Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MUSBB151N5 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part MUSBB15101 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical specifications across all key selection criteria:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB - mini B (identical)
• Number of Contacts: 5 (identical)
• Gender: Receptacle (identical)
• USB Specification: USB 2.0 (identical)
• Mounting Configuration: Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle (identical)
• Mounting Feature: Flange, Horizontal (identical)
• Termination Method: Solder (identical)
• Ingress Protection: IP67 (identical)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 105°C (identical)
• Current Rating: 1A (identical)
• Mating Cycles: 5000 (identical)
• Shielding: Shielded (identical)
• Contact Finish: Gold (identical)
• Shell Material: Copper Alloy (identical)
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (identical)
• RoHS Compliance: Yes (identical)
• MSL Rating: 1 (identical)

The only difference between the main part and substitute is packaging format (bulk versus box), which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MUSBB151N5 and MUSBB15101 are active products from Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory management needs:

MUSBB151N5 is suitable for applications requiring bulk packaging format.

MUSBB15101 is suitable for applications requiring box packaging format.

Both parts maintain full compliance with RoHS regulations and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Both are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling. The identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications confirm equivalent regulatory and trade status.

Direct substitution between these parts is permissible without design modification, PCB layout changes, or electrical circuit recalculation, as all functional parameters remain constant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
