finding equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to address inventory availability, packaging requirements, compliance updates, and alternative sourcing options while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 1-292303-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (USB-A receptacle), USB 2.0 specification compliance, 4-position contact configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting orientation, solder termination method, shielded construction, 1500 mating cycle rating, 30VAC voltage rating, UL94 V-0 flammability classification, and RoHS compliance status.

The substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in packaging format (bulk versus tube), insulation color, contact finish material composition, shell material composition, and specific RoHS revision level (RoHS versus ROHS3) do not affect functional interchangeability when these core parameters remain constant. Operating temperature range and current rating specifications must remain within or equal to the original part specifications to ensure substitution validity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 292303-4: This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part 1-292303-2 with equivalent RoHS compliance status. The 292303-4 is supplied in bulk packaging and offers the highest inventory availability (3826 units). Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications requiring standard bulk packaging with no packaging format constraints.

TE Connectivity 292303-5: This part is functionally equivalent to the main part with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is tube packaging format rather than bulk. The insulation color differs (natural versus black), which does not affect electrical performance. This substitute is appropriate for applications where tube packaging is required or preferred for component handling and storage. Inventory availability is 1322 units.

TE Connectivity 292303-6: This part maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the main part 1-292303-2 with updated ROHS3 compliance status. The 292303-6 is supplied in bulk packaging and offers the highest inventory availability among TE Connectivity options (6580 units). Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications requiring current RoHS3 compliance certification and standard bulk packaging.

Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH: This part is a cross-manufacturer substitute from Samtec Inc. that maintains USB 2.0 specification compliance, 4-position receptacle configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, board lock feature, shielded construction, 1500 mating cycle rating, and 30VAC voltage rating. The operating temperature range is -50°C to 85°C (narrower lower bound than the main part at -55°C). The current rating is not specified in available documentation. Shell material is brass rather than stainless steel. Contact finish is gold only. Insulation color is white. This substitute is appropriate for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable and the operating temperature range of -50°C to 85°C is sufficient. Inventory availability is 3996 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 292303-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-292303-2?

A: Yes. The 292303-4 maintains identical electrical specifications (USB 2.0, 4-position, 1A per contact, 30VAC rating), mechanical configuration (through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, board lock), operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C), mating cycle rating (1500), shielding type, flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and RoHS compliance status. The parts are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the 292303-5 and other TE Connectivity substitutes?

A: The 292303-5 differs in packaging format (tube instead of bulk) and insulation color (natural instead of black). All electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical to the main part. Tube packaging is suitable for applications requiring individual component handling or specific packaging requirements.

Q: Is the Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH suitable for all applications using the 1-292303-2?

A: The Samtec part maintains USB 2.0 compliance, 4-position receptacle configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, board lock feature, shielded construction, 1500 mating cycles, and 30VAC rating. However, the operating temperature range is -50°C to 85°C, which has a higher lower temperature limit than the original part (-55°C). Applications requiring operation below -50°C require the original part or TE Connectivity substitutes. The current rating for the Samtec part is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: The 1-292303-2, 292303-4, and 292303-6 are supplied in bulk packaging. The 292303-5 is supplied in tube packaging. Bulk packaging is standard for high-volume applications, while tube packaging is suitable for component handling and storage in applications requiring individual unit management.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1-292303-2 is RoHS Compliant. The 292303-4 and 292303-5 are REACH Unaffected. The 292303-6 and Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH are ROHS3 Compliant. All parts meet RoHS compliance requirements for their respective regulatory frameworks.

Q: What is the difference in shell material between the TE Connectivity and Samtec parts?

A: TE Connectivity parts (1-292303-2, 292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6) use steel stainless shell and shielding material. The Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH uses brass shell material. Both materials provide shielded construction and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Material selection does not affect USB 2.0 electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can insulation color differences affect connector performance?

A: No. Insulation color (black, natural, or white) is a cosmetic and identification feature only. It does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or functional interchangeability of USB-A receptacle connectors.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute?

A: 1-292303-2: 733 units; 292303-4: 3826 units; 292303-5: 1322 units; 292303-6: 6580 units; USB-A-S-F-W-TH: 3996 units. Inventory levels determine availability for immediate sourcing requirements.
