USB-A USB 2.0 Receptacle Connector 87520-1112APLF

Part Overview

The 87520-1112APLF is an active USB-A USB 2.0 receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI). This through-hole, right-angle mounted connector is designed for applications requiring a 4-position USB Type-A interface with board lock features and shielded construction. The connector operates across an industrial temperature range of -55°C to 85°C and supports 1500 mating cycles with a 3A current rating.

Equivalent and substitute parts become necessary when the original part number is unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when sourcing from multiple suppliers is needed for supply chain resilience.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 87520-1112APLF is determined by strict adherence to the following core parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Number of Contacts: 4
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Features: Board Lock
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape)
• Manufacturer and series designation
• Operating temperature range (within industrial specifications)
• Current rating (equal to or greater than 3A)
• Mating cycles (equal to or greater than 1500)
• Contact finish material (Gold or equivalent)
• Shell/Shielding material composition
• RoHS and REACH compliance status

All three substitute parts listed meet the mandatory matching parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically compatible with the 87520-1112APLF for direct board-level substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

87520-3112ALF (Amphenol ICC - FCI): This part is the closest equivalent to the main part number, differing only in packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel). Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, operating temperature range, and current rating. Selection of this part is appropriate when Cut Tape packaging is preferred for automated assembly processes or when Tape & Reel inventory is unavailable. RoHS compliance status is equivalent.

614104150121 (Würth Elektronik): This substitute meets all mandatory matching parameters but operates within a narrower temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -55°C to 85°C) and has a reduced current rating of 1.5A compared to the 3A rating of the main part. Selection of this part is appropriate only for applications where the operating temperature does not fall below -40°C and where current requirements do not exceed 1.5A. ROHS3 compliance status exceeds the RoHS Compliant status of the main part.

USB1130-15-A (GCT): This substitute meets all mandatory matching parameters and offers enhanced performance characteristics, including an extended mating cycle rating of 10,000 cycles (versus 1500 cycles) and a 30V voltage rating. The operating temperature range is -25°C to 85°C, which is narrower than the main part. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications requiring higher cycle life and when the minimum operating temperature requirement does not fall below -25°C. ROHS3 compliance status exceeds the RoHS Compliant status of the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 87520-3112ALF be used as a direct replacement for 87520-1112APLF?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is packaging format: 87520-1112APLF is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while 87520-3112ALF is supplied in Cut Tape format. Direct board-level substitution is possible without design modification.

Q: What are the limitations of using 614104150121 as a substitute?

A: The 614104150121 has two parameter restrictions: operating temperature range is limited to -40°C to 85°C (the main part operates to -55°C), and current rating is 1.5A (the main part is rated for 3A). This part is suitable only for applications where both the minimum operating temperature remains above -40°C and current draw does not exceed 1.5A.

Q: Why does USB1130-15-A have a different mating cycle rating?

A: The USB1130-15-A is rated for 10,000 mating cycles compared to 1500 cycles for the main part. This represents a design enhancement by GCT and indicates superior mechanical durability. This part is suitable for applications requiring extended connector life and frequent mating/unmating cycles.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The main part is RoHS Compliant. The substitute parts 614104150121 and USB1130-15-A are ROHS3 Compliant, which represents an updated compliance standard. All parts meet RoHS requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Can packaging format affect board assembly compatibility?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) affects only the supply and handling method during manufacturing. It does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility on the assembled board. Selection between formats depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: What is the significance of the Board Lock feature?

A: The Board Lock feature is present on all listed parts and provides mechanical retention of the connector to the printed circuit board during assembly and operation. This feature is mandatory for all substitutes and ensures consistent mechanical performance across all equivalent parts.
