Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the A-USB A-2P-C are classified into two functional categories based on provided electrical and mechanical parameters:

Category 1: Full Parametric Equivalent (8-Position, Dual-Port)

The part AU-Y1008-2-BLK from Assmann WSW Components matches all critical parameters of the main part: 8 contacts, 2 ports, USB 2.0 specification, through-hole right-angle mounting, 1.5A current rating, -55°C to 85°C operating temperature, shielded construction, gold contact finish, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The only variation is shell/shielding material (Steel, Stainless instead of Brass), which does not affect electrical or functional compatibility.

Category 2: Parametric Substitutes (4-Position, Single-Port)

The remaining substitute parts (AUSB1-4600, CU01SAH0S00, CU01SAH1S00-NH, GSB12110RSKEU, GSB12120RSKEU, GSB12121031EU, GSB1212103EU, GSB12121RSKEU, GSB12121RSKHR) feature 4 contacts and single-port configuration. These parts share the following common parameters with the main part: USB 2.0 specification, receptacle gender, through-hole right-angle mounting, horizontal mounting feature, solder termination, shielded construction, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Current ratings range from 1A to 1.5A, and operating temperatures span -40°C to 85°C. These substitutes are applicable only in applications where single-port USB connectivity is acceptable and contact count reduction is compatible with circuit design requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Dual-Port Applications):

AU-Y1008-2-BLK from Assmann WSW Components is the only full parametric equivalent. This part maintains identical electrical specifications (USB 2.0, 8 contacts, 2 ports, 1.5A current rating) and mechanical configuration (through-hole right-angle, horizontal mounting, solder termination). Operating temperature range matches the main part (-55°C to 85°C). Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Shell material differs (Steel, Stainless versus Brass), but this variation does not affect functional performance or electrical characteristics. This substitute is suitable for direct PCB layout replacement without design modification.

For Single-Port Applications:

Substitutes in Category 2 are applicable only when circuit design permits reduction from dual-port to single-port configuration. Among these options:

GSB12121RSKEU (Amphenol ICC) offers the broadest compatibility: 1.5A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, 1500 mating cycles, gold contact finish, and ROHS3 compliance with REACH Unaffected status. This part is suitable for applications requiring extended temperature performance and high reliability.

GSB12110RSKEU and GSB12120RSKEU provide equivalent electrical performance to GSB12121RSKEU with identical current ratings and temperature ranges but carry REACH Affected status.

CU01SAH0S00 and CU01SAH1S00-NH (Cvilux USA) feature reduced current rating (1A) and narrower operating temperature range (-40°C to 60°C), limiting application scope to lower-power, temperature-constrained environments.

AUSB1-4600 (Allied Components International) provides 1.5A current rating and -55°C to 85°C operating temperature but lacks specified contact finish and mating cycle data.

All Category 2 substitutes maintain shielded construction, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 classification, ensuring compliance with standard electronic assembly requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can AU-Y1008-2-BLK replace A-USB A-2P-C without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. AU-Y1008-2-BLK is a full parametric equivalent with matching contact count (8), port count (2), USB 2.0 specification, current rating (1.5A), operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C), and mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle horizontal). The only difference is shell material (Steel, Stainless versus Brass), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit. No PCB layout modification is required.

Q2: Why do Category 2 substitutes have only 4 contacts instead of 8?

A: Category 2 parts are single-port USB-A receptors with 4-position contact configuration, compared to the dual-port 8-position design of the main part. These substitutes are functionally different and applicable only in applications where single-port USB connectivity is acceptable. Circuit design must be modified to accommodate the reduced contact count and single-port functionality.

Q3: What is the significance of operating temperature range differences?

A: The main part A-USB A-2P-C operates from -55°C to 85°C. AU-Y1008-2-BLK matches this range exactly. Category 2 substitutes operate within -40°C to 85°C (Amphenol ICC and AUSB1-4600 series) or -40°C to 60°C (Cvilux USA series). Selection must align with application temperature requirements. Applications requiring -55°C minimum temperature operation must use A-USB A-2P-C or AU-Y1008-2-BLK.

Q4: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification. However, REACH status varies: AU-Y1008-2-BLK, AUSB1-4600, Cvilux USA parts, and GSB12121RSKEU are REACH Unaffected; GSB12110RSKEU, GSB12120RSKEU, GSB12121031EU, and GSB1212103EU are REACH Affected. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your specific application and regulatory jurisdiction before final part selection.

Q5: What is the difference between GSB12121RSKEU and GSB12121RSKHR?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications (USB 2.0, 4 contacts, 1.5A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, 1500 mating cycles, gold contact finish, UL94 V-0 rating). The difference is shell/shielding material: GSB12121RSKEU uses Copper Alloy; GSB12121RSKHR uses Steel (SUS304). Material selection may affect corrosion resistance and mechanical durability in specific environmental conditions. Verify material compatibility with application requirements.

Q6: Can CU01SAH0S00 and CU01SAH1S00-NH be used interchangeably?

A: Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications (USB 2.0, 4 contacts, 1A current rating, -40°C to 60°C operating temperature, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, gold contact finish). The only difference is insulation color (White versus Black). Interchangeability depends on whether insulation color is a design or assembly requirement. If color is not specified, either part is functionally equivalent.

Q7: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for component handling?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited floor life. These connectors do not require special moisture-controlled storage or baking procedures before soldering. Standard warehouse storage conditions are acceptable. All listed parts carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture-related handling constraints.

Q8: How many mating cycles are specified for each part?

A: A-USB A-2P-C and AU-Y1008-2-BLK specify 1500 mating cycles. Amphenol ICC parts (GSB series) specify 1500 mating cycles. Cvilux USA parts (CU01 series) and AUSB1-4600 do not specify mating cycle data. For applications requiring high connector insertion/removal cycles, select parts with documented 1500-cycle rating.

Q9: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: AU-Y1008-2-BLK has 1991 pieces in stock. AUSB1-4600 has 3174 pieces. CU01SAH1S00-NH has 10692 pieces (highest availability). GSB12121RSKEU has 4589 pieces. Other GSB variants range from 1848 to 4987 pieces. Inventory levels support procurement planning but are subject to change. Verify current availability with supplier before finalizing purchase orders.

Q10: Are there any compliance certifications beyond ROHS3 and UL94 V-0?

A: All parts carry ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. REACH status is documented for each part. No additional certifications (such as ISO, IEC, or industry-specific standards) are specified in the provided data. Consult manufacturer datasheets for additional compliance documentation if required by application standards or regulatory requirements.
