Amphenol ICC 87520-1110ALF USB 2.0 Type-A Receptacle Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 87520-1110ALF is a USB-A (USB TYPE-A) USB 2.0 receptacle connector with 4 positions, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting with solder termination. This connector features board lock functionality, shielded construction with gold-plated GXT™ contacts, and copper alloy shell material rated UL94 V-0. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for direct board-level substitution.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 87520-1110ALF are grouped into two categories based on parametric equivalence:

Category 1: Amphenol ICC Series 87520 Direct Equivalents (Active Status) These parts maintain identical electrical specifications (USB 2.0, 4-position receptacle, 3A current rating, 1500 mating cycles) and mechanical configuration (through-hole, right-angle, horizontal mounting, solder termination, board lock). Substitution is determined by matching: connector type (USB-A), number of contacts (4), gender (receptacle), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), termination method (solder), current rating (3A), mating cycles (1500), shielding (shielded), contact finish (gold), shell material (copper alloy), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), operating temperature (-55°C ~ 85°C), and RoHS compliance. Variations in packaging (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) and insulation color do not affect functional equivalence.

Category 2: Cross-Manufacturer Equivalents The Würth Elektronik 614104150121 provides parametric equivalence with the following allowances: identical connector type (USB-A), contacts (4), gender (receptacle), mounting (through-hole, right-angle), termination (solder), board lock feature, shielding (shielded), contact finish (gold), flammability (UL94 V-0), and mating cycles (1500). Current rating differs (1.5A vs. 3A) and operating temperature range is narrower (-40°C ~ 85°C vs. -55°C ~ 85°C), representing functional limitations in high-current and extreme low-temperature applications.

Non-Equivalent Part: The Mill-Max Manufacturing 897-43-004-90-000000 is classified as manufacturer-recommended but not parametrically equivalent due to connector type difference (USB-B vs. USB-A) and reduced current rating (1A vs. 3A), making it unsuitable for direct substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Amphenol ICC Series 87520): Parts 87520-0110ALF, 87520-0110APLF, 87520-0112ALF, 87520-1112APLF, 87520-2110APLF, 87520-3110ABLF, 87520-3112ALF, and 87520-3112APLF are all active-status equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. These parts are recommended for direct substitution without design modification. Selection among these variants is determined by packaging requirements (Tape & Reel or Cut Tape) and inventory availability. All maintain RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Secondary Substitute (Würth Elektronik 614104150121): The Würth Elektronik 614104150121 is suitable for applications where current demand does not exceed 1.5A and operating temperature remains within -40°C to 85°C. This part maintains identical connector type, contact count, mounting configuration, and board lock functionality. The reduced current rating and narrower temperature range represent functional constraints that must be evaluated against application requirements. ROHS3 compliance status differs from the main part's RoHS compliance designation.

Non-Recommended Substitute: The Mill-Max Manufacturing 897-43-004-90-000000 is not recommended for direct substitution due to USB-B connector type (incompatible with USB-A receptacles) and 1A current rating (insufficient for 3A-rated applications).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the obsolete 87520-1110ALF with any of the active Amphenol ICC alternatives? A: Yes. All active Amphenol ICC Series 87520 parts listed (87520-0110ALF, 87520-0110APLF, 87520-0112ALF, 87520-1112APLF, 87520-2110APLF, 87520-3110ABLF, 87520-3112ALF, 87520-3112APLF) are parametrically equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection is based on packaging format and availability.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging? A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is supplied on continuous tape for automated assembly processes. Cut Tape (CT) packaging is supplied in individual tape segments. Both formats contain identical components; packaging selection depends on assembly equipment and volume requirements.

Q: Can I use the Würth Elektronik 614104150121 as a substitute? A: The Würth Elektronik 614104150121 is functionally equivalent only for applications with current requirements not exceeding 1.5A and operating temperatures within -40°C to 85°C. If your application requires the full 3A current rating or operates below -40°C, this part is not suitable.

Q: Why is the Mill-Max 897-43-004-90-000000 listed but not recommended? A: The Mill-Max part is a USB-B connector, not USB-A. USB-B connectors are mechanically and electrically incompatible with USB-A receptacles. Additionally, its 1A current rating is insufficient for applications requiring 3A capacity.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: The Amphenol ICC Series 87520 parts are RoHS Compliant. The Würth Elektronik 614104150121 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both designations indicate compliance with lead-free and hazardous substance restrictions, though ROHS3 represents a more recent regulatory standard.

Q: What is the significance of the GXT™ contact finish? A: GXT™ is Amphenol's proprietary gold plating specification for the Amphenol ICC Series 87520 parts. The Würth Elektronik part uses standard gold plating. Both provide corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact; the GXT™ designation is specific to Amphenol manufacturing.

Q: Can insulation color differences affect substitution? A: No. Insulation color (black or white) is a cosmetic variation that does not affect electrical or mechanical function. All parts with identical specifications are interchangeable regardless of insulation color.
