Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MUSB-05-S-AB-SM-A-TR is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: USB mini B (substitute) vs. USB mini AB (main part) — both are 5-position USB mini connectors with receptacle gender
• Mounting Configuration: Surface mount, right-angle, horizontal mounting feature required
• Contact Count: 5 positions maintained
• Termination Method: Solder termination required
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) for handling compatibility

The substitute part M701-340542 (Harwin Inc.) meets these core substitution criteria as a USB mini B receptacle connector with identical mounting type, contact configuration, and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MUSB-05-S-AB-SM-A-TR and M701-340542 maintain active product status and full RoHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Connector Type Compatibility: The main part supports USB mini AB protocol, while the substitute supports USB mini B. Verify application requirements for connector type compatibility before substitution.
• Temperature Operating Range: The substitute part (M701-340542) provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) compared to the main part (-50°C ~ 85°C), suitable for wider environmental applications.
• Packaging Format: The main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format; the substitute is supplied in Bulk format. Confirm packaging requirements for assembly processes.
• Compliance Certifications: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability and ROHS3 compliance requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M701-340542 be used as a direct replacement for MUSB-05-S-AB-SM-A-TR?

A: Both connectors share identical mounting type (surface mount, right-angle), contact count (5 positions), termination method (solder), and compliance certifications. However, the connector types differ: USB mini AB versus USB mini B. Substitution is valid only if the application supports USB mini B protocol.

Q: What are the key differences between USB mini AB and USB mini B connectors?

A: The connector type difference is specified in the provided data. Verify your application's USB protocol requirements before substitution.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of M701-340542 affect substitution suitability?

A: The substitute part's extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) is compatible with applications requiring the main part's range (-50°C ~ 85°C). This represents an operational advantage with no compatibility restrictions.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution?

A: The main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk format. Confirm your assembly process requirements and handling procedures for the bulk packaging format.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both MUSB-05-S-AB-SM-A-TR and M701-340542 are RoHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels.
