SCRU-02 USB-B to USB-A Adapter Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCRU-02 is a panel mount USB adapter connector manufactured by Samtec Inc. that converts USB-B (USB TYPE-B) receptacle connections to USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle connections. This adapter enables bulkhead mounting applications where direct USB-B to USB-A connectivity is required. The part is currently in active product status with 740 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional specifications, electrical ratings, and mechanical mounting configurations are required due to availability constraints, supply chain considerations, or design standardization across manufacturing batches.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCRU-02 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type Conversion: USB-B (USB TYPE-B) receptacle input to USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle output
• Mounting Configuration: Panel mount with bulkhead installation capability
• Electrical Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Regulatory Classification: EAR99 export control classification
• Tariff Code: HTSUS 8536.69.4030 classification

The identified substitute part PX0842/B from Bulgin meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts function identically as USB adapter connectors with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is the mounting mechanism detail: PX0842/B includes rear side nut fastening, which is a mechanical variation compatible with the same panel mount bulkhead application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SCRU-02 and PX0842/B are active product status components with identical electrical and regulatory compliance profiles. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: PX0842/B offers higher inventory availability (3907 units versus 740 units)
• Mounting Mechanism: PX0842/B includes rear side nut fastening, which may be preferred for applications requiring additional mechanical security during panel installation
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification requirements
• Tariff Classification: Both parts share identical HTSUS code 8536.69.4030, ensuring consistent customs and duty treatment

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
