Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the USB4730-GF-A and USB4730-GF-A-KIT are active products from GCT with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical across both part numbers. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability. The USB4730-GF-A-KIT designation indicates a kit configuration, which may include additional components or packaging variations compared to the standard USB4730-GF-A unit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can USB4730-GF-A-KIT be used as a direct replacement for USB4730-GF-A?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (USB 2.0, 48VDC rated voltage, 0.25A–6.25A current ratings), mechanical configuration (24-position receptacle, surface mount right angle, horizontal mounting), environmental performance (IP67 ingress protection, -30°C to 85°C operating range), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0). The difference lies in packaging format, with the KIT designation indicating a kit configuration.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for USB4730-GF-A?

A: Substitution requires exact matching of connector type (USB-C receptacle), contact count (24 positions with 16+8 dummy), mounting configuration (surface mount, right angle, horizontal), ingress protection rating (IP67), operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), electrical ratings (48VDC, 0.25A–6.25A), material specifications (shielded, gold-plated contacts, stainless steel shell), and compliance status (ROHS3, UL94 V-0).

Q: Are there differences in mating cycle performance between these parts?

A: No. Both USB4730-GF-A and USB4730-GF-A-KIT are rated for 20000 mating cycles, indicating equivalent mechanical durability and connector longevity.

Q: What is the significance of the KIT designation?

A: The KIT designation indicates a packaged configuration that may include additional components, documentation, or alternative packaging arrangements compared to the standard part number. Electrical and mechanical performance remain identical.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring IP67 protection?

A: Yes. Both parts meet IP67 specifications for dust-tight and waterproof performance, making them suitable for sealed and environmentally protected applications.
