Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC-30 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
  • Number of Contacts: 4
  • Gender: Plug
  • Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
  • Termination: Solder Cup
  • Current Rating: 1.5A minimum
  • Voltage Rating: 30VAC minimum
  • Shielding: Shielded
  • Contact Finish: Gold
  • Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
  • RoHS Compliance: Required

Substitute parts must maintain all electrical and mechanical parameters within or exceeding the original specification. Operating temperature range may be extended in active alternatives without affecting substitution validity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC-30-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence while offering an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -55°C to 85°C) and dual voltage rating capability (30VAC/DC). The part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Steel shell/shielding material is specified, providing enhanced mechanical robustness compared to the original.

KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC serves as a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range to the original part. This part is also obsolete but maintains full compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability and RoHS requirements. Selection between these alternatives depends on procurement availability and supply chain strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC-30-1 be used as a direct replacement for KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC-30?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical connector type, contact count, gender, mounting configuration, termination method, current rating, and shielding specifications. The substitute offers extended temperature range and dual voltage rating, making it functionally compatible for all applications within the original part's operating envelope.

Q: What is the difference between KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC-30-1 and KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC?

A: KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC-30-1 is the active product with extended temperature capability (-55°C to 105°C) and dual voltage rating (30VAC/DC). KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC is an obsolete parametric equivalent with the original temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) and single voltage rating (30VAC). Both are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the original part.

Q: Are packaging differences significant for substitution?

A: The original part is specified with kit packaging, while KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on procurement quantity requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Does the steel shell material in KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC-30-1 affect compatibility?

A: No. The shell material change from unspecified to steel does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit. Steel shielding provides equivalent or improved electromagnetic shielding performance and mechanical durability.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC-30 and KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC are explicitly RoHS compliant. KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC-30-1 RoHS status is not specified in the provided data. Verification with the manufacturer is recommended if RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement for your application.
