Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts within the MUSB series are determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Specifications: USB - mini B, USB 2.0 standard
• Electrical Configuration: 5-position receptacle with 30V rated voltage
• Mechanical Interface: Surface mount, right-angle, horizontal mounting orientation
• Termination Method: Solder termination with board guide and solder retention features
• Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature -50°C ~ 85°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS3 compliance

The substitute part MUSB-05-S-B-SM-A-K maintains all critical parameters, differing only in specific connector variant designation and packaging inventory levels. Both parts share the same base product number (MUSB-05) and are manufactured by Samtec Inc.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MUSB-05-F-B-SM-A-R-K and MUSB-05-S-B-SM-A-K are active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Product Availability: MUSB-05-S-B-SM-A-K maintains higher inventory levels (1563 units) compared to MUSB-05-F-B-SM-A-R-K (1073 units), which may influence procurement timelines for high-volume applications.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for consumer and industrial applications.

Functional Equivalence: The connectors are functionally equivalent across all critical parameters including USB 2.0 specification compliance, 30V rated voltage, 1500 mating cycle rating, and -50°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MUSB-05-F-B-SM-A-R-K and MUSB-05-S-B-SM-A-K electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including USB 2.0 compliance, 5-position contact configuration, 30V rated voltage, and gold contact finish. They are electrically interchangeable within the specified operating parameters.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ in their variant designation (F versus S designation), which reflects internal Samtec product line differentiation. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent. Inventory levels differ, with MUSB-05-S-B-SM-A-K currently maintaining higher stock availability.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring high mating cycle counts?

A: Both connectors are rated for 1500 mating cycles. Applications requiring higher cycle counts should be evaluated against this specification limit.

Q: Are both parts suitable for surface mount assembly?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature surface mount, right-angle, horizontal mounting orientation with solder termination. They include board guide and solder retention features for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Q: Do these connectors meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both MUSB-05-F-B-SM-A-R-K and MUSB-05-S-B-SM-A-K are RoHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both connectors operate across the temperature range of -50°C to 85°C, suitable for industrial and consumer applications within this thermal envelope.
