Amphenol ICC 87520-5010ALF USB 2.0 Type-A Receptacle Connector

Part Overview

The 87520-5010ALF is an Amphenol ICC USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle connector designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This 4-position connector features a 3A current rating, board lock mechanism, and gold-plated GXT™ contacts rated for 1500 mating cycles. The connector is RoHS compliant, MSL 1 rated, and operates across the -55°C to 85°C temperature range. As an active product with 902 units in stock, equivalent substitute parts are available to accommodate different packaging requirements, higher mating cycle ratings, and alternative insulation colors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 87520-5010ALF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (USB-A receptacle), number of contacts (4), gender (receptacle), USB specification (2.0), mounting configuration (through hole, right angle), current rating (3A), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), contact finish (gold, GXT™), and RoHS compliance status.

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category 1: Packaging Variation (Cut Tape) Parts 87520-0010ALF and 87520-1010ALF differ only in packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) and insulation color. These maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part.

Category 2: Enhanced Mating Cycle Rating (Tape & Reel) Parts 87520-3010APBLF and 87520-3010APLF provide increased mating cycle ratings (5000 cycles vs. 1500 cycles) while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical parameters. These parts are suitable for applications requiring extended connector lifespan.

All substitute parts share the same base product number (87520), series designation, shell material (copper alloy), shielding configuration (unshielded), termination method (solder), and board lock feature.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and RoHS compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the main part specification. Selection between substitute options depends on application-specific requirements:

For packaging-driven selection: Parts 87520-0010ALF and 87520-1010ALF are suitable when cut tape packaging is required for automated assembly processes. The 87520-0010ALF features white insulation, while 87520-1010ALF maintains black insulation matching the original part.

For extended lifecycle applications: Parts 87520-3010APBLF and 87520-3010APLF provide 5000 mating cycles, compared to 1500 cycles in the main part. These are appropriate for applications requiring higher connector durability and extended service life. Both maintain tape & reel packaging and black insulation.

For inventory availability: The 87520-0010ALF offers the highest stock level (7386 units), followed by 87520-1010ALF (4063 units), providing supply chain flexibility for high-volume production requirements.

All parts share identical electrical performance, temperature ratings, current capacity, and compliance certifications, ensuring functional interchangeability within the specified parameter boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 87520-0010ALF be used as a direct replacement for 87520-5010ALF? A: Yes, 87520-0010ALF is electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary difference is packaging format (cut tape vs. tape & reel) and insulation color (white vs. black). Functional performance and electrical specifications are identical.

Q: What is the advantage of selecting 87520-1010ALF or the 87520-3010 series? A: Parts 87520-1010ALF, 87520-3010APBLF, and 87520-3010APLF offer 5000 mating cycles compared to 1500 cycles in the main part. This extended rating is beneficial for applications with frequent connector engagement and disengagement cycles.

Q: Does insulation color affect electrical performance? A: No. Insulation color (black vs. white) is a cosmetic variation and does not impact electrical characteristics, current rating, or operational specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance status, ensuring regulatory conformance for applications requiring restricted substance compliance.

Q: Which packaging format should be selected for automated assembly? A: Cut tape packaging (87520-0010ALF, 87520-1010ALF) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Tape & reel packaging (87520-3010APBLF, 87520-3010APLF, 87520-5010ALF) is suitable for both manual and automated assembly with reel-fed systems.

Q: Can substitute parts be mixed in the same assembly? A: Yes. All substitute parts are functionally equivalent and can be used interchangeably within the same design. However, maintaining consistent packaging and insulation color specifications may be preferred for manufacturing traceability and documentation purposes.
