Engineering Selection Recommendations

MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A: This part is a direct parametric equivalent to the MUSBR-05-F-O-A-SM-A. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration, mounting characteristics, operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 85°C), voltage rating (30V), and mating cycle rating (1500 cycles). Both feature brass shell material with orange insulation and are ROHS3 compliant with Active product status. This part represents the primary substitute option.

MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A: This part maintains all critical mechanical and electrical interface parameters required for USB mini A receptacle functionality. It shares the same connector type, contact count, gender, USB 2.0 specification, surface mount right-angle configuration, and solder termination. The part is ROHS3 compliant and Active status. Differences include copper alloy shell material instead of brass, black insulation instead of orange, and unspecified operating temperature, voltage rating, and mating cycle parameters. This part is functionally equivalent for the core USB interface but lacks documented thermal and electrical performance specifications.

Selection between substitute parts should be based on documented performance requirements for operating temperature, voltage stress, and mechanical durability (mating cycles) specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What defines a substitute part for the MUSBR-05-F-O-A-SM-A? A: A substitute part must maintain identical USB mini A connector type, 5-position receptacle configuration, USB 2.0 specification, surface mount right-angle horizontal mounting, solder termination, board guide and solder retention features, unshielded design, gold contact finish, and ROHS3 compliance. All three parts listed meet these criteria.

Q: Are MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A and MUSBR-05-F-O-A-SM-A interchangeable? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (USB 2.0, 30V rating, 1500 mating cycles), mechanical mounting (surface mount, right angle, horizontal), operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 85°C), shell material (brass), and insulation color (orange). They are fully parametrically equivalent.

Q: How does MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A differ from the main part? A: MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A maintains all core interface parameters but differs in shell material (copper alloy versus brass) and insulation color (black versus orange). Operating temperature, voltage rating, and mating cycle specifications are not documented for this part. It is functionally compatible for USB 2.0 mini A receptacle applications but lacks complete performance documentation.

Q: Can I use MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A in applications requiring -50°C ~ 85°C operation? A: The operating temperature range for MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A is not specified in the provided data. Applications with documented temperature requirements should use MUSBR-05-F-O-A-SM-A or MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A, both rated for -50°C ~ 85°C operation.

Q: What is the significance of the shell material difference? A: MUSBR-05-F-O-A-SM-A and MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A use brass shell material, while MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A uses copper alloy. Both materials provide electromagnetic shielding properties appropriate for unshielded connector designs. The choice between materials may affect mechanical durability and environmental resistance characteristics specific to application requirements.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. MUSBR-05-F-O-A-SM-A, MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A, and MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A are all ROHS3 compliant and carry Active product status from Samtec Inc.
