Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A with equivalent parts is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching 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
• Number of Ports: 1
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Contact Finish: Gold
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a parametric equivalent. Both connectors share identical form factor, electrical interface, and mounting characteristics, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring USB 2.0 mini A receptacle connectivity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A and MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A are Active product status connectors manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The connectors are electrically and mechanically equivalent for USB 2.0 mini A receptacle applications requiring surface mount, right-angle configuration with solder termination.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability and lead time requirements
• Specific PCB layout and mechanical space constraints
• Supply chain continuity and long-term availability forecasts
• Existing component qualification and design documentation

Both parts satisfy identical electrical performance requirements for USB 2.0 data transmission and mechanical interface specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A be used as a direct replacement for MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector type (USB mini A), contact count (5), gender (receptacle), mounting configuration (surface mount, right angle), and termination method (solder). All critical electrical and mechanical parameters match, enabling direct substitution.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges between these parts?

A: The MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A specifies an operating temperature range of -50°C to 85°C. The MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data. Applications requiring confirmed temperature performance should reference the MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A specification.

Q: What are the differences in shell material?

A: The MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A uses brass shell material, while the MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A uses copper alloy. Both materials provide equivalent shielding and mechanical properties for unshielded receptacle applications.

Q: Do both connectors support the same mating cycle rating?

A: The MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A specifies 1500 mating cycles. The MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A does not provide a mating cycle specification in the available data.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A and MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: What is the difference in insulation color?

A: The MUSBR-05-S-O-A-SM-A features orange insulation, while the MUSB-05-S-A-SM-A features black insulation. Insulation color does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided that design documentation and PCB layouts accommodate both part numbers. Both connectors maintain identical form factor and mounting footprint for surface mount, right-angle applications.
