Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle connectors is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Gender: Must be USB-A receptacle
• Contact Configuration: Must be 4-position
• USB Specification: Must support USB 2.0
• Mounting Method: Must be through-hole, right-angle configuration
• Mounting Feature: Must include vertical flag for PCB mounting
• Termination: Must be solder-compatible
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 1.5A
• Operating Temperature: Must encompass -55°C to 85°C range
• Material Compliance: Must meet UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Contact Finish: Gold plating required for signal integrity

All substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring functional compatibility with designs originally specified for the A-USB/2-A-E-R.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

A-USB/2-A-E (Assmann WSW Components)

This part is the direct successor to the A-USB/2-A-E-R, sharing identical electrical and mechanical specifications. It is currently in active production status with significantly higher inventory availability (9,386 units). RoHS3 compliance is confirmed. This represents the primary recommended substitute for direct replacement applications.

A-USB A-E (Assmann WSW Components)

This parametric equivalent maintains all critical functional parameters required for USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle applications. Active product status and RoHS3 compliance are confirmed. Inventory availability is 6,970 units. This part is suitable for applications where the base product number variant is acceptable.

1002-014-01000 (CNC Tech)

This cross-manufacturer substitute from CNC Tech meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements. It is actively produced with the highest inventory level (21,341 units) among all substitutes. RoHS3 compliance is confirmed. The shell/shielding material includes both brass and steel. This option provides excellent supply chain redundancy.

USB-A-S-S-W-VU (Samtec Inc.)

This parametric equivalent from Samtec Inc. satisfies all critical substitution parameters. Operating temperature range is -50°C to 85°C, which covers the primary operating window of the original part. Active product status and RoHS3 compliance are confirmed. The shell/shielding material is phosphor bronze. Current rating is not specified in available documentation. This option is suitable for applications where the lower temperature limit of -50°C is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use A-USB/2-A-E as a direct replacement for A-USB/2-A-E-R?

A: Yes. The A-USB/2-A-E is the direct successor part with identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and performance characteristics. It is the recommended primary substitute.

Q: What is the difference between A-USB/2-A-E and A-USB A-E?

A: Both parts are Assmann WSW Components USB 2.0 Type-A receptacles with identical functional parameters. The difference lies in the base product number designation. Both are active, RoHS3 compliant, and suitable for equivalent applications.

Q: Can I substitute a CNC Tech 1002-014-01000 for the Assmann part?

A: Yes. The 1002-014-01000 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. It is a cross-manufacturer substitute with active production status and RoHS3 compliance. The primary consideration is supply chain qualification and design validation for your specific application.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference in the Samtec part?

A: The Samtec USB-A-S-S-W-VU operates from -50°C to 85°C, compared to -55°C to 85°C for the original part. If your application requires operation below -50°C, this part is not suitable. For applications within the -50°C to 85°C range, it is functionally equivalent.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are confirmed RoHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: A-USB/2-A-E and A-USB A-E are supplied in Tray packaging. The 1002-014-01000 is supplied in Tray packaging. The USB-A-S-S-W-VU is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with your procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Is the current rating specification critical for substitution?

A: The current rating of 1.5A is a core parameter for USB 2.0 Type-A receptacles. All substitutes except USB-A-S-S-W-VU explicitly specify 1.5A rating. For the Samtec part, current rating is not documented in available specifications. If your application requires confirmed 1.5A rating, prioritize parts with explicit current specifications.
