Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the Amphenol ICC 87520 series is determined by strict equivalence across core electrical and mechanical parameters: connector type (USB-A receptacle), USB specification (2.0), contact count (4), gender (receptacle), mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle, horizontal), termination method (solder), current rating (3A), operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C), contact finish (gold, GXT™), shell material (copper alloy), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and board lock feature.

Variations among substitute parts are limited to: insulation color (black or white), mating cycle rating (1500, 5000, or 15000 cycles), and regulatory compliance status (RoHS Compliant, ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Affected, or REACH Unaffected). These variations do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the core electrical and mechanical specifications are the controlling design parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All parts within this substitution group maintain identical core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in USB 2.0 receptacle applications. Selection among these alternatives is determined by application-specific requirements:

Mating Cycle Durability: The 87520-1012BPLF and 87520-1010BLF are rated for 5000 mating cycles, suitable for standard industrial and consumer applications. The 87520-3S10BPLF provides extended durability at 15000 mating cycles for high-cycle insertion applications. The 87520-0010BLF and 87520-0012BLF are rated for 1500 mating cycles and are appropriate for lower-cycle-count applications.

Regulatory Compliance: The 87520-3S10BPLF carries ROHS3 Compliant status, providing alignment with the most current RoHS directive requirements. All parts are RoHS Compliant. REACH status varies: 87520-0010BLF and 87520-0012BLF are REACH Affected, while 87520-1010BLF and 87520-3S10BPLF are REACH Unaffected.

Insulation Color: Black insulation (87520-1012BPLF, 87520-1010BLF, 87520-3S10BPLF) and white insulation (87520-0010BLF, 87520-0012BLF) variants are available for visual identification or design preference.

Product Status: All parts are active products with current manufacturing and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 87520-0010BLF or 87520-0012BLF be used as direct replacements for 87520-1012BPLF?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, the 87520-0010BLF and 87520-0012BLF are rated for 1500 mating cycles compared to 5000 cycles for the 87520-1012BPLF. Selection depends on the application's insertion cycle requirements. Both parts are RoHS Compliant but REACH Affected, whereas the 87520-1012BPLF status is not specified for REACH.

Q: What is the difference between 87520-1012BPLF and 87520-1010BLF?

A: These parts are electrically and mechanically identical. Both are rated for 5000 mating cycles, operate across -55°C to 85°C, and feature black insulation. The primary difference is REACH compliance status: 87520-1010BLF is REACH Unaffected, while 87520-1012BPLF status is not specified.

Q: When should 87520-3S10BPLF be selected?

A: The 87520-3S10BPLF is the appropriate choice for applications requiring extended connector durability, rated for 15000 mating cycles. It also carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, representing the latest RoHS directive compliance level. It is REACH Unaffected.

Q: Are all these connectors suitable for the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All parts share identical mounting specifications: through-hole, right-angle, horizontal mounting with solder termination. PCB layout and footprint design are interchangeable across all five part numbers.

Q: What is the significance of insulation color variation?

A: Insulation color (black or white) is a visual identifier and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection is based on design preference or internal documentation standards.

Q: Are these connectors shielded?

A: No. All parts in this group are unshielded USB 2.0 receptacles. Shielding is not a variable parameter within this substitution group.
