SPM-05-S-B-VT1-PF USB Mini B Receptacle Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SPM-05-S-B-VT1-PF is an active USB mini B receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for sealed port applications requiring panel mount, through-hole installation. This 5-position connector delivers IP68-rated ingress protection with a current rating of 1.9A per contact and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant and maintains unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), making it suitable for demanding industrial and sealed enclosure applications. Equivalent substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, supply chain optimization, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

• Connector Type: USB - mini B (identical)
• Number of Contacts: 5 (identical)
• Gender: Receptacle (identical)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Through Hole (identical)
• Mounting Feature: Bulkhead - Front Side Nut (identical)
• Termination: Solder (identical)
• Current Rating: 1.9A per Contact (identical)
• Voltage - Rated: 190V (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (identical)
• Ingress Protection: IP68 - Dust Tight, Waterproof (identical)
• Shielding: Shielded (identical)
• Contact Finish: Gold (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

Both parts share the same base product number (SPM-05) and series designation, confirming functional and mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SPM-05-S-B-VT1-PF and SPM-05-S-B-VT2-PF maintain active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification.

Selection between these equivalents may be based on inventory availability, lead time, or procurement cost optimization without compromising design performance or regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SPM-05-S-B-VT2-PF be used as a direct replacement for SPM-05-S-B-VT1-PF?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents sharing identical electrical specifications (1.9A per contact, 190V rated voltage), mechanical mounting (panel mount, through-hole, bulkhead front side nut), environmental protection (IP68), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected). No design modifications are required.

Q: Are there any differences in connector compatibility or mating cycles?

A: No. Both parts feature identical 5-position USB mini B receptacle configurations with 1000 mating cycles and shielded gold-plated contacts. Mating plug compatibility is identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and environmental standards?

A: Yes. Both SPM-05-S-B-VT1-PF and SPM-05-S-B-VT2-PF are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, classified as EAR99, and carry the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4030). Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (unlimited) for both parts.

Q: What is the difference between VT1 and VT2 designations?

A: The VT1 and VT2 designations represent variant codes within the SPM-05 base product family. All other electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters remain identical, making these parts fully interchangeable for the specified application.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. SPM-05-S-B-VT1-PF has 968 pcs in stock, while SPM-05-S-B-VT2-PF has 1128 pcs in stock. Selection may depend on procurement timeline and quantity requirements.
