Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the Amphenol ICC 87520 series is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (USB-A receptacle), contact count (4 positions), USB specification (2.0), 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 regulatory compliance (RoHS, REACH, ECCN EAR99).

Substitute parts 87520-0010ALF, 87520-1010ALF, 87520-3010APBLF, and 87520-3010APLF maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations exist in packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel), insulation color (white versus black), and mating cycle rating (1500 versus 5000 cycles). These variations do not affect functional compatibility in applications requiring USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle connectivity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and full compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations. Selection between 87520-4010ALF and its substitutes is determined by packaging requirements and mechanical durability specifications.

For applications requiring Tape & Reel packaging with standard mating cycle rating, 87520-4010ALF (white insulation, 1500 cycles) is the primary selection. Part 87520-0010ALF provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance in Cut Tape packaging with identical mating cycle rating and white insulation color.

For applications requiring extended mating cycle durability (5000 cycles), parts 87520-1010ALF, 87520-3010APBLF, and 87520-3010APLF are suitable. Part 87520-1010ALF is available in Cut Tape packaging with black insulation. Parts 87520-3010APBLF and 87520-3010APLF are available in Tape & Reel packaging with black insulation, with the latter offering higher inventory availability.

All parts share identical electrical specifications, current rating, temperature range, contact finish, and regulatory compliance status. Substitution is functionally transparent for USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 87520-0010ALF replace 87520-4010ALF in production? A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent USB 2.0 Type-A receptacles with identical electrical specifications, current rating, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is packaging format: 87520-4010ALF is supplied in Tape & Reel, while 87520-0010ALF is supplied in Cut Tape. Selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the mating cycle rating difference? A: The 87520-4010ALF and 87520-0010ALF are rated for 1500 mating cycles. Parts 87520-1010ALF, 87520-3010APBLF, and 87520-3010APLF are rated for 5000 mating cycles. This specification indicates mechanical durability under repeated connection and disconnection. Applications requiring higher connection frequency should use the 5000-cycle variants.

Q: Does insulation color affect electrical performance? A: No. Insulation color (white versus black) is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical performance, current rating, or USB 2.0 compliance. Selection is based on design documentation or assembly requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant? A: Yes. All parts in this comparison—87520-4010ALF, 87520-0010ALF, 87520-1010ALF, 87520-3010APBLF, and 87520-3010APLF—are RoHS compliant and REACH affected. All meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and carry ECCN EAR99 classification.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production? A: For Tape & Reel packaging, 87520-3010APLF offers the highest inventory availability (801 pcs) among the 5000-cycle variants. For Cut Tape packaging, 87520-0010ALF provides the highest inventory (7386 pcs) with standard 1500-cycle rating. Selection depends on production volume, packaging preference, and mating cycle requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB? A: Yes. All parts share identical through-hole, right-angle, horizontal mounting configuration and solder termination. PCB footprints are compatible across all variants. Substitution requires no design modification.
