Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SS-52000-004 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the main part specifications:

Core Matching Criteria:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A) receptacle
• USB Specification: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Superspeed USB 3.0)
• Number of Contacts: 9 Position
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Vertical orientation
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded design
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Features: Board Lock functionality

All four substitute parts (0484080003, 692121430000, GSB3121171CHR, USB1086-GF-B) meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements, ensuring functional equivalence in USB 3.0 receptacle applications. Variations in operating temperature range, mating cycle ratings, and shell material composition do not affect primary substitution eligibility but may influence selection based on specific application demands.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original SS-52000-004 specification. Selection among equivalent parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

0484080003 (Molex): Suitable for applications requiring extended operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C) and higher mating cycle durability (5000 cycles). Recommended for moderate-duty industrial environments.

692121430000 (Würth Elektronik): Offers extended operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C) and elevated mating cycle rating (5000 cycles) with stainless steel shielding. Appropriate for corrosive or demanding environmental conditions.

GSB3121171CHR (Amphenol ICC): Provides the widest operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) with mating cycle rating matching the original part (1500 cycles). Suitable for extreme temperature applications or specialized industrial use cases.

USB1086-GF-B (GCT): Delivers the highest mating cycle rating (20000 cycles) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Recommended for high-frequency connection/disconnection applications or extended product lifecycle requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the SS-52000-004 with any of these equivalent parts without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical connector type, USB 3.0 specification, 9-position contact configuration, through-hole vertical mounting, and solder termination. PCB footprint compatibility is maintained across all listed equivalents.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The core USB 3.0 receptacle functionality is identical. Differences exist in operating temperature range, mating cycle durability, and shell material composition. These variations address different application environments and expected product lifecycles.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for a high-reliability application?

A: The USB1086-GF-B offers the highest mating cycle rating (20000 cycles), making it suitable for applications with frequent connection cycles. The GSB3121171CHR provides the widest temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) for extreme environment applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, matching the regulatory status of the original SS-52000-004.

Q: What is the significance of the mating cycle rating?

A: Mating cycle rating indicates the number of times a connector can be connected and disconnected while maintaining electrical and mechanical integrity. Higher ratings support applications with frequent plug/unplug cycles.

Q: Do all parts use the same contact finish?

A: Yes. All substitute parts feature gold-plated contacts, ensuring consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance across all equivalents.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided your application requirements fall within the operating parameters of the selected substitute. Verify that operating temperature range and mating cycle expectations align with your specific use case.
