Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 787616-2 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
• Number of Contacts: 4 positions
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Features: Board Lock
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Current Rating: 1A per Contact
• Voltage - Rated: 30VAC
• Mating Cycles: 1500
• Number of Ports: 1

The substitute parts identified below maintain full parametric compatibility with the main part across all specified electrical and mechanical characteristics. Substitution is valid where all primary matching parameters align and secondary compatibility parameters are met or exceeded.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity 292303-2

The TE Connectivity 292303-2 is the recommended direct substitute for the 787616-2. This part maintains complete parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, contact count, mounting configuration, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and mating cycle rating. The 292303-2 is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance, providing superior long-term availability and regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete 787616-2. The part is packaged in tube format with 2832 units currently in stock.

Secondary Substitute: Switchcraft Inc. SUSBX

The Switchcraft Inc. SUSBX provides parametric equivalence for core mechanical and electrical characteristics, including connector type, contact count, mounting type, termination method, shielding, board lock feature, flammability rating, and mating cycle rating. However, the SUSBX does not specify current rating, voltage rating, or operating temperature range. This part is classified as obsolete and carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status. The SUSBX is available in bulk packaging with 1003 units in stock.

Selection between the primary and secondary substitutes should be based on product availability requirements, compliance mandates, and long-term supply chain considerations. The 292303-2 is preferred for new designs and ongoing production due to active product status and full specification documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 292303-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 787616-2?

A: Yes. The 292303-2 maintains complete parametric compatibility across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, contact configuration, mounting type, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and mating cycle rating. The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance, with the 292303-2 being an active product with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What are the key differences between the 787616-2 and 292303-2?

A: The 787616-2 is classified as obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 292303-2 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. The 292303-2 includes USB 2.0 specification documentation. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, operating temperature range, mating cycle capability, and mechanical mounting configuration. The shell/shielding material differs: the 787616-2 uses copper alloy, while the 292303-2 uses steel or stainless steel.

Q: Is the Switchcraft Inc. SUSBX a suitable alternative?

A: The SUSBX provides mechanical and structural compatibility with the 787616-2, matching connector type, contact count, mounting configuration, shielding, board lock feature, and flammability rating. However, the SUSBX does not specify current rating, voltage rating, or operating temperature range. The SUSBX is also classified as obsolete. Use of the SUSBX requires verification that unspecified electrical parameters are acceptable for the application.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 787616-2 is supplied without specified packaging. The 292303-2 is packaged in tube format. The SUSBX is packaged in bulk. Packaging selection should align with production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. The 787616-2 is RoHS non-compliant. Both the 292303-2 and SUSBX are ROHS3 compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 292303-2 or SUSBX must be used.

Q: What is the current availability of these parts?

A: The 787616-2 has 1124 units in stock. The 292303-2 has 2832 units in stock. The SUSBX has 1003 units in stock. All parts are listed as new original inventory.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design accommodates the specified mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle, horizontal) and the electrical requirements do not exceed the rated specifications. The 1A per contact current rating and 30VAC voltage rating apply to both the 787616-2 and 292303-2. Designs using the SUSBX require confirmation that unspecified electrical parameters are suitable.
