Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 87520-0210BLF

Part Overview

The 87520-0210BLF is a USB-A USB 2.0 receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI), designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This connector features 4 positions, solder termination, and board lock functionality with a 3A current rating. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for new designs and production continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters: connector type (USB-A), USB specification (2.0), contact count (4), gender (receptacle), mounting configuration (through hole, right angle, horizontal), termination method (solder), board lock feature, operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), mating cycle rating (1500), shielding (shielded), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Amphenol ICC parts 87520-1110BPLF, 87520-1112BPLF, and 87520-2112BLF meet all core electrical and mechanical parameters. These parts differ from the main part only in product status (active versus obsolete) and insulation color, which does not affect functional compatibility.

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors parts 1-292303-4, 1-292303-5, 292303-1, 292303-2, 292303-3, and 292303-6 are parametric equivalents that satisfy all required specifications. These parts maintain USB-A type-A configuration, USB 2.0 compliance, 4-position receptacle design, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, board lock feature, operating temperature range, mating cycles, shielding, and flammability rating. Variations in current rating (1A per contact versus 3A) and shell material (steel/stainless versus copper alloy) do not preclude substitution when application requirements are met.

The Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. part 897-43-004-90-000000 is not a direct substitute. Although it shares USB 2.0 specification, 4-position receptacle configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, and board lock feature, it is a USB-B connector type, which is mechanically and electrically incompatible with USB-A applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring direct replacement of the obsolete 87520-0210BLF, Amphenol ICC parts 87520-1110BPLF, 87520-1112BPLF, and 87520-2112BLF are the primary candidates. These parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The 87520-1110BPLF and 87520-1112BPLF are packaged in tubes, while 87520-2112BLF is also tube-packaged and carries REACH Affected status.

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors parts 1-292303-4, 1-292303-5, 292303-1, 292303-2, 292303-3, and 292303-6 are functionally equivalent alternatives. These parts are active, RoHS compliant, and available in multiple packaging formats (bag, tube, bulk). Selection among TE Connectivity variants should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability. All TE Connectivity parts carry ROHS3 or RoHS Compliant status.

The Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. part 897-43-004-90-000000 is not suitable for direct substitution due to its USB-B connector type classification, which is mechanically and electrically distinct from USB-A applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 87520-1110BPLF directly replace 87520-0210BLF?

A: Yes. Both parts are USB-A USB 2.0 receptacle connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 4-position, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, board lock feature, -55°C ~ 85°C operating range, 1500 mating cycles, shielded configuration, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and insulation color (black versus white), neither of which affects functional compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Amphenol ICC and TE Connectivity substitute parts?

A: Both manufacturers provide USB-A USB 2.0 receptacle connectors meeting all core specifications. Amphenol ICC parts (87520 series) feature 3A current rating and copper alloy shell material with GXT™ gold contact finish. TE Connectivity parts (292303 series) feature 1A per contact current rating and steel/stainless shell material with gold or gold-palladium contact finish. Selection depends on application current requirements and environmental considerations.

Q: Are TE Connectivity parts 292303-1, 292303-2, and 292303-3 interchangeable?

A: Yes, these parts are parametrically equivalent. The primary distinction is insulation color: 292303-1 and 292303-2 feature black insulation, while 292303-3 features natural insulation. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. Selection should be based on visual identification requirements or design specifications.

Q: Why is 897-43-004-90-000000 not a suitable substitute?

A: The 897-43-004-90-000000 is a USB-B connector type, not USB-A. USB-B connectors have different mechanical geometry and pin configuration, making them incompatible with USB-A receptacles. Although both are USB 2.0 shielded connectors with board lock features, the connector type difference precludes direct substitution.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: Amphenol ICC parts are available in tube packaging. TE Connectivity parts are available in multiple formats: bag (1-292303-4), tube (1-292303-5, 292303-1, 292303-2, 292303-3), and bulk (292303-6). Packaging selection should align with production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Amphenol ICC parts 87520-1110BPLF, 87520-1112BPLF, and 87520-2112BLF are RoHS compliant. TE Connectivity parts carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant status. The original part 87520-0210BLF does not specify RoHS status. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, all listed active substitutes meet this requirement.
