Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The A-USBPB-3 serves as a direct substitute for the A-USBPB-3-R based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & USB Specification: Both parts are USB-B Type-B plug connectors rated for USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) operation
• Electrical Configuration: Identical 9-position contact count and 1A current rating
• Mechanical Interface: Both feature free-hanging (in-line) mounting with solder termination
• Physical Properties: Matching gold contact finish and steel shell material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Operating Conditions: Identical temperature range (-20°C to 85°C)

The primary distinction is product status: A-USBPB-3-R is obsolete while A-USBPB-3 is active, with A-USBPB-3 offering superior procurement availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The A-USBPB-3 is the appropriate selection for applications currently specified with A-USBPB-3-R connectors. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional compatibility. The A-USBPB-3 offers the advantage of active product status with ongoing manufacturer support and improved supply chain availability. Both parts comply with REACH regulations and carry EAR99 export classification. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) are maintained across both variants, supporting equivalent reliability in target applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can A-USBPB-3 directly replace A-USBPB-3-R in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (USB 3.2 Gen 1, 9-position, 1A rating), mechanical configuration (free-hanging solder termination), and physical properties (gold contacts, steel shell, UL94 V-0). No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from A-USBPB-3-R to A-USBPB-3?

A: The A-USBPB-3-R is classified as obsolete, while A-USBPB-3 maintains active product status. This transition ensures continued procurement availability and manufacturer support.
