Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 690A104-323-021 is determined by strict alignment with 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
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

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 specifications, contact finish composition, shell material, and insulation color do not affect functional interchangeability within the USB 2.0 receptacle connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are Active in product status and meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution with the 690A104-323-021.

TE Connectivity 292303 Series (292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6): These parts offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) compared to the primary part and include documented mating cycle specifications (1500 cycles). The 292303 series is RoHS compliant with REACH Unaffected status. Packaging options include Bulk (292303-4, 292303-6) and Tube (292303-5). The 292303-6 variant is RoHS3 compliant, matching the primary part's compliance level. Insulation color varies: 292303-4 and 292303-6 feature black insulation, while 292303-5 features natural insulation.

Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH: This part is RoHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, with an operating temperature range of -50°C to 85°C. It features brass shell material and gold contact finish, matching the primary part's material specifications. The white insulation color distinguishes this variant. Bulk packaging is standard.

Selection among these substitutes should be based on procurement availability, packaging requirements, and specific environmental operating conditions within the specified temperature ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 292303-4, 292303-5, and 292303-6 be used interchangeably with the 690A104-323-021?

A: Yes. All three TE Connectivity parts meet the core electrical and mechanical specifications for USB-A USB 2.0 receptacle connectors with through-hole right-angle mounting. The primary differences are packaging format (Bulk or Tube) and insulation color. Functional performance in circuit applications is equivalent.

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

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging and feature black insulation. The key difference is RoHS compliance status: 292303-4 is RoHS Compliant, while 292303-6 is RoHS3 Compliant. If RoHS3 compliance is required for your application, 292303-6 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Why does 292303-5 come in Tube packaging while 292303-4 and 292303-6 come in Bulk?

A: Packaging format is a supply chain and handling specification. Tube packaging (292303-5) is typically used for smaller order quantities or applications requiring organized component presentation, while Bulk packaging (292303-4, 292303-6) is standard for larger volume procurement. Electrical and mechanical performance is identical.

Q: Is the Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. The USB-A-S-F-W-TH is RoHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting modern regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: What is the significance of the extended operating temperature range in the TE Connectivity parts (-55°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C)?

A: The extended lower temperature limit in the TE Connectivity 292303 series provides additional margin for applications operating in cold environments. If your application operates within the -40°C to 85°C range, both the primary part and substitute parts are suitable. Extended temperature range does not affect compatibility.

Q: Are there any differences in current rating between these parts?

A: The primary part specifies 1.5A current rating. The TE Connectivity 292303 series specifies 1A per contact. The Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH does not provide a current rating specification in the available data. For applications requiring the full 1.5A rating, verify the specific application requirements against the connector's intended use case.

Q: Can I substitute the 690A104-323-021 with the USB-A-S-F-W-TH in a production design?

A: Yes. The USB-A-S-F-W-TH meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements for USB-A USB 2.0 receptacle connectors with through-hole right-angle mounting. Both parts feature brass shell material, gold contact finish, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary distinction is insulation color (white versus black).
