Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the USB-A-D-F-W-TH-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A), Stacked
• Number of Contacts: 8
• Gender: Receptacle
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Number of Ports: 2
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Lock
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Operating Temperature Range (within application limits)
• Current Rating (Amps) (within application limits)
• Voltage - Rated (within application limits)
• Contact Finish (Gold or Gold-Palladium)
• Shell/Shielding Material (Brass, Copper Alloy, or Steel)
• Insulation Color (Black or White)
• RoHS Status (ROHS3 Compliant or RoHS Compliant)

All five substitute parts listed meet the critical matching parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically equivalent to the USB-A-D-F-W-TH-R.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All five substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the USB-A-D-F-W-TH-R and maintain Active product status. Selection among these equivalents is based on the following criteria:

Samtec USB-A-D-F-B-TH: Direct manufacturer equivalent from Samtec Inc. Maintains identical operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 85°C) and ROHS3 compliance. Recommended when maintaining single-source supplier strategy or when Samtec-specific design documentation is required.

CNC Tech 1002-004-01010: Offers extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and specified current rating of 1.5A. ROHS3 compliant with highest available inventory (16,311 pcs). Recommended for applications requiring elevated temperature operation or when maximum current capacity is specified.

TE Connectivity 5787745-4 and 5787745-5: Both provide extended lower temperature operation (-55°C ~ 85°C) with 1A per contact current rating. Part 5787745-5 carries ROHS3 compliance; part 5787745-4 carries RoHS compliance. Copper alloy shell material. Recommended for military or aerospace applications requiring extended temperature ranges.

Assmann WSW AU-Y1008-2: Offers extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C) and 1.5A current rating. ROHS3 compliant with high inventory availability (11,360 pcs). Steel shell material and white insulation color distinguish this option. Recommended when alternative shell material or insulation color is acceptable and extended temperature operation is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can USB-A-D-F-W-TH-R be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All five substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical connector type (USB-A stacked receptacle), contact count (8), gender (receptacle), USB 2.0 specification, through-hole right-angle mounting, dual-port configuration, solder termination, board lock feature, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Direct substitution is permissible without circuit redesign.

Q: What are the key differences between substitute options?

A: Operating temperature range varies from -40°C to -55°C at the lower end and 85°C to 105°C at the upper end. Current ratings range from unspecified (Samtec parts) to 1A per contact (TE Connectivity) to 1.5A (CNC Tech and Assmann WSW). Shell materials differ: brass, copper alloy, or steel. Insulation color is black for most parts except Assmann WSW (white). RoHS compliance levels vary between ROHS3 and RoHS.

Q: Which substitute part has the best inventory availability?

A: CNC Tech 1002-004-01010 has the highest inventory with 16,311 pcs in stock, followed by Assmann WSW AU-Y1008-2 with 11,360 pcs. Samtec USB-A-D-F-B-TH has 1,276 pcs, TE Connectivity 5787745-4 has 7,282 pcs, and TE Connectivity 5787745-5 has 1,067 pcs.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Four of five substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant: USB-A-D-F-B-TH (Samtec), 1002-004-01010 (CNC Tech), 5787745-5 (TE Connectivity), and AU-Y1008-2 (Assmann WSW). TE Connectivity 5787745-4 carries RoHS compliance without the ROHS3 designation. Both compliance levels are acceptable for most applications; verify specific procurement requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range differences?

A: Operating temperature range determines the connector's suitability for specific environmental conditions. The USB-A-D-F-W-TH-R operates from -50°C to 85°C. CNC Tech 1002-004-01010 extends the upper limit to 105°C, suitable for high-temperature applications. TE Connectivity and Assmann WSW parts extend the lower limit to -55°C, suitable for cold-environment applications. Select based on application thermal requirements.

Q: Do shell material differences affect electrical performance?

A: Shell material (brass, copper alloy, or steel) does not affect electrical performance for USB 2.0 applications. Material selection impacts mechanical durability, corrosion resistance, and cost. Copper alloy and brass provide superior corrosion resistance; steel offers cost efficiency. Select based on environmental exposure and mechanical durability requirements.

Q: Is the white insulation color of AU-Y1008-2 compatible with standard PCB designs?

A: Yes. Insulation color is a cosmetic and identification feature without functional impact on electrical or mechanical compatibility. White insulation does not affect circuit performance or board assembly. Select based on design documentation requirements or visual identification preferences.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors can be stored indefinitely without desiccant packaging and do not require special handling or baking procedures prior to soldering. This applies to all substitute parts listed.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same design?

A: Yes, all substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent and can be used interchangeably within the same design. However, verify that procurement, documentation, and quality assurance procedures accommodate multiple approved suppliers and part numbers.
