USB-A2VSB6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The USB-A2VSB6 is an active USB Type-A stacked receptacle connector manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc. This 8-position through-hole connector is designed for vertical mounting with board lock features and solder termination. The part is actively produced and maintained in inventory, making it suitable for new designs and production applications. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, lead time considerations, or specific design requirements related to insulation color or packaging preferences.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The USB-A2VSW6 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the USB-A2VSB6 based on the following critical substitution criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Identical):

Connector type: USB-A stacked receptacle
Contact count: 8 positions
Current rating: 1A
Voltage rating: 30VAC
Contact finish: Gold

Mechanical Parameters (Identical):

Mounting type: Through hole
Mounting feature: Vertical
Termination method: Solder
Number of ports: 2
Board lock feature: Present

Environmental & Compliance Parameters (Identical):

Operating temperature range: -20°C ~ 60°C
Material flammability: UL94 V-0
Shell material: Brass
Shielding: Unshielded
RoHS3 compliance: Yes
MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Distinguishing Parameter:

Insulation color: Black (USB-A2VSB6) vs. White (USB-A2VSW6)

The insulation color difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both parts share the same base product number (USB-A2V) and are manufactured by the same supplier.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the USB-A2VSB6 and USB-A2VSW6 are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory Availability: The USB-A2VSW6 maintains significantly higher stock levels (66,460 pcs) compared to the USB-A2VSB6 (1,029 pcs), making it preferable for high-volume production or when lead time is a critical factor.

Design Requirements: If insulation color is specified in the design documentation, the appropriate part must be selected. The black insulation (USB-A2VSB6) and white insulation (USB-A2VSW6) variants are functionally equivalent but visually distinct.

Compliance Status: Both parts meet REACH unaffected status and carry EAR99 ECCN classification, making them suitable for equivalent regulatory applications.

Packaging: Both parts are supplied in trays, maintaining consistent handling and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can USB-A2VSW6 be used as a direct replacement for USB-A2VSB6?

A: Yes. The USB-A2VSW6 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The only difference is insulation color (white vs. black). If color is not a design constraint, direct substitution is valid.

Q: Does insulation color affect connector performance?

A: No. Insulation color is a cosmetic parameter that does not impact electrical performance, mechanical fit, or environmental ratings. Both variants deliver identical functional performance.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mounting specifications: through-hole vertical mounting with solder termination. PCB layout and footprint are interchangeable.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both connectors are rated for 1A continuous current at 30VAC maximum voltage.

Q: Are these connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both USB-A2VSB6 and USB-A2VSW6 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: Both connectors operate reliably from -20°C to 60°C.

Q: Do these connectors include board lock features?

A: Yes. Both variants include board lock features for mechanical retention on the PCB.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level?

A: Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
