53-P04C-A2S-YG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 53-P04C-A2S-YG is a USB Type-A receptacle connector manufactured by 3M, designed for vertical through-hole mounting applications. This connector provides a single USB 2.0 interface for data and power transmission in electronic assemblies requiring standard USB connectivity.

The primary substitute for this connector is the 73725-0110BLF from Amphenol ICC (FCI), which maintains functional compatibility through equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitute parts are identified when they satisfy the core operational parameters of the original component while meeting industry standards and compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 53-P04C-A2S-YG is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle configuration
• Number of Contacts: 4-position contact arrangement
• Gender: Receptacle (female) connector
• Mounting Type: Through-hole technology with vertical orientation
• Electrical Specification: USB 2.0 compliance
• Termination Method: Solder attachment to PCB

The 73725-0110BLF satisfies all substitution criteria through equivalent specifications in these core parameters. While the 73725-0110BLF features right-angle mounting with a flag termination feature (versus the vertical orientation of the original), both connectors maintain functional compatibility for USB 2.0 applications requiring 4-position receptacle connectivity through PCB mounting.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 73725-0110BLF is an active product from Amphenol ICC (FCI) with RoHS compliance certification, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic component applications. This substitute maintains USB 2.0 functional compatibility and 4-position receptacle configuration equivalent to the 53-P04C-A2S-YG.

Selection between the original and substitute part should be based on:

• Mounting Orientation Requirements: The 73725-0110BLF features right-angle mounting with flag termination, whereas the 53-P04C-A2S-YG is specified for vertical through-hole mounting. PCB layout and connector accessibility requirements determine which orientation is appropriate.
• Compliance Status: The 73725-0110BLF carries active product status and documented RoHS compliance, suitable for applications requiring regulatory certification.
• Availability: The 73725-0110BLF has higher inventory availability (1580 Pcs) compared to the 53-P04C-A2S-YG (965 Pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 73725-0110BLF directly replace the 53-P04C-A2S-YG in all applications?

A: Both connectors share USB 2.0 receptacle functionality with 4-position contact configuration. The primary difference is mounting orientation: the 73725-0110BLF uses right-angle mounting with flag termination, while the 53-P04C-A2S-YG is specified for vertical through-hole mounting. Substitution is valid only when PCB layout accommodates the right-angle orientation.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters for USB 2.0 receptacle compatibility?

A: USB 2.0 receptacle connectors must maintain 4-position contact configuration, receptacle gender, and solder termination capability. The 73725-0110BLF meets these specifications with a 2.5A current rating and shielded construction.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 73725-0110BLF carries documented RoHS compliance and active product status. Compliance information for the 53-P04C-A2S-YG is not provided in the source data.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging specification?

A: The 73725-0110BLF is supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for through-hole connector distribution. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: How do mating cycle ratings affect component selection?

A: The 73725-0110BLF specifies 1500 mating cycles, indicating the connector's rated durability for repeated connection and disconnection cycles. This specification is not provided for the 53-P04C-A2S-YG.
