Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 72309-7013BLF are identified from the 72309 series based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• USB 2.0 specification compliance
• 8-position contact configuration
• 1.5A per contact current rating
• 1500 mating cycle rating
• Receptacle gender
• Gold contact finish with GXT™ plating

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Through-hole mounting with right-angle orientation
• Horizontal mounting feature
• Stacked connector type with dual ports
• Solder termination
• Board lock feature
• Copper alloy shell material
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS compliant status
• Active product status
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 85°C

The three substitute parts (72309-7014BLF, 72309-8014BLF, 72309-8034BLF) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations exist only in insulation color and REACH compliance status, which do not affect functional interchangeability in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts within this equivalence group maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Selection between 72309-7013BLF and its substitutes should be based on the following factors:

Availability: Parts 72309-7014BLF, 72309-8014BLF, and 72309-8034BLF offer significantly higher inventory levels (4048, 5124, and 11123 units respectively) compared to the primary part (1001 units).

Insulation Color: The 72309-7013BLF and 72309-7014BLF feature black insulation, while 72309-8014BLF and 72309-8034BLF feature white insulation. Insulation color selection should align with PCB assembly documentation and visual identification requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: All parts are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The 72309-7014BLF is REACH Unaffected, while 72309-8014BLF and 72309-8034BLF are REACH Affected. For applications subject to REACH regulations, compliance status should be verified against end-use requirements.

Functional Interchangeability: All substitute parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the primary part number in applications requiring USB 2.0 Type-A stacked receptacle connectors with through-hole right-angle mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these parts electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. All parts in this group meet identical USB 2.0 specifications, carry the same 1.5A per contact current rating, and support 1500 mating cycles. Electrical performance is equivalent across all four part numbers.

Q: What is the difference between the black and white insulation versions? A: The 72309-7013BLF and 72309-7014BLF feature black insulation, while 72309-8014BLF and 72309-8034BLF feature white insulation. This is a cosmetic and identification difference with no impact on electrical or mechanical function.

Q: Can I substitute 72309-8014BLF for 72309-7013BLF in my design? A: Yes, provided your application does not have specific insulation color requirements. The white insulation on 72309-8014BLF does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: What does REACH Affected versus REACH Unaffected mean? A: REACH Affected parts (72309-8014BLF, 72309-8034BLF) may contain substances of concern regulated under REACH. REACH Unaffected parts (72309-7014BLF) do not contain such substances. For applications subject to REACH compliance requirements, verify the appropriate part designation.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. All four part numbers are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting standard environmental and safety requirements.

Q: Which part should I select if availability is a concern? A: The 72309-8034BLF offers the highest inventory level at 11123 units. If insulation color is not a design constraint, this part provides maximum supply assurance.

Q: Do these connectors support USB 3.0 or higher? A: No. All parts in this group are rated for USB 2.0 specification only. For USB 3.0 or higher applications, alternative connector types are required.
