Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 690A104-623-421 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Core Electrical & Mechanical Criteria:

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

Compliance & Environmental Criteria:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant or RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8536.69.4040

All four substitute parts (292303-4, 292303-5, 292303-6, and USB-A-S-F-W-TH) meet these core criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the 690A104-623-421 in applications requiring USB 2.0 receptacle connectivity with board lock functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (690A104-623-421 - EDAC Inc.): The original part is ROHS3 compliant and currently active in production with adequate inventory (763 units). This part is the preferred choice when EDAC supply chain continuity is established and cost is not a primary constraint.

Secondary Selection (292303-6 - TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): The 292303-6 is ROHS3 compliant and offers the highest inventory availability (6580 units) among substitute options. This part is suitable for applications requiring extended lead time protection and bulk packaging. The stainless steel shell provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the brass shell of the original part.

Alternative Selection (292303-4 - TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): The 292303-4 is RoHS compliant (not ROHS3) and available in bulk packaging with 3826 units in stock. This part is suitable for applications where ROHS3 compliance is not mandatory and cost optimization is required.

Alternative Selection (292303-5 - TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): The 292303-5 is RoHS compliant and supplied in tube packaging with 1322 units in stock. This part is suitable for lower-volume applications or when tube packaging is preferred for automated assembly processes.

Tertiary Selection (USB-A-S-F-W-TH - Samtec Inc.): The USB-A-S-F-W-TH is ROHS3 compliant with 3996 units in stock. This part offers an alternative sourcing path from Samtec with brass shell construction matching the original part. The white insulation color distinguishes this variant for visual identification in mixed-supplier environments.

All substitute parts maintain electrical and mechanical equivalence with the 690A104-623-421 across core USB 2.0 receptacle specifications, board lock functionality, and compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 292303-4, 292303-5, and 292303-6 be used interchangeably with 690A104-623-421?

A: Yes. All three TE Connectivity parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 690A104-623-421. The primary differences are packaging format (bulk vs. tube), shell material (stainless steel vs. brass), and insulation color. These differences do not affect functional compatibility in USB 2.0 receptacle applications with board lock requirements.

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

A: Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status: 292303-4 is RoHS compliant, while 292303-6 is ROHS3 compliant. Both are supplied in bulk packaging. If ROHS3 compliance is required, 292303-6 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Why does 292303-5 have different insulation color (Natural) compared to other parts?

A: Insulation color is a cosmetic variant that does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The 292303-5 is supplied in tube packaging with natural-colored insulation. This variant is functionally equivalent to the black-insulated versions and can be substituted without performance impact.

Q: What is the significance of the stainless steel shell in TE Connectivity parts versus the brass shell in EDAC and Samtec parts?

A: Shell material affects corrosion resistance and environmental durability. Stainless steel (TE Connectivity 292303 series) provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh or humid environments. Brass (EDAC 690A and Samtec USB-A-S-F-W-TH) offers standard performance in controlled environments. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for standard USB 2.0 applications.

Q: Are there any temperature operating range differences that affect substitution?

A: The 690A104-623-421 operates from -40°C to 85°C. All substitute parts operate across wider or equivalent temperature ranges (-50°C to -55°C minimum). This means substitute parts can be used in all applications where the original part is specified, including those at the lower temperature extreme of -40°C.

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. The 690A104-623-421 packaging is not specified in the provided data. Packaging selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: All parts are ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040 classified. RoHS compliance varies: 690A104-623-421 and 292303-6 and USB-A-S-F-W-TH are ROHS3 compliant; 292303-4 and 292303-5 are RoHS compliant. For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, select 690A104-623-421, 292303-6, or USB-A-S-F-W-TH.

Q: What is the current rating difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 690A104-623-421 specifies 1.5A current rating. The TE Connectivity parts (292303 series) specify 1A per contact. The Samtec part (USB-A-S-F-W-TH) does not specify current rating. For applications requiring 1.5A continuous current, verify that the substitute part's current rating meets application requirements before substitution.
