Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the USB-A-D-RA-HT-T/R and 72309-3045RPLF maintain active product status and comply with RoHS and REACH regulations. The 72309-3045RPLF offers enhanced current rating capability (1.5A per contact versus 1A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C versus -20°C ~ 60°C), making it suitable for applications requiring higher thermal or electrical performance margins. Both connectors are UL94 V-0 rated and feature identical mechanical mounting configurations, ensuring direct PCB-level compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific current and temperature requirements within the specified operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 72309-3045RPLF directly replace the USB-A-D-RA-HT-T/R on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mounting type (through hole, right angle), mounting feature (horizontal), number of ports (2), and contact configuration (8 positions). PCB footprints and board-level integration are compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The 72309-3045RPLF provides higher current rating per contact (1.5A versus 1A) and operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C versus -20°C ~ 60°C). The 72309-3045RPLF also specifies 1500 mating cycles, whereas the USB-A-D-RA-HT-T/R does not provide this specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The USB-A-D-RA-HT-T/R is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the 72309-3045RPLF is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both connectors are RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, and rated UL94 V-0 for material flammability. Both feature MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints.

Q: Which connector should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: The 72309-3045RPLF is rated for -55°C ~ 85°C operation, providing a wider thermal envelope suitable for extended temperature range applications. The USB-A-D-RA-HT-T/R operates within -20°C ~ 60°C.
