Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A are identified based on strict parameter matching across the following criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB - mini A
• Number of Contacts: 5
• Gender: Receptacle
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Guide, Solder Retention
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Number of Ports: 1
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Identified Substitutes:

1. MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A (Samtec Inc.) - Parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differs only in shell/shielding material composition (Copper Alloy) and insulation color (Black). Maintains all functional parameters for direct substitution.

2. MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A (Samtec Inc.) - Parametric equivalent with identical core connector specifications. Introduces specified operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 85°C), rated voltage (30V), and mating cycle rating (1500). Shell material is Brass rather than Copper Alloy, and insulation color is Orange. Suitable for applications requiring defined thermal and electrical performance parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A Selection Criteria:

This substitute is appropriate for applications where the MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A is unavailable and design specifications do not require defined operating temperature ranges or rated voltage parameters. Both parts maintain identical USB 2.0 interface compliance, ROHS3 certification, and mechanical form factor. Material composition differences (Copper Alloy shell) do not affect electrical performance for standard USB 2.0 applications. Current inventory availability (996 Pcs) supports production requirements.

MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A Selection Criteria:

This substitute is appropriate for applications requiring specified operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 85°C), rated voltage (30V), and defined mating cycle performance (1500 cycles). The MUSBR series provides explicit electrical and thermal parameters suitable for industrial or extended-temperature environments. Brass shell material and Orange insulation color distinguish this variant. ROHS3 compliance and USB 2.0 specifications are maintained. Current inventory availability (936 Pcs) supports production requirements.

General Selection Logic:

All three parts maintain identical USB 2.0 interface specifications, 5-position receptacle configuration, surface mount right-angle orientation, and solder termination. Selection between MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A and substitutes depends on parameter specification requirements and material composition preferences. ROHS3 compliance is consistent across all variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A be used as a direct replacement for MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (USB 2.0), mechanical form factor (5-position receptacle, surface mount right-angle), termination method (solder), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). The primary difference is shell material composition (Copper Alloy in both cases) and insulation color (Black). No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A and MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A?

A: The MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A provides specified operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 85°C), rated voltage (30V), and mating cycle rating (1500), whereas the MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A does not specify these parameters. Shell material differs (Brass vs. Copper Alloy) and insulation color differs (Orange vs. Black). All core USB 2.0 interface specifications and mechanical mounting characteristics remain identical.

Q: Are all three 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. Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0) is specified for MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A and MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A is appropriate for applications requiring defined operating temperature performance. This part specifies an operating temperature range of -50°C ~ 85°C. MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A and MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A do not specify operating temperature parameters.

Q: Do all parts support the same number of mating cycles?

A: MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A specifies 1500 mating cycles. MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A and MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A do not specify mating cycle ratings in the provided data.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: All three parts are supplied in Tray packaging. No packaging format differences exist between MUSB-05-F-A-SM-A, MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A, and MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for all parts?

A: All three parts feature Gold contact finish, ensuring consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance across substitution options.
