Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the Mini USB 2.0 Receptacle Connector category. The substitution criteria are established by the following key parameters:

Primary Equivalence 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

The MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A meets all primary equivalence parameters and is classified as a parametric equivalent. Both parts share identical functional and mechanical characteristics required for Mini USB 2.0 receptacle applications with surface mount, right-angle configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A and MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A are Active product status connectors manufactured by Samtec Inc. and are ROHS3 Compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The parts are functionally equivalent for Mini USB 2.0 receptacle applications requiring surface mount, right-angle configuration.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory Availability: MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A has 996 units in stock; MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A has 936 units in stock.

Specified Performance Parameters: MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A provides documented operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 85°C), rated voltage (30V), and mating cycle rating (1500), which are not specified for MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A.

Material Composition: MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A features copper alloy shell material with black insulation; MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A features brass shell material with orange insulation.

Both parts satisfy the core functional and mechanical requirements for Mini USB 2.0 receptacle applications and are suitable for direct substitution in surface mount, right-angle PCB configurations.
