• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Ingress Protection: IP67
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C ~ 85°C
• Number of Ports: 1
• Mating Cycles: 10000
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Shell/Shielding Material: Steel, Stainless
• Insulation Color: Black

The MUC-20PFFR-JS7001 shares the same base product number (MUC-20PFFR) with its substitute, confirming core mechanical and electrical compatibility. The substitute part maintains all critical functional parameters while offering improved product status and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MUC-20PFFR-JS7002 is the direct substitute for the obsolete MUC-20PFFR-JS7001. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including connector type, contact configuration, mounting orientation, and environmental protection rating.

Product Status Consideration: The MUC-20PFFR-JS7001 is classified as obsolete, while the MUC-20PFFR-JS7002 maintains active product status. For new designs and ongoing production, the MUC-20PFFR-JS7002 is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term supply chain continuity and manufacturer support.

Compliance Advantage: The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification compared to RoHS compliance for the main part, representing enhanced regulatory alignment. The substitute also includes REACH Unaffected status, providing additional environmental compliance documentation.

Mechanical Differentiation: The primary mechanical distinction is the mounting feature: the main part includes a Board Guide, while the substitute incorporates a Board Lock mechanism. Both features serve to secure the connector to the PCB during assembly; the Board Lock provides enhanced retention characteristics.

Current Rating Documentation: The substitute part explicitly specifies current ratings of 1A and 1.8A, whereas the main part does not document this parameter. This specification clarification in the substitute part provides additional design verification data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MUC-20PFFR-JS7002 be used as a direct replacement for MUC-20PFFR-JS7001 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical USB 2.0 micro AB receptacle specifications, 5-contact configuration, surface mount right-angle mounting, IP67 ingress protection, and operating temperature range. The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable at the PCB interface level.

Q: What is the difference between Board Guide and Board Lock features?

A: Board Guide and Board Lock are both mechanical retention features that secure the connector to the printed circuit board. The Board Lock mechanism in the substitute part provides enhanced positional retention during assembly and operation compared to the Board Guide in the main part.

Q: Why is the substitute part listed as Active while the main part is Obsolete?

A: Product status reflects the manufacturer's current production and support status. The obsolete designation for MUC-20PFFR-JS7001 indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production. The MUC-20PFFR-JS7002 remains in active production, ensuring availability for new orders and ongoing supply.

Q: Are the current ratings specified for MUC-20PFFR-JS7002 (1A, 1.8A) applicable to MUC-20PFFR-JS7001?

A: The main part does not specify current rating parameters in the provided documentation. The substitute part explicitly documents 1A and 1.8A current ratings. For applications requiring current rating verification, the substitute part's documented specifications should be referenced.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same environmental protection standards?

A: Yes. Both MUC-20PFFR-JS7001 and MUC-20PFFR-JS7002 are rated IP67, providing equivalent dust-tight and waterproof protection. Both operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 85°C and support 10000 mating cycles.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance versus RoHS compliance?

A: ROHS3 represents the current version of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, incorporating the most recent regulatory requirements. The substitute part's ROHS3 certification indicates compliance with the latest environmental standards, while the main part carries the earlier RoHS designation.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these two connectors?

A: Both connectors are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, standard for surface mount component distribution. Packaging specifications are identical between the two parts.
