Engineering Selection Recommendations
Direct Equivalent (Same Manufacturer): The 87520-2112BLF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) Series 87520 is the closest substitute, maintaining identical electrical specifications (3A current rating), contact finish (Gold, GXT™), and mechanical compatibility. The only difference is insulation color (White vs. Black). This part is suitable for direct substitution when color variation is acceptable.
Functional Equivalents (TE Connectivity AMP Series 292303): Parts 1-292303-4, 292303-1, 292303-2, 292303-3, and 292303-6 provide functional equivalence for USB 2.0 receptacle applications. These parts differ in current rating per contact (1A per contact vs. 3A), shell material (Steel, Stainless vs. Copper Alloy), and packaging options. Selection among these variants depends on application current requirements and packaging logistics.
Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range compatibility (-55°C to 85°C). RoHS compliance is confirmed across all options. TE Connectivity parts 292303-1, 292303-2, and 292303-6 carry ROHS3 certification. The 87520-2112BLF carries REACH Affected status, while most TE Connectivity variants are REACH Unaffected or Vendor Undefined.
Packaging & Availability: Selection should account for packaging format requirements (Tube, Bag, or Bulk) and inventory availability. TE Connectivity 292303-1 offers the highest inventory level (19,450 pcs), providing supply chain security for high-volume applications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I substitute the 87520-1112BPLF with a TE Connectivity 292303 series connector?
A: Yes, the TE Connectivity 292303 series connectors (1-292303-4, 292303-1, 292303-2, 292303-3, 292303-6) are functionally equivalent for USB 2.0 receptacle applications. All maintain the same connector type, 4-position configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, board lock feature, operating temperature range, mating cycles, and shielding. The primary difference is current rating per contact (1A per contact vs. 3A), which may affect suitability depending on your application's power requirements.
Q: What is the difference between the 87520-1112BPLF and 87520-2112BLF?
A: Both are Amphenol ICC (FCI) Series 87520 connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 87520-2112BLF has white insulation instead of black. Both maintain 3A current rating, Gold GXT™ contact finish, and Copper Alloy shell material. This is a direct substitute when insulation color variation is acceptable.
Q: Why do TE Connectivity 292303 parts have lower current ratings (1A per contact) compared to the 87520-1112BPLF (3A)?
A: Current rating differences reflect design variations between manufacturers. The 87520-1112BPLF is rated for 3A total, while TE Connectivity 292303 series is rated at 1A per contact. Application selection should be based on actual current requirements. For applications requiring 3A capacity, the 87520-2112BLF is the recommended substitute.
Q: Does packaging format affect electrical or mechanical compatibility?
A: No. Packaging format (Tube, Bag, or Bulk) affects only logistics, handling, and storage. All substitute parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications are interchangeable regardless of packaging. Selection should be based on procurement volume and inventory management requirements.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The 87520-1112BPLF is RoHS Compliant. The 87520-2112BLF is RoHS Compliant. TE Connectivity parts 292303-1, 292303-2, and 292303-6 are ROHS3 Compliant. Part 1-292303-4 and 292303-3 are RoHS Compliant. All meet RoHS requirements.
Q: What is the difference between Gold and Gold-Palladium contact finish?
A: Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact. Gold (GXT™) is used on Amphenol ICC parts. Gold or Gold-Palladium is used on TE Connectivity parts. Both are suitable for USB 2.0 applications. Selection depends on specific application requirements and supplier availability.
Q: Can I use a 292303-3 with Natural insulation color instead of Black?
A: Yes. Insulation color is a cosmetic and identification feature that does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The 292303-3 with Natural insulation is electrically and mechanically equivalent to black-insulated variants. Selection should be based on application requirements and visual identification needs.
