Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1-R-TR are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: All substitute parts maintain USB 2.0 specification compliance with 4-position plug connector configuration.

Mechanical Compatibility: Substitute parts share identical mounting type (surface mount, right angle, through hole), horizontal mounting feature, solder termination, and board guide support.

Physical Configuration: All parts feature shielded construction with gold-plated contacts, black insulation, and identical connector gender (plug).

Regulatory Compliance: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification, ensuring regulatory equivalence.

Packaging: All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated assembly compatibility.

The identified substitute parts are Molex 0480372100 and Molex 0480372200, both from the 48037 series. These parts satisfy all parametric requirements for direct substitution in applications utilizing the USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1-R-TR connector.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

All three parts—USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1-R-TR, 0480372100, and 0480372200—are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification, confirming regulatory equivalence for industrial and commercial applications.

Samtec USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1-R-TR: Recommended as the primary component when extended low-temperature operation is required, with operating range of -50°C to 85°C. This part provides the widest thermal envelope for applications in harsh environmental conditions.

Molex 0480372100 and 0480372200: Both parts are functionally equivalent substitutes with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. Selection between these two Molex variants should be based on inventory availability and supply chain logistics, as both parts share identical parametric characteristics. The Molex parts provide higher rated voltage (150VAC versus 30VAC) and specified current rating (1.5A), offering enhanced electrical performance margins for demanding applications.

Compliance Assurance: All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical HTSUS classification (8536.69.4040), ensuring regulatory compliance across supply chain transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0480372100 and 0480372200 be used interchangeably with the Samtec USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1-R-TR?

A: Yes. Both Molex parts are parametric equivalents sharing identical connector type (USB-A), specifications (USB 2.0), contact count (4), gender (plug), mounting configuration (surface mount, right angle, through hole), termination method (solder), and board guide features. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with matching HTSUS codes.

Q: What is the difference between Molex 0480372100 and 0480372200?

A: Both parts are from the Molex 48037 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these two variants should be determined by inventory availability and procurement requirements, as parametric differences are not provided in the specification data.

Q: Are there temperature operating range differences between the Samtec and Molex parts?

A: Yes. The Samtec USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1-R-TR operates from -50°C to 85°C, while both Molex parts (0480372100 and 0480372200) operate from -20°C to 85°C. For applications requiring extended low-temperature performance below -20°C, the Samtec part is required.

Q: Do the Molex substitute parts provide higher electrical ratings?

A: Yes. The Molex parts specify 150VAC rated voltage and 1.5A current rating, compared to the Samtec part which specifies 30VAC rated voltage with unspecified current rating. The Molex parts provide higher electrical performance margins for applications with demanding power requirements.

Q: Are all three parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. All three parts—USB-AM-S-F-B-SM1-R-TR, 0480372100, and 0480372200—are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, ensuring compatibility with automated assembly processes.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to these USB 2.0 connectors?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. The Molex parts additionally specify UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. All parts share identical HTSUS classification (8536.69.4040).
