Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 690A104-223-421 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the main part specifications:

Core Matching Criteria:

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

All identified substitute parts (292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6, and USB-A-S-F-W-TH) satisfy these core matching criteria. Variations exist in operating temperature ranges, current ratings per contact, contact finish options, shell materials, and packaging formats, which are documented in the parameter comparison table below.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute - TE Connectivity 292303-6: The 292303-6 is the most direct substitute for the 690A104-223-421. Both parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status, matching the regulatory compliance profile of the original part. The 292303-6 operates across an extended temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) compared to the main part (-40°C to 85°C), providing broader environmental compatibility. This part is available in bulk packaging with 6580 units in stock.

Secondary Substitute - TE Connectivity 292303-4: The 292303-4 offers equivalent functionality with RoHS Compliant status and bulk packaging. It provides the same extended operating temperature range as 292303-6 and includes documented mating cycle specifications (1500 cycles). Inventory availability is 3826 units.

Tertiary Substitute - TE Connectivity 292303-5: The 292303-5 is functionally equivalent to 292303-4 and 292303-6 but is supplied in tube packaging rather than bulk. This variant features natural insulation color instead of black. RoHS Compliant status and 1322 units in stock are available.

Alternative Substitute - Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH: The USB-A-S-F-W-TH from Samtec Inc. meets all core functional requirements with ROHS3 Compliant status. This part features brass shell material matching the original 690A104-223-421 and gold contact finish. Operating temperature range is -50°C to 85°C. Current rating is not specified for this part. Bulk packaging with 3996 units in stock is available.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and comply with the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications as the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 292303-4, 292303-5, and 292303-6 be used interchangeably with the 690A104-223-421?

A: Yes. All three TE Connectivity parts satisfy the core functional requirements: USB-A receptacle, 4-position, USB 2.0 specification, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, board lock feature, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary differences are packaging format (bulk versus tube) and insulation color. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) of these parts exceeds the original part specification.

Q: What is the difference between 292303-4 and 292303-6?

A: Both parts are functionally identical USB-A receptors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status: 292303-4 carries RoHS Compliant designation, while 292303-6 carries ROHS3 Compliant designation. Both are supplied in bulk packaging. The 292303-6 has higher inventory availability (6580 units versus 3826 units).

Q: Why does 292303-5 have different insulation color?

A: The 292303-5 features natural insulation color instead of black, which is the only cosmetic difference from 292303-4 and 292303-6. All electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical. This part is supplied in tube packaging rather than bulk.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between the main part and TE Connectivity substitutes?

A: The 690A104-223-421 specifies 1.5A total current rating, while TE Connectivity parts specify 1A per contact. For a 4-position connector, the TE parts support 4A total capacity (1A × 4 contacts), which exceeds the original part specification. Applications requiring the full 1.5A rating of the original part are supported by all TE Connectivity substitutes.

Q: Is the Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH suitable as a substitute?

A: Yes. The USB-A-S-F-W-TH meets all core functional requirements and carries ROHS3 Compliant status matching the original part. It features brass shell material and gold contact finish identical to the 690A104-223-421. The primary limitation is that current rating is not specified for this part. Operating temperature range is -50°C to 85°C, which is narrower than TE Connectivity alternatives but exceeds the original part specification at the lower end.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitutes?

A: TE Connectivity 292303-4 and 292303-6 are supplied in bulk packaging. TE Connectivity 292303-5 is supplied in tube packaging. Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH is supplied in bulk packaging. Selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant status. The original 690A104-223-421 carries ROHS3 Compliant status. For applications requiring ROHS3 specifically, 292303-6 and USB-A-S-F-W-TH are direct matches. The 292303-4 and 292303-5 carry RoHS Compliant status, which is acceptable for most applications but may require verification against specific procurement requirements.
