Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FGW.LM.U2A.XPAT and USBFTV6ZN are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, qualifying them for use in regulated applications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Manufacturer availability and lead time requirements
• Current inventory levels (FGW.LM.U2A.XPAT: 868 units; USBFTV6ZN: 837 units)
• Supply chain continuity and qualification status within your organization
• Mating cycle requirements (USBFTV6ZN specifies 500 mating cycles; FGW.LM.U2A.XPAT specification not provided)

Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for USB 2.0 Type-A plug applications with IP68 environmental protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can USBFTV6ZN be used as a direct replacement for FGW.LM.U2A.XPAT?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, USB protocol, contact count, gender, mounting configuration, termination method, coupling feature, and ingress protection rating. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges?

A: The FGW.LM.U2A.XPAT does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. The USBFTV6ZN specifies -40°C to 85°C. Verify temperature requirements for your application before selection.

Q: What is the significance of the circular threaded coupling feature?

A: The circular threaded coupling provides mechanical retention and environmental sealing for the connector interface, supporting the IP68 ingress protection rating. Both substitute parts include this feature.

Q: How do mating cycle ratings affect part selection?

A: The USBFTV6ZN specifies 500 mating cycles. The FGW.LM.U2A.XPAT mating cycle rating is not provided. For applications requiring frequent connection/disconnection cycles, the specified 500 cycles for USBFTV6ZN establishes a known operational limit.

Q: Are both parts suitable for sealed enclosure applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors carry IP68 ingress protection certification, indicating dust-tight and waterproof performance suitable for sealed enclosure environments.

Q: What packaging format is available for both parts?

A: Both FGW.LM.U2A.XPAT and USBFTV6ZN are supplied in bulk packaging.
