Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for USB adapter connectors is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector Type Conversion: USB-A plug to USB-B receptacle configuration
• Mounting Configuration: Free hanging (in-line) form factor
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL rating of 1 or lower

The substitute part A-USB-3 (Assmann WSW Components) meets all substitution criteria. It maintains identical connector type conversion, mounting type, and environmental specifications. The substitute carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance, providing continuity for applications requiring this adapter configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
