UP2-AH-4-TH USB-A Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UP2-AH-4-TH is a USB-A (USB TYPE-A) USB 2.0 plug connector manufactured by CUI Devices. This through-hole, right-angle mounted connector features 4 positions with solder termination and is designed for applications requiring horizontal PCB mounting. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in design and procurement scenarios.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the UP2-AH-4-TH are qualified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
• Number of Contacts: 4
• Gender: Plug
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Current Rating: 1A
• Voltage - Rated: 30VAC
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Shell/Shielding Material: Steel
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in non-critical parameters such as finish thickness, mating cycles, and operating temperature ranges do not disqualify substitution eligibility when the primary functional and compliance criteria are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both UP2-AH-1-TH and USB-AP-S-RA meet the core substitution criteria for the UP2-AH-4-TH based on identical electrical specifications, mechanical mounting configuration, and compliance certifications.

UP2-AH-1-TH is a direct parametric equivalent from the same manufacturer (CUI Devices) within the UP2 series. This part maintains identical operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 85°C) and all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is contact finish thickness (3.0µ" versus 30µ"), which does not affect functional substitution. Moisture Sensitivity Level is specified as 1 (Unlimited) compared to Not Applicable for the original part.

USB-AP-S-RA is manufactured by Adam Tech and provides functional equivalence across all critical parameters. This part operates within a narrower temperature range (-20°C ~ 60°C), which represents a constraint relative to the original specification. Selection of this substitute requires confirmation that the application operating environment remains within the -20°C ~ 60°C window. Mating cycles are not specified for this part, whereas the original specifies 1500 cycles.

Both substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the original part's regulatory standing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UP2-AH-1-TH be used as a direct replacement for UP2-AH-4-TH?

A: Yes. UP2-AH-1-TH meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution. Both parts are USB-A USB 2.0 plug connectors with 4 contacts, through-hole right-angle mounting, 1A current rating, and identical operating temperature range. The parts are from the same manufacturer series and carry equivalent compliance certifications.

Q: What is the key limitation when using USB-AP-S-RA as a substitute?

A: USB-AP-S-RA operates within a reduced temperature range of -20°C ~ 60°C compared to the original part's -20°C ~ 85°C specification. This substitute is suitable only for applications where the operating environment does not exceed 60°C. Mating cycle data is not provided for this part.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between the substitute parts?

A: UP2-AH-1-TH specifies 3.0µ" contact finish thickness, while UP2-AH-4-TH specifies 30µ" finish thickness. Both parts use gold contact finish. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical substitution capability.

Q: Do all three parts carry the same regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. UP2-AH-4-TH, UP2-AH-1-TH, and USB-AP-S-RA are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. All three parts carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating.

Q: What is the inventory status of each part?

A: UP2-AH-4-TH has 952 pieces in stock. UP2-AH-1-TH has 17,543 pieces in stock. USB-AP-S-RA has 13,208 pieces in stock. Inventory levels may change; current availability should be confirmed at time of procurement.

Q: Are the mounting configurations identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts feature through-hole, right-angle mounting with horizontal mounting feature and solder termination. PCB layout compatibility is maintained across all substitutes.
