Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The USB3505-30-A-KIT qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: USB - micro B (identical)
• Number of Contacts: 5 (identical)
• Gender: Receptacle (identical)
• USB Specification: USB 2.0 (identical)
• Mounting Type: Board Edge, Cutout; Surface Mount; Through Hole, Right Angle (identical)
• Current Rating: 1A, 1.8A (identical)
• Voltage - Rated: 30VAC (identical)
• Ingress Protection: IP67 - Dust Tight, Waterproof (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C ~ 85°C (identical)
• Mating Cycles: 10000 (identical)
• Shielding: Shielded (identical)
• Contact Finish: Gold (identical)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is the inclusion of a gasket in the kit version, versus the board guide feature in the standard version. Both parts share the same base product number (USB3505) and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the USB3505-30-A and USB3505-30-A-KIT are active products from GCT with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and assembly requirements:

• USB3505-30-A: Standard configuration with board guide feature, suitable for applications requiring integrated guidance during assembly.
• USB3505-30-A-KIT: Kit configuration with gasket included, appropriate for applications requiring additional sealing or gasket-based assembly procedures.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical performance characteristics across all rated parameters. The choice between these parts does not impact electrical performance, thermal behavior, or environmental protection ratings.
