Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 690A104-223-021 is determined by strict alignment of the following core parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Number of Contacts: 4
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Lock
• Shielding: Shielded
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

All identified substitute parts (292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6, and USB-A-S-F-W-TH) meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in secondary parameters such as operating temperature range, current rating per contact, mating cycles, shell material composition, and insulation color do not preclude substitution when the critical parameters align. Packaging format (Bulk or Tube) represents a logistical variable and does not affect functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts (292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6, and USB-A-S-F-W-TH) are functionally equivalent to the 690A104-223-021 based on alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

Compliance and Certification: All parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. The 690A104-223-021, 292303-6, and USB-A-S-F-W-TH are ROHS3 Compliant. Parts 292303-4 and 292303-5 are RoHS Compliant. All parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8536.69.4040 HTSUS code.

Operating Temperature Considerations: The 690A104-223-021 operates from -40°C to 85°C. Substitute parts 292303-4, 292303-5, and 292303-6 extend the lower operating limit to -55°C. The USB-A-S-F-W-TH operates from -50°C to 85°C. Selection should align with application temperature requirements.

Current Rating: The 690A104-223-021 is rated at 1.5A. TE Connectivity parts (292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6) are rated at 1A per contact. The Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH does not specify current rating. Applications requiring 1.5A continuous current should confirm compatibility with substitute part ratings.

Packaging and Inventory: 292303-6 offers the highest inventory (6580 pieces) in Bulk packaging. 292303-4 provides 3826 pieces in Bulk. USB-A-S-F-W-TH provides 3996 pieces in Bulk. 292303-5 provides 1322 pieces in Tube packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Material Composition: The 690A104-223-021 and USB-A-S-F-W-TH feature brass shell/shielding material. TE Connectivity parts (292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6) use steel, stainless shell/shielding material. Both material compositions meet UL94 V-0 requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6, or USB-A-S-F-W-TH be used as direct replacements for the 690A104-223-021?

A: Yes. All four parts are functionally equivalent based on critical parameters: USB-A connector type, USB 2.0 specification, 4-position receptacle configuration, through-hole right-angle horizontal mounting, solder termination, board lock feature, shielding, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitution is valid for applications where these core parameters define the requirement.

Q: What are the differences between 292303-4, 292303-5, and 292303-6?

A: All three are TE Connectivity parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are packaging format and insulation color. 292303-4 and 292303-6 are supplied in Bulk packaging with black insulation. 292303-5 is supplied in Tube packaging with natural insulation. All three support 1500 mating cycles and operate from -55°C to 85°C.

Q: Does the lower current rating of TE Connectivity parts (1A per contact) affect substitution?

A: Current rating compatibility depends on application requirements. The 690A104-223-021 is rated at 1.5A. If the application requires sustained current above 1A per contact, TE Connectivity parts (292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6) may not be suitable. Confirm application current requirements before selection.

Q: What is the significance of the extended operating temperature range in substitute parts?

A: TE Connectivity parts (292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6) operate from -55°C to 85°C, compared to the 690A104-223-021 range of -40°C to 85°C. The extended lower temperature limit provides additional design margin for applications in cold environments. This does not restrict substitution for applications within the original -40°C to 85°C range.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: The 690A104-223-021, 292303-6, and USB-A-S-F-W-TH are ROHS3 Compliant. Parts 292303-4 and 292303-5 are RoHS Compliant. All parts are REACH Unaffected (except 690A104-223-021, which does not specify REACH status). For applications requiring ROHS3 certification, 292303-6 or USB-A-S-F-W-TH are preferred.

Q: How does packaging format affect component selection?

A: Packaging format (Bulk or Tube) is a logistical consideration that does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Bulk packaging is suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Tube packaging may be preferred for lower-volume applications or manual assembly processes. Selection should align with assembly process capabilities and inventory management requirements.

Q: What is the difference between brass and stainless steel shell materials?

A: The 690A104-223-021 and USB-A-S-F-W-TH use brass shell/shielding material. TE Connectivity parts use steel, stainless material. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection may affect EMI shielding characteristics and corrosion resistance in specific environmental conditions. Confirm material compatibility with application requirements.

Q: Is the Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH suitable for applications requiring specified current ratings?

A: The USB-A-S-F-W-TH does not specify current rating in the provided data. Applications with defined current requirements should confirm compatibility with Samtec technical documentation before selection. For applications requiring explicit current rating specification, TE Connectivity or EDAC parts are preferred.
