Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AU-Y1006-2 (Assmann WSW Components)

This substitute demonstrates complete parameter alignment with the A-USB A/SMT across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share identical connector architecture, current rating, mating cycle rating, and thermal operating range. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are maintained. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the main part is unavailable.

1002-002-01100 (CNC Tech)

This substitute maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the A-USB A/SMT for the majority of applications. The operating temperature range is reduced to -55°C ~ 50°C compared to the main part's -55°C ~ 85°C specification. The part includes a rated voltage specification of 30V. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are maintained. Selection of this part requires confirmation that the application's maximum operating temperature does not exceed 50°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AU-Y1006-2 be used as a direct replacement for A-USB A/SMT?

A: Yes. AU-Y1006-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical parameters across all critical specifications, including connector type, contact count, current rating, mating cycles, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. The only noted difference is insulation color (Black vs. White), which does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Q: What is the key limitation of 1002-002-01100 as a substitute?

A: The operating temperature range of 1002-002-01100 is limited to -55°C ~ 50°C, compared to the A-USB A/SMT's -55°C ~ 85°C range. Applications requiring operation above 50°C must use AU-Y1006-2 or the original A-USB A/SMT.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both AU-Y1006-2 and 1002-002-01100 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the main part A-USB A/SMT.

Q: What is the significance of the Board Lock feature?

A: Board Lock is a mechanical retention feature present on all three parts (main and substitutes) that secures the connector to the PCB during assembly and operation, preventing accidental disconnection.

Q: Do all parts support the same current rating?

A: Yes. All three parts (A-USB A/SMT, AU-Y1006-2, and 1002-002-01100) are rated for 1.5A continuous current and support 1500 mating cycles.

Q: What packaging format is used for these connectors?

A: All parts are supplied in Tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes and component handling.
