Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 690A104-623-021 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 parameters. Variations in operating temperature range, current rating specifications, contact finish options, shell material composition, and insulation color do not preclude substitution when the critical parameters align. These variations reflect different manufacturing approaches by TE Connectivity and Samtec while maintaining functional equivalence for USB 2.0 receptacle applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are qualified equivalents for the 690A104-623-021 based on matching critical functional parameters and active product status.

TE Connectivity 292303 Series (292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6): These parts share identical core specifications with the main part and offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C). The 292303 series provides RoHS compliance with REACH unaffected status. Selection between these three variants depends on packaging requirements: 292303-4 and 292303-6 are supplied in bulk packaging, while 292303-5 is supplied in tube packaging. Insulation color differs between variants (Black for 292303-4 and 292303-6; Natural for 292303-5). All three variants specify 1A per contact current rating and 1500 mating cycles.

Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH: This part maintains functional equivalence with operating temperature range of -50°C to 85°C and ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status. The USB-A-S-F-W-TH features brass shell material matching the main part and white insulation color. Bulk packaging is standard for this variant. Current rating is not specified in available documentation.

Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed for 690A104-623-021, 292303-6, and USB-A-S-F-W-TH. The 292303-4 and 292303-5 variants carry RoHS compliance designation. All parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 292303-4, 292303-5, and 292303-6 be used interchangeably with 690A104-623-021?

A: Yes. All three TE Connectivity variants meet the critical functional parameters: USB-A receptacle, USB 2.0 specification, 4-position through-hole right-angle configuration, solder termination, board lock feature, shielding, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Selection between these three depends on packaging format (bulk or tube) and insulation color requirements for your application.

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

A: The primary differences are packaging 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 color. All three share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including -55°C to 85°C operating temperature range, 1A per contact current rating, and 1500 mating cycles.

Q: Is the Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH compatible with applications designed for 690A104-623-021?

A: Yes. The USB-A-S-F-W-TH meets all critical substitution parameters and maintains functional equivalence. The part features brass shell material consistent with the main part, operates across -50°C to 85°C, and carries ROHS3 compliance. White insulation color is the distinguishing feature of this variant.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: connector type (USB-A), specification (USB 2.0), contact count (4), gender (receptacle), mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle horizontal), termination method (solder), board lock feature, shielding, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. Variations in operating temperature, current rating specifications, shell material, contact finish, and insulation color do not preclude substitution when these core parameters align.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitute parts?

A: The main part 690A104-623-021 and substitute parts 292303-6 and USB-A-S-F-W-TH carry ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts 292303-4 and 292303-5 carry RoHS compliance. All parts are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99. For applications with specific regulatory requirements, verify compliance status against your design specifications.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?

A: 292303-4 and 292303-6 are supplied in bulk packaging. 292303-5 is supplied in tube packaging. USB-A-S-F-W-TH is supplied in bulk packaging. Select the packaging format that aligns with your procurement and assembly workflow requirements.
