Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the Amphenol ICC 87520 series is determined by strict equivalence across core electrical and mechanical parameters. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications for connector type (USB-A receptacle), contact count (4 positions), 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), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Substitute parts are grouped based on the following key parameters:

• Connector Type and USB Specification: All parts are USB 2.0 Type-A receptacles with 4 contacts
• Mounting Configuration: All parts use through-hole, right-angle, horizontal mounting with solder termination
• Electrical Performance: All parts support 3A current rating and -55°C to 85°C operating temperature
• Material and Finish: All parts feature gold-plated contacts and copper alloy shells with UL94 V-0 rating
• Moisture Sensitivity: All parts are MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Variations between substitute parts are limited to mating cycle ratings (1500, 5000, or 15000 cycles), insulation color (black or white), and regulatory compliance status (RoHS Compliant, ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Affected, or REACH Unaffected). These variations do not affect functional interchangeability for standard USB 2.0 applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts within the 87520 series maintain active product status and meet RoHS compliance requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. Selection between the main part (87520-3012BLF) and substitute options should be based on application-specific mating cycle requirements and regulatory compliance scope.

For applications requiring standard USB 2.0 connectivity with moderate insertion cycles, the 87520-3012BLF and 87520-1010BLF both provide 5000 mating cycles with RoHS Compliant status. The 87520-3012BLF offers black insulation, while 87520-1010BLF also provides black insulation with identical electrical performance.

For applications with lower cycle requirements, the 87520-0010BLF and 87520-0012BLF offer 1500 mating cycles with white insulation and RoHS Compliant status, suitable for cost-optimized designs with reduced mechanical durability demands.

For applications requiring extended mechanical durability, the 87520-3S10BPLF provides 15000 mating cycles with ROHS3 Compliant status and black insulation, supporting long-lifecycle products and high-reliability applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all substitute parts functionally interchangeable with the 87520-3012BLF?

A: Yes, all substitute parts are functionally interchangeable for USB 2.0 applications. All parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, mounting method, current rating, operating temperature range, and contact finish specifications. Differences in mating cycle ratings, insulation color, and regulatory compliance status do not affect functional compatibility in standard USB 2.0 circuits.

Q: What is the difference between the mating cycle ratings?

A: Mating cycle ratings indicate the mechanical durability of the connector under repeated insertion and removal. The 87520-3012BLF and 87520-1010BLF support 5000 cycles, the 87520-0010BLF and 87520-0012BLF support 1500 cycles, and the 87520-3S10BPLF supports 15000 cycles. Selection should match the expected number of connection cycles in the application.

Q: Does insulation color affect electrical performance?

A: No. Insulation color (black or white) is a cosmetic and identification feature only. It does not affect electrical performance, current rating, or signal integrity. Selection between black and white insulation is based on design aesthetics or internal documentation standards.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with lead-free and hazardous substance restrictions. ROHS3 Compliant represents compliance with the most recent RoHS 3 directive. All parts meet current regulatory requirements for lead-free manufacturing and restricted substance compliance.

Q: Can I substitute a part with lower mating cycles for one with higher mating cycles?

A: Substitution is possible only if the application's actual insertion cycle count does not exceed the lower-rated part's specification. For example, the 87520-0010BLF (1500 cycles) can replace the 87520-3S10BPLF (15000 cycles) only in applications with fewer than 1500 expected cycles. Reverse substitution (higher cycles for lower cycles) is always acceptable.

Q: Are all parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes, all substitute parts are supplied in tube packaging, consistent with the main part number 87520-3012BLF.
