KUSBX-AP-KIT-SCBLK USB-A Plug Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KUSBX-AP-KIT-SCBLK is a USB-A (USB TYPE-A) plug connector manufactured by Kycon, Inc., designed as a 4-position free hanging (in-line) solder cup termination connector. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The connector features shielded construction with gold-plated contacts, rated for 1.5A at 30VAC, and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KUSBX-AP-KIT-SCBLK 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

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: KUSBX-AP-KIT-SCBLK-1 (manufacturer recommended, active status) and KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC (parametric equivalent, obsolete status). Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the allowed parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs and procurement, KUSBX-AP-KIT-SCBLK-1 is the primary substitute. This part carries active product status from the manufacturer, ensuring ongoing availability and support. It maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters equivalent to the obsolete KUSBX-AP-KIT-SCBLK, with the additional benefit of an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -55°C to 85°C) and dual voltage rating capability (30VAC/DC versus 30VAC). Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC serves as a secondary parametric equivalent for applications where insulation color differentiation is not a design constraint. This part is also obsolete; however, it maintains electrical and mechanical equivalence across all critical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters: 4-position USB-A plug connector, solder cup termination, 1.5A current rating, 30VAC minimum voltage rating, shielded construction, gold-plated contacts, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. KUSBX-AP-KIT-SCBLK-1 offers extended temperature range capability and active product status.

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

A: Both are parametrically equivalent to the main part. KUSBX-AP-KIT-SCBLK-1 has active product status and black insulation color, while KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC is obsolete with white insulation color. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does insulation color affect connector compatibility?

A: Insulation color does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection between black (KUSBX-AP-KIT-SCBLK-1) and white (KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC) insulation is based on design documentation and assembly requirements only.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. KUSBX-AP-KIT-SCBLK-1 and KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC are both RoHS compliant, matching the compliance status of the main part.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: KUSBX-AP-KIT-SC is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging specifications for KUSBX-AP-KIT-SCBLK and KUSBX-AP-KIT-SCBLK-1 are not specified in the provided parameters.
