Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1-R are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
• Number of Contacts: 4 positions
• Gender: Plug
• Specifications: USB 2.0 compliance
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded configuration
• Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Insulation Color: Black
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in operating temperature ranges, voltage ratings, current ratings, and mating cycle specifications are documented in the parameter comparison table and do not preclude substitution when application requirements fall within the specified ranges of the substitute component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Samtec USB-AM-S-S-B-SM1: This part is a parametric equivalent manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintains identical core specifications to the primary part number. Both components share the same manufacturer, connector type, contact configuration, and compliance certifications. The USB-AM-S-S-B-SM1 is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the primary part is unavailable. Current inventory of 1099 pieces supports supply continuity.

Adam Tech USB-AP-S-RA-SMT: This part provides functional equivalence with USB 2.0 Type-A 4-position plug configuration and identical mounting and termination characteristics. The component is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Operating temperature range is -20°C to 60°C, which is narrower than the primary part. Current rating of 1.5A is specified. Inventory availability of 9545 pieces provides robust supply support. Selection of this part requires verification that application operating temperature requirements fall within the -20°C to 60°C range.

Molex 0480371000: This part is a parametric equivalent offering USB 2.0 Type-A 4-position plug configuration with surface mount, right angle, and through hole mounting options. The component is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Operating temperature range is -20°C to 85°C, and rated voltage is 150VAC with 1.5A current rating. Inventory of 7928 pieces supports supply availability. The higher voltage rating and extended upper temperature limit to 85°C provide operational flexibility for applications with elevated thermal or voltage requirements.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification, ensuring regulatory consistency with the primary part number.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the core electrical parameters that determine substitution compatibility for USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1-R?

A: The primary electrical parameters are USB 2.0 specification compliance, 4-position contact configuration, shielded design, and gold-plated contacts. All identified substitute parts meet these specifications. Operating temperature, voltage rating, and current rating specifications vary among substitutes and must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: Can USB-AM-S-S-B-SM1 be used as a direct replacement for USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc., share identical connector type (USB-A), contact count (4), gender (Plug), specifications (USB 2.0), mounting type (Surface Mount), termination (Solder), shielding (Shielded), contact finish (Gold), and compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant). The parts are functionally equivalent for USB 2.0 interface applications.

Q: What are the mechanical differences between the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts feature surface mount, right angle, and through hole mounting options with horizontal mounting features and solder termination. The primary differences are in manufacturer origin (Samtec, Adam Tech, or Molex) and specific performance ratings. Mechanical form factor and PCB footprint compatibility should be verified during design integration.

Q: Are there temperature operating range limitations when selecting substitute parts?

A: Yes. The Adam Tech USB-AP-S-RA-SMT operates from -20°C to 60°C, which is narrower than the primary part's -50°C to 85°C range. The Molex 0480371000 operates from -20°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -20°C or above 60°C should use the Samtec parts or Molex part accordingly.

Q: Do all substitute parts have identical voltage ratings?

A: No. The Samtec USB-AM-S-S-B-SM1 is rated at 30VAC. The Adam Tech USB-AP-S-RA-SMT is rated at 30VAC. The Molex 0480371000 is rated at 150VAC. Applications requiring higher voltage tolerance should specify the Molex part.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory consistency with the primary part number USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1-R.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All substitute parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: How do mating cycle ratings compare among the parts?

A: The Samtec USB-AM-S-S-B-SM1 specifies 1500 mating cycles. The Adam Tech and Molex parts do not provide mating cycle specifications in the available data. Applications with high-cycle mating requirements should prioritize the Samtec part with documented cycle rating.
