Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the A-USB/2-A-LP are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Number of Contacts: 4 positions
• Gender: Plug
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Insulation Color: Black

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Current Rating: Minimum 1.0A (main part rated 1.5A)
• Operating Temperature Range: Overlap with -55°C to 85°C specification
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 or equivalent
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment
• REACH Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment

All four substitute parts meet the primary matching criteria. Variations in operating temperature range, current rating, and voltage specifications are noted in the parameter comparison table for design consideration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status (where specified), ensuring regulatory alignment with the A-USB/2-A-LP reference part.

0480370001 (Molex): This part provides equivalent current rating (1.5A) and mating cycle specification (1500 cycles) to the main part. Operating temperature range is -20°C to 85°C, which covers the upper portion of the main part specification. Voltage rating of 150VAC is specified. This part is suitable for applications where the full -55°C lower temperature limit is not required.

RAHPCUA20E (Switchcraft Inc.): This part meets all primary matching criteria with a current rating of 1.0A and operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C. The lower current rating should be considered for applications requiring the full 1.5A specification of the main part. Material flammability rating is not specified in available data.

USB-AM-S-F-B-TH-R (Samtec Inc.): This part provides the widest operating temperature range (-50°C to 85°C) among substitutes and matches the mating cycle specification (1500 cycles) of the main part. Current rating is not specified. Shell/shielding material is phosphor bronze rather than steel. Voltage rating is 30VAC. This part is suitable for extended low-temperature applications.

USB-AP-S-RA (Adam Tech): This part meets all primary matching criteria with a current rating of 1.0A and operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. The upper temperature limit of 60°C is lower than the main part specification of 85°C and should be considered for high-temperature applications. Voltage rating is 30VAC.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0480370001 (Molex) substitute for the A-USB/2-A-LP in all applications?

A: The 0480370001 is functionally equivalent for applications within the operating temperature range of -20°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -20°C require the A-USB/2-A-LP or USB-AM-S-F-B-TH-R. Current rating and mating cycle specifications are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between RAHPCUA20E and the main part?

A: The RAHPCUA20E has a current rating of 1.0A compared to the main part's 1.5A rating. This part is suitable for applications with current requirements up to 1.0A. All other primary connector specifications are equivalent.

Q: Is the USB-AM-S-F-B-TH-R suitable for low-temperature applications?

A: Yes. The USB-AM-S-F-B-TH-R has an operating temperature range of -50°C to 85°C, providing extended low-temperature capability compared to the main part's -55°C to 85°C range. This part is suitable for applications requiring operation down to -50°C.

Q: What are the temperature limitations of the USB-AP-S-RA?

A: The USB-AP-S-RA has an operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. This part is not suitable for applications requiring operation above 60°C or below -20°C. The main part A-USB/2-A-LP is required for applications with temperature requirements outside this range.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, matching the regulatory compliance status of the main part A-USB/2-A-LP.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same shell material?

A: No. The A-USB/2-A-LP, 0480370001, RAHPCUA20E, and USB-AP-S-RA use steel shell material. The USB-AM-S-F-B-TH-R uses phosphor bronze shell material. Both materials are suitable for shielded USB 2.0 connectors.

Q: What is the inventory availability of these parts?

A: A-USB/2-A-LP: 914 Pcs; 0480370001: 21,106 Pcs; RAHPCUA20E: 1,572 Pcs; USB-AM-S-F-B-TH-R: 990 Pcs; USB-AP-S-RA: 13,208 Pcs.

Q: Are mating cycle specifications available for all parts?

A: Mating cycle specifications are provided for A-USB/2-A-LP (1500 cycles) and USB-AM-S-F-B-TH-R (1500 cycles). Mating cycle data is not specified for 0480370001, RAHPCUA20E, and USB-AP-S-RA.
