Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 690A104-523-021 are qualified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Number of Contacts: 4 positions
• Voltage Rating: 30V minimum
• Shielding: Shielded configuration

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal orientation
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Lock capability

Environmental & Compliance:

• Material Flammability: UL94 V-0
• Operating Temperature: Minimum -40°C to 85°C range
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS3 or equivalent

All four substitute parts (292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6, and USB-A-S-F-W-TH) meet these critical parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the 690A104-523-021 at the board assembly level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain Active product status and comply with RoHS requirements, ensuring long-term supply chain viability and regulatory compliance.

TE Connectivity 292303-4 and 292303-6: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging and offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) compared to the original 690A104-523-021 (-40°C to 85°C). The 292303-6 variant carries ROHS3 compliance matching the original specification. These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher inventory volumes or extended temperature performance margins.

TE Connectivity 292303-5: Supplied in tube packaging, this variant provides the same electrical and mechanical compatibility as 292303-4 and 292303-6 with identical performance parameters. The tube packaging format accommodates different procurement and handling workflows.

Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH: This part carries ROHS3 compliance and operates across -50°C to 85°C. The brass shell material matches the original 690A104-523-021, providing identical mechanical interface characteristics. This variant is suitable for applications where material consistency with the original design is required.

All substitute parts satisfy the core functional requirements for USB 2.0 receptacle connectivity in through-hole, right-angle configurations with board lock features and solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 292303 series parts directly replace the EDAC 690A104-523-021 on existing PCB assemblies?

A: Yes. The 292303-4, 292303-5, and 292303-6 variants are mechanically and electrically compatible. All maintain identical mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), termination method (solder), connector type (USB-A receptacle), and contact configuration (4-position). No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between 292303-4, 292303-5, and 292303-6?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and insulation color. The 292303-4 and 292303-6 are supplied in bulk packaging, while 292303-5 is supplied in tube packaging. The 292303-5 features natural insulation color, while 292303-4 and 292303-6 feature black insulation. All three maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Does the Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH offer any advantages over the TE Connectivity alternatives?

A: The Samtec part features brass shell material identical to the original 690A104-523-021, whereas TE Connectivity parts use steel/stainless steel. For applications where shell material consistency is a design requirement, the Samtec variant provides direct material matching. All parts meet equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Are there current rating differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The original 690A104-523-021 is rated at 1.5A. The TE Connectivity 292303 series parts are rated at 1A per contact. The Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH does not specify current rating. For applications requiring the full 1.5A rating, the original EDAC part or equivalent parts with matching current specifications should be selected.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference, and does it affect substitution?

A: The original part operates -40°C to 85°C. All substitute parts operate at -55°C to -50°C minimum, providing extended low-temperature performance. This represents a performance improvement and does not restrict substitution for applications within the original temperature range.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: The 292303-6 and USB-A-S-F-W-TH variants carry explicit ROHS3 compliance. The 292303-4 and 292303-5 carry RoHS compliance designation. For applications requiring ROHS3 certification, the 292303-6 or USB-A-S-F-W-TH variants are recommended.

Q: What packaging options are available for production orders?

A: The 292303-4 and 292303-6 are available in bulk packaging. The 292303-5 is available in tube packaging. The USB-A-S-F-W-TH is available in bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with assembly process requirements and inventory management protocols.
