Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Samtec Inc.
• Base Product Number: MUSB-05
• Connector Type: USB - mini A
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Number of Contacts: 5 Position
• Gender: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute parts MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A and MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A share these core parameters with the main part, establishing their equivalence within the MUSB-05 product family. Both substitutes maintain the same connector interface standard, contact configuration, and surface mount orientation required for direct replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A, MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A, and MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A—maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, confirming their suitability for current design implementations and regulatory requirements.

The MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A offers the highest current inventory level at 996 pieces, providing supply chain flexibility. The MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A provides additional operational specifications including operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 85°C), rated voltage (30V), and mating cycle rating (1500), which may be relevant for applications requiring extended environmental performance documentation.

Selection between substitute parts should be based on inventory availability, specific application environmental requirements, and supply chain lead time considerations. All parts share identical core connector specifications and mounting characteristics, ensuring functional interchangeability within the defined parameter set.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A directly replace MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (USB - mini A), contact configuration (5 Position), mounting orientation (Surface Mount, Right Angle), and USB 2.0 specifications. The parts are functionally equivalent within the MUSB-05 product family.

Q: What is the difference between MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A and MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A?

A: Both parts maintain equivalent core connector specifications. MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A provides documented operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 85°C), rated voltage (30V), and mating cycle specification (1500). Shell material differs: MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A uses Copper Alloy; MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A uses Brass. Insulation color also differs: Black versus Orange respectively.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A, MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A, and MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What packaging format is used for these connectors?

A: All three parts are supplied in Tray packaging, consistent with standard surface mount component handling and assembly processes.

Q: Can these Mini USB 2.0 connectors be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, within the constraints of the provided specifications. All parts are 5-position USB - mini A receptacles with surface mount, right-angle orientation and solder termination. Functional interchangeability is established by matching connector type, contact count, mounting configuration, and USB 2.0 specification compliance.
