Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of part number 320010018 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: USB-B (USB TYPE-B)
• Number of Contacts: 4 positions
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Lock

All identified substitute parts meet these core requirements. Secondary parameters including operating temperature range, current rating, mating cycles, contact finish, and shell material are provided where available but do not restrict substitution eligibility. The substitute parts AU-Y1007-2, A-USBSB, USB-B-S-F-W-TH, and USB-B-S-S-B-TH are all active products with current manufacturing status, addressing the obsolescence of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts (AU-Y1007-2, A-USBSB, USB-B-S-F-W-TH, USB-B-S-S-B-TH) are functionally equivalent to the obsolete 320010018 based on core mechanical and electrical parameters. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

Compliance and Certification: All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, meeting the regulatory requirements of the original component. The Assmann parts (AU-Y1007-2 and A-USBSB) include REACH Unaffected status documentation.

Product Availability and Status: All substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status. AU-Y1007-2 offers the highest inventory availability (37,116 pcs), followed by USB-B-S-F-W-TH (2,480 pcs) and USB-B-S-S-B-TH (2,110 pcs), with A-USBSB at 742 pcs.

Thermal Operating Range: Assmann parts (AU-Y1007-2 and A-USBSB) support -55°C to 85°C operation, providing extended low-temperature capability compared to Samtec parts (-50°C to 85°C). Selection depends on application thermal requirements.

Current Rating: Assmann parts specify 1.5A current rating. Samtec parts do not specify current rating in provided documentation. For applications requiring explicit current specification, Assmann alternatives are preferred.

Shell Material Variations: AU-Y1007-2 uses brass shell material, A-USBSB uses copper alloy, and both Samtec parts use steel. Material selection may influence electromagnetic shielding characteristics and mechanical durability in specific applications.

Insulation Color: USB-B-S-S-B-TH features black insulation, while all other alternatives use white insulation. This distinction is cosmetic and does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 320010018 be directly replaced with any of the substitute parts?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts (AU-Y1007-2, A-USBSB, USB-B-S-F-W-TH, USB-B-S-S-B-TH) meet the core substitution criteria: USB-B receptacle, 4-position, through-hole right-angle mounting with board lock, solder termination, and horizontal mounting feature. Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is supported.

Q: What is the primary reason for identifying substitutes for 320010018?

A: Part 320010018 is classified as obsolete. Substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status and ongoing availability, ensuring design continuity and procurement reliability.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges among the substitutes?

A: Yes. Assmann parts (AU-Y1007-2 and A-USBSB) operate from -55°C to 85°C, while Samtec parts (USB-B-S-F-W-TH and USB-B-S-S-B-TH) operate from -50°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -50°C should specify Assmann alternatives.

Q: Do all substitute parts support the same current rating?

A: Assmann parts specify 1.5A current rating. Samtec parts do not provide current rating specifications in available documentation. For applications with explicit current requirements, Assmann parts provide documented specifications.

Q: What is the significance of shell material differences?

A: Shell materials vary among substitutes: brass (AU-Y1007-2), copper alloy (A-USBSB), and steel (USB-B-S-F-W-TH and USB-B-S-S-B-TH). Material selection may influence electromagnetic shielding performance and mechanical durability. Selection should align with application-specific requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. The original part 320010018 is RoHS compliant, and all substitutes maintain or exceed this compliance level.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: AU-Y1007-2 and A-USBSB are supplied in Tray packaging. USB-B-S-F-W-TH and USB-B-S-S-B-TH are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection may influence procurement and handling procedures.

Q: Do all parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. All parts, including the original 320010018 and all four substitutes, have MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: AU-Y1007-2 from Assmann WSW Components offers the highest inventory availability at 37,116 pcs in stock, providing the most immediate procurement option.
