Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A)
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Number of Contacts: 4
• Gender: Plug
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle; Through Hole
• Mounting Feature: Horizontal
• Termination: Solder
• Features: Board Guide
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Number of Ports: 1
• Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute parts listed below meet all mandatory matching parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically compatible for direct substitution in applications requiring USB 2.0 Type-A plug connectors with the specified configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (USB-AM-S-F-W-SM1-R-TR): The Samtec USB-AM-S-F-W-SM1-R-TR is the specified part and should be used when available. It is active in production status and ROHS3 compliant. The part offers an extended operating temperature range of -50°C to 85°C, which provides broader thermal performance capability compared to substitute options.

Substitute Selection (Molex 0480372100 or 0480372200): Both Molex parts (0480372100 and 0480372200) are direct functional equivalents meeting all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for USB 2.0 Type-A plug connectors. Both are active in production, ROHS3 compliant, and available in significantly higher inventory quantities (17610 and 25131 pieces respectively). These parts are suitable for direct substitution when the primary part is unavailable.

Compliance Considerations: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, ensuring regulatory alignment for procurement and export purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0480372100 or 0480372200 be used as direct replacements for the Samtec USB-AM-S-F-W-SM1-R-TR?

A: Yes. Both Molex parts are parametric equivalents meeting all mandatory specifications for USB 2.0 Type-A plug connectors with surface mount, right-angle, horizontal mounting configuration and solder termination. They are electrically and mechanically compatible for direct substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between the main part and the substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Operating temperature range—Samtec offers -50°C to 85°C versus Molex -20°C to 85°C; (2) Rated voltage—Samtec 30VAC versus Molex 150VAC; (3) Current rating—Samtec not specified versus Molex 1.5A; (4) Inventory availability—Samtec 974 pieces versus Molex 17610 and 25131 pieces. These differences do not affect substitution compatibility for standard USB 2.0 applications.

Q: Are the Molex parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All three parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, ensuring compatibility with automated assembly processes and standard component handling procedures.

Q: Do all parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, ensuring consistent regulatory and compliance status across all options.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected if both Molex options are available?

A: Both Molex 0480372100 and 0480372200 are equivalent substitutes. Selection between them should be based on inventory availability, lead time, or specific procurement requirements, as they share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.
